the next day, i had to wake up before 7am. but was instantly refreshed when i pulled apart the curtains to see the morning sky.
after buffet breakfast (again), the 3 of us headed down to the beach to prepare our version of team-building games. beach style! (not much photos despite bringing satio baby. was too busy!)
1) jigsaw puzzle. we buried the pieces in the sand. first team to find, complete the puzzle, and bring to the finishing line wins. as both teams finished around the same time, it was up to them to play dirty. we saw CH wrestle vict, who was holding the completed puzzle, to the ground. and Hel tried to snatch it out from 媽's hands. lol.
2) dog-and-bone. started off with the standard game, which soon became rugby, and ended up with a 疊羅漢. ROFL.
3) this game was just madness. we stuck colored flags on 2 sides, and each team had to snatch as many flags as possible from the opposite side, as well as defend against the other team doing the same. we planned to time the game 10 mins and see which team had more flags. guess what? all the flags were snatched up within 5 mins. can you imagine how rough they were?!
4) we made each team dig a hole in the sand, and have one member stand inside. then we gave them toilet paper, and had them wrap their mummies till they were fully covered.
they then had some time to decorate their mummies! super super funny and all of us were laughing so hard!
5) water guns were distributed. each team had to shoot the other team's mummy and protect their own from the other team. first mummy to have the paper all gone, loses.
6) 2 containers of drinking water, mixed with rose syrup, and chilli padis floating inside each container. each team member had to take turns running up and picking out one padi using their mouth. first team to finish fishing all 20 padis wins. lucky i wasn't playing this game. pretty gross lah! hahas.
loser team forfeited by munching on the chilli padis. lols. you be the judge. which one more fun? ours right?! we can be professional game organizers leh! whahaha~! ^^
after which, we all went back to wash up and get ready for lunch. we had teppanyaki! but not nice one.
only these 3 dishes, complete with rice, miso soup and pickles. so not worth!
me, 媽 and 親愛的 went for our spa massage shortly after that. and we saw monkeys!
lols. spa was pretty relaxing. but i felt she didn't exactly massage properly. my shoulder hurt like mad while i felt she didn't press hard enough for the rest of my body. and my shoulder is still aching now. -_-
made our way to the jetty and home sweet home after that. 8)

as you probably know, i went for a 2D1N trip to desaru over the weekend as a company trip. pretty cheapo i know, but i had fun. it was very exhausting though. especially the first day, where i had to wake up at 520am in order to reach the jetty by 9am. tsk.
we set off from changi ferry terminal at 10am.
we all took the deck area as we didn't know the ferry had a lower airconditioned seating area. sun was scorching hot but the wind made it better. and all of us started slapping on sunblock once we were seated. lol.
40 mins later, we reached the malaysian side jetty. we were bused down to another jetty nearby. which looked like...
yeah. turned out we had to take a small boat out to this floating kelong restaurant for lunch.
the whole thing is made floating by barrels and barrels of compressed air, so every large movement actually made the whole thing rock. the wooden floorboards didn't exactly look very safe as well. by the time we were done with lunch, my head was kinda spinning already. the seafood lunch was also so-so nia. not very fresh imho.
after that, we returned to the jetty to find the hotel van waiting to pick us up. 25 mins later, we reached our hotel The Pulai Desaru Beach.
very 'beach resort' feel lor. hahas. i think it should be my first time at this kind of resorts, since i'm not really a fan of the sun. pretty relaxing i must admit. :D
upon checking in, i found out we managed to get the corner room, so it was slightly bigger than the rest. 親愛的 was supposed to join me and 媽 since it could accomodate 3 people, but su wasn't pleased at being left alone. so 親愛的 had to move back. tsk.
rested for awhile before assembling again for our games. these were planned by the hotel, so we 3 organizers had to play as well. it was something like the amazing race, with 2 groups racing to complete the 8 tasks first. (no photos cos i didn't dare to bring satio baby down.)
1. raft-building. i was initially pretty confident about our team since we had vict and he's an army commando. but...not much use i feel. lols! i tried to remember whatever i learnt back then in npcc and tried to put it to use. we were given 30 mins and at the end of it, ours looked so shipwrecked while the other team's looked so sturdy. -_- 2 members also had to paddle the 'raft' across the pool. obviously the other team won. lol. but this was hilarious.
2. we had to take turns running on the pebble path. PAINFUL~!
3. bowling - with bottles filled with sand as pins and a coconut as the bowling ball.
4. climbed a tree to retrieve a flag. i didn't know CH could climb trees. hmmmm.
5. search for a flag on a big tree. flag was hidden high up. CH climbed tree again.
6. we had to play some musical instruments until the gamemaster was satisfied.
7. find a particular person, which after some time, we realized was actually the organizer himself. tsk.
8. jigsaw puzzle.
due to the failure of our raft-building right at the beginning, the other team had a huge headstart and won in the end. but honestly, even though the hotel arranged so many games, they were all so lame, except for the raft-building perhaps. (you'll see why they're lame when you compare OUR games with theirs.) but i liked the running here and there. =]
we were given some time to rest and freshen up before dinner, but me and 媽 chose to walk down to the beach instead.
stood there for 15 mins just letting the waves crash against our legs. i love the feeling of sea breeze on my face and sand underneath my feet.
and had 'candlelight' buffet dinner.
so so tired and sleepy afterwards, but couldn't resist when D tempted me with a game of pool. i got 師父 liao! lol. at first it was only me and him. very fun. soon the other guys joined and i felt rather weird with so many guys and me the only gal. thus didn't play much after that. went back and settled for the night.
riiiighht. day 2 is much more interesting and funny i would say. but i'm beat. so i'll continue tomorrow probably. =]
