Journey To Uncertainty

Date : 9th Feb – 10th Feb 2011

Venue: Janda Baik, Pahang.

This is not a regular journey...it’s full of surprises..unexpected..unknowns..curiosities...uncertainties..lessons ..and hopes... among 12 lucky participants, we featured ourselves to be a proactive by just to behave as ourself..not to pretend to be others just to get the ‘great gift’...

How could I be the one of them..how could I was selected..with whom I went there..what for I be there...who's the organizer..what's the 'great gift'...that's all very secret...the thing that I wanna tell is hopefully I could grab that 'great offer'...so long I wait for that...and so much effort I put for that...

Surprises...very surprises when I got a call from the organizer to invite me for the first meeting...a week after that I got another call..told me that I'm selected for the next selection...I've to attend 2days journey to ensure that I'm qualified enough to get the 'great gift'...

The journey started with so much unexpected, unknowns and curiosities.....we're knew nothing what we're going to do.. where was the destination to went..we also doesn't knew each others...I wondered what kind of journey was that...until we arrived at Janda Baik, then we knew the destination...next..what we're going to do???

At first, we gathered at D'Ark chalet...whoaa, so lucky when got 2days free vacation at a greeny and classical chalet..taste a very delicious dishes for free...include free transportation...no one refuse to get it right???

But...unexpectedly..the truth is we're stayed in a tent and we're cook by ourselves for our dinner...haha..very unexpected!!!so, the lesson is expected the unexpected...after having dinner..we had some activities..just like ice breaking..just to know each others...and some sharing ideas, experiences and knowledges....

Around 11pm...after took supper..we're going to sleep..in wet tent because it was a heavy rain just after we're finished set up our tent!!! owh, it was very cruel I think..just imagine we're camping in a jungle..it was very cold at night..furthermore in a wet tent!! but at that time I thought they're not very cruel because they allowed us to sleep early...we're told that tomorrow will be a tough activities...so, tried to get enough rest...

But...surprisingly...they wake us up at 1.00am..again..expected the unexpected.. and this time for solo drop activities...oh no! this activity I hate most..I'm not brave enough to stay alone in a dark jungle at night!!!I never make it for the second time...I used to do it last 2years ago..and I was failed.[click here].. but now I've to repeat it once again...luckily..the activity was just for 1hour only...fuh!!

The second day journey....after took breakfast made by ourselves..there had a wet activities..it was very much enjoy when we had to cross the very cold and fresh river together with team members in a line..after that, we gathered for last activity...time for took lessons as much as we can..for that moment..if can, I want to record everything..because it was very meaningful lessons based on each of the activity started from first moment of the journey....

And now...hopes..hopefully I'm the luckiest person to get the 'great gift'...hopefully I can meet all of them over again..and hopefully I can utilize all the lessons to face all this life...but if I'm not the lucky person to be selected (not put high hope actually)..at least I can see the pathway...because I met many top managers from various top companies there..ehem..ada maksud yang tersembunyi di situ~

Allright...time for sharing the place..Janda Baik...for this time..no original pictures from my camera...because we're not allowed to use camera or phones during the journey...but I copy from internet to show you all how awesome this place...how beautiful this place...especially their river...it's very much beautiful and fresh...the river is along the road..from one chalet to another...there has a lot of chalet..but the road to be there is very bengkang bengkok...sampaikan aku termuntah masa nak balik tuh!!haha..malu siot...

Sungai berbatu...sangat cantik!

Peaceful...

But I'm not suggest any of you to go there during rainy days...because the water from the river is easy to overflow and becomes flood...and the water flow with very fast...so dangerous...and the scene that very beauty and peace automatically changes to a bad scene...

And the most interesting is the food is very delicious especially for catering at D'Ark chalet...rasa cam nak tapau jer..tersangat sedap lah!!aku makan tak ingat dunia before balik tuh!tu yang sampai tengah jalan bengkang bengkok terus muntah..ngee~

Sebagai penutup...I think I wanna go there for one more time..because I'm not satisfied when I came back from there with not any single photos! ruginyer~

This is very meaningful : "Nice to meet a great lady with strong character, always willing to lend a helping hand and yet always adventures...I learn a lot from you!" - From Pak Din.

Day Out @ FRIM

Date : 29th Jan 2011
Venue : Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM), Kepong

All participants around 200 peoples....

FRIM located at Kepong, Selangor..near to Selayang...I'd been there last month for my company's event...we're divided by 5 teams..red, green, yellow, blue and black..and each teams divided by two for treasure hunt and amazing race..I was in red team under amazing race...

At first, I thought amazing race was better than treasure hunt..but I was wrong...treasure hunt was very2 much better...it's ok, at least I know what is 'amazing race'...the tasks was very tough..at 1st check point, we all had to find 5 glass ball in a dirty pool..bau dia tak tau nak describe macammana..

Cari guli dalam kolam...

my red team...

After that, we had to paint our faces with colourfull paint..and then become 'orang asli'..wearing clothes made from leaves...and then shot with 'sumpit' by using wet papers...and then the most dirty task..crawl dalam air lumpur...this task gave me a long side effect..know what? almost a whole week after that..seluruh badan aku gatal-gatal dan melecet..made me took an injection!OMG...

Overall..I'd so much fun and really enjoyed for the amazing race..now move to evening session...sukaneka la pulak....there had a lot of games...I think more than 30 games..last with tarik tali...but I didn't got involved in any games..bukan sebab tak minat tapi sebab aku terus mandi lepas amazing race tu..kalau tak mandi macammana nak solat zohor...di tambah pulak petang tu memang hujan non-stop..so malas lah nak kotorkan baju lagi...conclusion, for the evening session, I was prefer to be an observer...gelakkan orang yang main..kandid gambar orang..and also snap a beautiful scene there...and the most part I like...makanan best giler..haha...

Allright..now as usual..I'm gonna share what is the interesting part about this place...first, it is a very2 beautiful place, peace, and very green... there had beautiful and fresh waterfall...memang best giler mandi kat sini...this place nampak terjaga..maybe sebab tak ramai orang berkunjung ke sini...

one of waterfall at FRIM..

FRIM also might be a great place to do any event or training because it's completed with facilities such as mosque, large field, resort, hall..etc.. dan jangan terkejut di sini jugak ada bookstore, primary school, nursery, library, sekolah agama, dan banyak lagi kemudahan lain...selain daripada tu..entah lah..tak tau ape lagi yang special..maklumlah aku pergi sehari jer..tak sempat nak explore banyak2...but for me it's a right place to release stress... below I attached some pictures...sekadar untuk berkongsi keindahan hutan peliharaan di sini...

so many big stones there..covered with moss...

most beautiful snap...I love it...

The last photo..aku ingat nak hantar utk photography competition yang dianjurkan FRIM..tarikh tutup dia 28 Feb 2011... tapi rasa cam tak boleh menang kot..maklumlah..I'm not very professional in photography...hmm, for those who are interest with this competition feel free to ask me about it...I've the competition form..cepat sebelum terlambat=)

Coming soon with another journey at Janda Baik...kuat betol aku jalan2..hehe..
