Staff Retreat/ Workshop @ Penang Rasa Sayang Shangri-La Resort

Someday in January 2012, my company has arranged a staff retreat aka workshop to Penang, Malaysia. Without knowing what it was the entire thing about, I packed my luggage happily and traveling excitedly....

Penang Bridge


While we were waiting to check-in, we got a very delicious welcome drink from their friendly hotel staff.


Once we entered our room....there was a lovely pressie being placed on our beds. I was quite impressed by their courtesy, making me feel like some VIP. *lol*




Overall, the room was clean and spacious. And a must mention about their pillow, it was so so so comfy!!! I had difficulty in wake-up every single morning during the entire workshop just bcoz of their comfy pillows!!!!




Very lucky, we got a corner room with a quite good view from our balcony.


On our way to an awesome dinner place....when I say AWESOME, it's really awesome!!

Awesome Dinner Venue
(about 5 mins walk)

After dinner, we composed a company song by presenting with dance performance. Although we did not win at the end of the competition, but it was a great experience and we had lotsa fun!




On the next day, we have to go back to the dumb dumb dull boring workshop. I and my fellow of colleagues, saw a few deck chairs nearby the beach. So, we decided to ....... spend time or maybe even more suitable term should be laidback over there.



Oh ya, btw, the Punch Juice from the breakfast was great. The content was so thick, it freshen me up right away!




Morning workshop, afternoon workshop, evening workshop....


During the end of the workshop, we were asked to create a Paper Plate Award to pre-selected colleague by the trainer. Rachel, my closet colleague in my company...but soon, she gonna be my ex-colleague. Sob sob.... :(




This was to show a token of appreciation to our colleagues.


Though it was quite tiring, but it beneficial to me. Not least, enjoyed during the entire trip besides the long-winded sessions. *Trollolollo*


Cheers.
