Langkawi - Team Building

I was one of the 55 staff nominated to attend our IT Department office team building session in Langkawi from 04 until 06 April 2010. Initially I did not put too much interest of the trip due to its distance and had been to Langkawi on several occasion.


The company rented Plusliner bus service to complement the company bus. I prefer taking the bus for the adventure of it. Most of us occupy two seat to ourselves since on the last minute some people decline to attend due to several reasons. Some took MAS, Air Asia and Firefly to get there. We depart at 10.30 and reached Kuala Perlis at 5am after one stop-over at Sungai Perak rest area. Performed the Subuh prayers at 6am. By chance we met a group of tourist from Perak who host the Imam and Bilal. Our ferry left Kuala Perlis Jetty at 8.30am. We reached the Resort at Pantai Cenang close to Porto Malai Resort. The whole afternoon and night was occupied with Coporate Event games. By 12am most of us retired to bed.

Everyone woke up fresh the next day anticipating for the physical event at Temurun Waterfalls and Pasir Tengkorak Beach. At Temurun, I met a couple from Germany having their holiday. Met few more couples from Scotland and Canada at Pasir Tengkorak Beach.

By 7pm we were back at the resort. While having BBQ, we performed group presentation based on sketches from P Ramlee oldies.

Next morning on Monday we packed to return back to KL. Stopped over at Gamat factory and later shopped at Kuah. Took the 2.30 pm ferry and the bus depart Kuala Perlis for KL at 5.30 pm. Reached KL at 1.30 morning
