Company Trip to Pangkor Island 2012

A company trip to Pangkor Island recently was absolutely a fantastic experienced.

I also would like to take this opportunity to recommend Pangkor Island to friends and family as it was simply relaxing and perfect for those who would like to rejuvenate and chill themselves out from hectic life.

To those who weren’t able to join us on that trip, I hope you will enjoy this blog and I m sure all of you are keen to know what exactly we did there during our 3D2N trip…

Let’s roll the camera on to an enjoyable short chronological story from us during our trip to the beautiful island.

Getting to Pangkor on 17^th Nov

We started our journey as early as 7.30 in the morning. A journey to Pangkor Island took about 3 hours drive by bus from Kuala Lumpur.

10:30 am - Exit Bidor highway and continue our journey. The road condition here is quite decent, cuts across cool and scenic oil palm plantations.

12:10 – 1.20pm - We stopped at Kampung Cina Seafood Restaurant for a group Lunch before continues our journey to Lumut. The food was delicious and cheap too!

 2:00pm: Arrived at Lumut Jetty. The ferry ride from Lumut Jetty to the island took about 30 minutes.

We really enjoyed the strong wind and the open sea panorama. Getting on to the open deck ferry will always be the right choice. Let’s see why…

2:30 pm - Arrived at Pangkor Island Jetty

We hopped on to a mini bus which drove us straight to the Pangkor Island Beach Resort (PIBR).

The eye-soothing view of the greenery along the way to the resort had made us felt so tranquil and relaxing. Seems like it is going to be a “heaven” in here J

The superb staffs had even made us felt so welcome. Not only us but all of the visitors who arrived at PIBR will be amazed with the services here.

We were greeted by a group of singers, Mr Panda and a welcome drinks to quench our thirst.

Without much delayed, we gathered ourselves at Hotel Lounge for the 10 minutes Safety Briefing followed by luggage collection and checked in to our designated room.

Even though the rooms looked a little bit older but overall it was clean, cozy and well maintained by the resort.

3:30pm – 6:00pm - We have only few hours more for the most anticipated night, therefore it’s time to get ourselves a nap, refreshed and getting ready for it.

R &R Night – Theme : Masquerade & Men In Black

This year we have chosen “Masquerade” & “Men In Black” as our Rewards & Recognition Night’s theme and the tagline is “Life begins when you believe in change”.

Registration and photo shooting session started as early as 5.30pm.

All of the staffs dressed elegantly in their gowns and suits with glittering masks and shining black spectacles as compulsory accessories on that night.

The ballroom decoration was simple, classy and elegant J

Without further ado, committee members kicked off the night by welcoming all the ESSB Staff to “Masquerade Night 2012” with a big round of applause from everyone of us.

Lets have a look on what we have got for you during the night.

While enjoying the food, we have been announced with the next most important agenda of the night, that was Rewards and Recognition session.

Day 2 on 18^th Dec 2012

Around 10:00 am:  We had our first day breakfast here in Hornbill Restaurant.

As soon as we’ve done with our morning breakfast, we proceed to the beach side for the games and activity.

Ang pows were hidden randomly all over under the sands and it will be our duties to dig for the keywords.

It was indeed looks simple, however it required us to use maximum energy that we had for the sand digging.

In the other words, we have to go all out for the game!

With all the keywords collected, we were now ready to build our sand castle and here is the results.

Winner for Sand Castle Building competition goes to Team 3 and the runner up goes to Team 4

They received hampers filled with all sorts of goodies which they shared amongst themselves.

In the evening, we hanging out in a team and took part in beach volleyball & futsal.

Others with pool volleyball, chilling around enjoying the view and the sea breezes and for myself, I’m waiting for the most scenic view from the sea that was “sunset time”. 

Enjoy some of the photos taken J

Day 3 on 19^th Dec

9:30-11:30 – Today will be our last day on the Island. We had our breakfast and make full use of the remaining hours in the island to snap some photos.

Some shots with the Hornbills, around the island and hotel facilities.

Around 12:00pm, we assemble ourselves at the Lobby for departure to Jetty.

The journey by boat from island to Jetty took about 30 minutes.

Even though we felt the tiredness after we left the resort but deep in our heart, it will be a memory that shall not be forgotten.

We had spent a great time together as a team therefore very much looking forward to create another history again next year

See you..

PTES - Charity Event

Greetings from PT. Elabram Systems (PTES), Indonesia.

It has always been a culture for us in Elabram Systems and its branches for its “do good” activity. As we are moving towards to another meaningful year, we had successfully fulfilled and accomplished another greatest commitment by giving back to society.

This charity event was held on 1^st November 2012 at Panti Asuhan Yatim Piatu Muslimin Jaya, Indonesia to make a difference for the lives of underprivileged from the homes.

We started the charity event with short speeches from our Managing Director, Mr. Mikel Yaw and followed by our Technical Director, Mr Sunny Yaw. They gave some inspirational advice to the children on the importance of study hard and get good grades for a brighter future.

Next, we invited Bapak Haji Muh. Saman Husni, the owner of the orphanage home to gave us some speech. He was so thankful for our visits and donations and wished PT. Elabram Systems a continuous success for its future business undertakings.

As soon as the speeches ended, we distributed the snack boxes to the children. I could see a sparks that glowed from the children’s face and I knew that it was somehow the utterly happy feeling in them.

With the blend of beautiful voices and harmonic acoustic guitar sounds, we just love and enjoyed the atmosphere of being together when the children from the home sing along with us.

Mr. Mikel Yaw mesmerized the homes with his wonderful performance.

Due to limited space in the home, some of the staffs have to sit and waited outside the home. 

Last but not least, the children queuing up to get ‘uang amplop’ from our Directors and Managers.

We’re looking forward in organizing more charity event next year because ‘We care, We do, We act’.

Thanks to all for making this happened.

See you soon!
