Integricity Goes to Pangkor!

Posted on 13/03/2012 by Melissa Lai

The old farts tell me it’s been more than a couple of years since the last Integricity retreat. Previous retreats were always department-specific, so this year’s combined retreat was a real treat for newbies and old-bies alike!

We started the retreat by doing the impossible: getting the whole team up by 6.30a.m., just in time to leave PJ at 7 a.m. It’s surprising that we managed it because some of us are most definitely night owls. Nevertheless, the entire team made it to the jetty in time for our 11 a.m. private ferry to Pangkor Laut Resort!

Digital through and through, we held onto our smartphones tightly throughout the boat ride. Most everybody tweeted, Facebook-ed and Instagram-ed in excitement as we approached the gorgeous resort.

As you may notice from the picture below, it doesn’t take much to amuse and fascinate us. Taking photos of lunch is also preferred to actually eating lunch.

The Visuals team were on a break, so the Tech bosses took over. Disclaimer: No lunches were left untouched in the taking of this photograph.

Our To-Dos for the weekend:

- Wake up. Eat breakfast. Chill the day away.

- Eat dinner as a company.

- Chill and sleep.

- Rinse and repeat.

Another must-do for some of us: the Spa Village. We hear that it’s one of the best spas in the world. Having experienced it for ourselves, it most definitely is!

We also did some jungle trekking …

… all the way to the beach.

On Sunday, our last day, we had a time of devotion with our Christian colleagues. We shared and encouraged each other as colleagues, as well as brothers and sisters in Christ.

Time flew by so quickly! 3 days and 2 nights were definitely not enough. All of us agreed that the service at Pangkor Laut Resort was excellent, and we had a blast. Plus, friendships were made and strengthened, inside jokes were stored up, and now we’re all ready to give 2012 our best shot.
