8 Acres

Wohooo...its been a tiring weekend for me..I just got back from 8 Acres..hurm ya want to know what that is?? Wokeyh..8 Acres is a place where we've been put for 3 days to have some sort of team building..This was organized by The Jungle People. It is situated in Raub, Pahang..Took us bout 3 hours to get there or probably less. We left KL at about 8 o'clock since some of the guys were late..urghhh..Reaching Raub town at about 11 something..Along the way, I just slept as I havent sleep well before the day..

So, after got off the bus, we need to take the 4 wheel drive to 8 Acres..It took us 20 minutes drive.

Reaching there, i saw this beautiful house in the middle of the "dusun"..hihi..I haven't got the opportunity to take the photo but here it is..

Here is where we have our activities,meals and some of us were staying here too on the second floor.Some of us were sleeping in the tent outside this beautiful house. Some thoughts in mind is to have a beautiful house like this someday..Nice..

On the first day we, after having our breakfast, we had this ice breaking session..where we need to get in groups and introduce our friends.The best part was we need to replace the song they gave us to each of the members name..You know what song did our group get? Burung Kakak Tua...it was really funny when we need to change the Burung Kakak Tua to our names..And the lyrics goes like this Burung Faizal Tua..ha ha ha..everybody had a good laugh when we present the group song..ha ha ha..Luckily my name was put into the Eddy di Jendela..ha ha ha..

The best thing for me when i reached there was..I got the chance to meet Paul and Emily from the jungle people again..I was with them when I had my team building in Hutan Belum..Luckily she remembered me well..ha ha..and Paul does'nt change a bit..I tot of seeing Kelvin there but he was in Bali..

Uncle Kam, the Resort Manager had us on tour throughout 8 Acres. Got to see some of the good things there also..Then had some free time and in the evening got some talk with Uncle Kam..Seems to be a nice guy..he told me all bout his younger years story..

Then after dinner we had this activity such as Humans Conveyer Belt..can u just imagine we need to transport a 110kg participants from one end to another using our hands..dem..he was huge ..ha ha..then recapping of the day activities.Went to sleep at about 12.30a.m.The generator was switch off at 1.00 a.m..

The second day was a bit tiring for me and the team..We did some outdoor activities..Human Web..bla bla bla..perghh..this time we need to place human being from one side to another by passing them through the web..Seriously..you know how burden it was to transport weighty humans..arghhhh..but everything went well.

Then the HOD came at about 11 something..and after lunch we had this CEO presentations for the 4th quarter achievements..Great to see that Bukit Raja is in 6th position of all the 13th locations..good huh..

Then some outdoor activities going on and we had some free time in the evening. Went for "mandi sungai" nearby..some sort of mini waterfall..

Then at night we had some activities as well and got the chance to see the recorded video that the Jungle Poeple took during the activities..

Everyone was concentrating on the Video until there was a BOOOOOMMMM..ha ha..There was a little visitor that got into the house.. A little baby snake got into the house babe..Seriously everyone was so shocked until one of us broke the glass door...ha ha ha..Luckily Paul did quite a fast action by taking control of the situation..Fuhhhh..Later that evening there were some contractors found a Cobra somewhere near the constructions areas.They chopped the head and I think that what brought the snakes into the house..woohooo...

Then it was a freetime from everybody..some massaging going on..I need to massage 6 people..ha ha..naik cramp tangan aku..But its a good thing though..my mucles have been pumped up..ha ha..

Went to bed quite late..about 1 a.m..had a chit chatting with one of my colleague..Some heart to heart problems solving..hihihii

The next day was the day we left 8 acres..it was really fun but a bit sad that need have to leave such a beautiful and calm place..

Emily personally met me before we left and she did gave me a hug..ha ha..Old friend old friend..

After all..this activities brought us together actually..got to know each other better and hopefully some of us did get some lessons in this 3 days.

For me, I am absolutely enjoy and would be greatful to have the Jungle People again..

They inspired me as well..

We left 8 Acres at about 2 something and reached KL at 5p.m..It is good to be back to this crazy town..And some lessons learned shoud be then implemented in life and the work place..
