Team Building: Part 4 (The end)

Woke up around 7.30 am the next day (Saturday), took a shower and went down to the Aqua Marine café for buffet breakfast. By this time, I was so tired of looking at buffets, my stomach just refused to accept anything so I just gulped down some cereal and a few sips of coffee.

Boss arrived and we all headed to the beach for the canoe race. I was reluctant to go at first. I have never canoed before and the water ski accident a few months ago at the same sea was still fresh in my mind, so I sat contemplating for a while since we were given an option to participate or not to but I finally decided to give it a go and ahoy, off I went. Canoeing looks easy but once I was in the sea, rowing, it was rather hard to move. Kept going sideways instead. I was rather afraid, my hands felt cold and I kept praying that the canoe won’t capsize. Well, it didn’t. Came back in one piece to the shore and decided to go again, for fun. This time my partner was a guy so we paddled faster. Over excited, I went again for the third time with another guy who didn’t have a partner but the third was a hard one, coz I was tired, my hands ached.

The water was getting choppy and I was just glad to touch the shore again.

Headed back to the pool and dipped ourselves in. The pool had this sip and dip sunken bar (the one like a chalet at the side of the pool) with stools that were submerged in water which was rather cool. Unfortunately it was not open, so we just sat on the stools and chatted.




Headed off to the room to wash up and headed to the hotel meeting room by 11.30 am where we were given another briefing on the next oncoming projects for 2007 and 2008.
1 pm was another buffet lunch at the Aqua Marines again. By 2 pm, we checked out and headed back to KL.

I really had a good time. It almost felt like a paid vacation. :-)
