Guess what guys? I am finally blogging again! after 10 days! been slacking due to commitments, but now I'm back! trying to get at least 1-2 posts per week! So...what recently happened? I headed over to Tioman Island for a vacation!
Technically its a company trip, but who cares? its still a vacation! For those who do not know, I work in an experiential marketing agency called Cake Experiential Communications. Its a very niche industry, but we're able to experiment with new technologies, and the main goal is to create experiences that the consumer will cherish.
The Bus Ride
We finally had our first company trip as we joined our sister company Hotshoes Events on theirs. We started our journey early in the morning at 12am, where we took a bus all the way to Mersing. 6 hours drive, *yawn* but pretty much we slept like pigs in the bus.
As we arrived at Mersing, We headed off for an early breakfast at a nearby mamak. Funny thing, some of my colleagues took sleeping pills, and well...they continued to sleep at the mamak.

We then headed over to the Jetty and got on our 2 hour ferry ride to Tioman. luckily the waves were calm so we could sleep easily on the ride there.

As we reached Tioman, we headed on the shuttle bus and zoomed off to Berjaya Resort. It pretty much looks the same as the last time I went there as a kid, like nothing has changed. We spent the first day pretty much free & easy, chilling on the beach, drinking a cold beer and of course having an awesome bbq at night. The company telematches and games were only planned for the 2nd day, so we pretty much had a lot of time for ourselves

Who can say no to this?
The company after the bbq
As the 2nd day went on, I missed snorkelling because I overslept. Actually there were quite a number of us who chose to sleep in than to go snorkelling. Oh well. But the company games went on, and my team managed to win a few and of course, lose a few. Its all for good fun, so definitely it was a blast!
Honestly to me, this trip was just meant for me to chill and relax. taking all the stress off.

Enjoying a Honduras cigar
As night came, the gala dinner commenced. We had great food as it looked pretty "atas" (high class). We had a live band playing music, and also there were plenty of prizes to be won. Unfortunately I didn't win any, but I definitely had a great time looking at my colleagues go crazy that night

Definitely it was a great trip. Managed to get to know my colleagues at another level, and it has refreshed my mojo to work more =D Can't wait for the next company outing!
