Where to go for our Company's Trip this year?

Received a survey form from the Company today. It is for us to vote where and when to go for our this year Company's trip. Let's see...... Ohh.. each of the trip costs us RM600.00 and as usual the Company's budget is RM380.00 per person. Since the Company anticipated less than 100% participation, it forwarded its generous step to subsidise another RM110.00 on top of the RM380.00. That means we only need to pay RM110.00 for the trip. Great?? Not really...

Is not an oversea trip. Is a domestic trip merely. The 3 places to be vote for are :-

1. Say 'hi' to Mahsuri at Pulau Langkawi - I believe this trip mainly focus on sightseeing and island vacation. But would it be too expensive for a 3 days 2 nights stay at Langkawi for RM600.00 per person.

2. Prisoned at Swiss Garden Resorts & Spa, Kuantan - I guess we would be arranged to spend and relax our 3 days 2 nights in the resorts itself. Of course... there should be some so-called fun and fantastic activities be arranged, most likely are team building stuffs or tele-match related. My curiosity........ why we wanna incurred more on transportation to go to this resorts? Can't we just go somewhere nearer? As far as what I know, all the resorts are 80% same what?

3. Dangerous lifestyle in Endau Rompin - Basically is a jungle typed of lifestyle there. Heard somebody even call this place as Taman Negara, Number 2. I'm not sure whether is it true. Why don't just go to Taman Negara since it's more popular? ... I guess should be budget problem lo. I don't like jungle lifestyle, so dangerous... I don't like trekking, so tiring....

You might wonder why it costs us so much to participate in these trip, right? OK, let me tell you the truth.... Besides accomodation, meals, transportation etc, we need to pay for the conference / meeting room and its related expenses. Yes, my Company will hold a meeting there, such a waste of money and time, right? Anyway.... I haven't make my choice yet. Got to discuss further with colleagues first.. Hehe!!

Back home in sick again!!

Sunday morning, I was not feeling well as i had an unsleepable night on saturday.In fact, I was very very sick that time. Since I was so sick, father and I decided to go back to KL in that morning. We went to my cousin's restaurant and said 'goodbye' to them then straight away headed to the bus station to buy the 10.30am tickets back to KL. Fyi, the bus services from Cameron Highlands is actually monopolied by 2 companies which is Unititi and Kurnia Bistari. So, 10.30pm sharp, I said 'goodbye' to Cameron Highlands.

Bus Station at Tanah Rata

The journey took around 5.5 hours (including LRT and car transport to my house). I didn't enjoy the scenery at all as I was non stop vomitting all the way during this 5.5 hours. It was really an unforgettable experience, is my toughest experience in my life.... Although I did't take any breakfast, I really cannot understand the reason why still I have lots of thing to vomit, really strange!! I will never forget this experience, I hate zig-zag, narrow and steep road. I swear, I won't go Cameron Highlands anymore in my life!!

Reached home about 4.30pm and straight away went to bed..... A deep sleep until 6.00am next morning . Then only I felt better. Yes, I am now highly agree that sleeping is a powerful and effective remedy for me, definitely.....

Unsleepable night

Saturday night, I had an unsleepable night at Cameron Highlands. Is really a night long suffering for me. I tried to count sheeps, listened to music all night long but it seemed not helping at all. I felt tired physically but i really couldn't sleep at all. I was mentally awaken all night long. Everybody was sleeping soundly except me... Help!!!

The Apartment in Cameron Highlands

I am staying at the apartment namely Desa Anthurium locate in Tanah Rata. Although it is called 'Tanah Rata' but the land here is not 'rata' at all. Haha... It is a 3 rooms apartment which cost RM200/= per night. Astro service is included. Both bathrooms are installed with water heater ( This is a super important electrical appliances in Cameron Highlands ) which really made our life easy. Try to enjoy the view from the balcony, is really nice!!

The apartment where we stayed........ Desa Anthurium

Father and i occupied the smallest room. The room is quite comfortable and completed with 2 single beds. No air-cond is installed in the apartment as it is not a neccesity here.

Wedding Dinner on Saturday Night at Cameron Highlands

Saturday afternoon, My family made a sudden decision to travel to Cameron Highlands. The main purpose is not for sightseeing but to attend my cousin's wedding dinner. Father and I would represent my family to attend that dinner.

Immediately started packing our stuff and booked bus tickets. We then took LRT to Puduraya and took the 1.30pm bus to Cameron Highlands. The bus really super old and from the sight of surface, it even looked a lot more older than me.

The journey took around 4.5 hours. After passing the massive jam area of Bidor and Tapah, the bus started to climb up the Cameron Highlands hill. This 'climbing process' took approximately 1.5 hours.

Reached the bus station of Tanah Rata around 6.30pm and my cousin straight away picked us up and headed to the Hotel for the dinner. The dinner started 7.00pm sharp. The dishes served are considered so so if compared to Hotel at Kuala Lumpur. But generally, the service level is good. The dinner finished at around 9.00pm and we straight away went back to apartment for rest. What a tiring trip and dinner !!!

The couples and their family members are on the stage!!
