Away Day

I just came back from my team building. We call it the away day of our department. My current company is so good because they willing to spend the money for each department to go for a trip. Therefore this time we chose Bukit Tinggi – a French theme park surrounded by the hills and nature. Best of all, it was just 30 minutes drive to Genting Highland – where this is the only place in Malaysia that have the licensed casino.

We spent 2 days 1 night stay in Bukit Tinggi and the event was great. Despite of having a lot of fun, the night seems to be very dull as all the shops closed very early. (FYI there is only one street of shops and that is less than a mile long). I was thinking to go Genting Highland for the casino alone but however going from one hill to another is not easy. Although it was just about 30 minutes drive from Bukit Tinggi to Genting Highland but due to the road condition (dark, sloppy and no lamppost) it is a very difficult task. Furthermore my friend doesn’t want to follow and therefore I ended up staying in the hotel room watching TV.

In fact I am very regretted for not bringing my laptop because if I did, I can at least logon to online betting without needed to drive for the casino. Due to this lesson I think I will bring my laptop together on next year team building.

Hahaa, the best is on top of a free trip, we also entitled 1 off day to cover back our personal time.

Really appreciate for what I'm having now. Hope the condition will stay on even after the 'grand sales'..
