Teluk Batik Retreat.

This is a long overdue post, mostly due to the difficult acquisition of the photos taken, as we know UTP does not have the best Internet connection in the world, and yours truly do not have a Facebook account to ease the acquisition.

On the 13th of September 2009, after much trouble and postponement, the RACUTP outgoing and incoming committee finally got to have their retreat at Teluk Batik. It was nothing of much fanciness, but more like a pleasant, simple outing involving 13 people. There should have been more, but the others were held up with various activities, thus they only have to bear with having missed a fun trip forever.

As a simple one-day outing, the activities involved were ordinary and direct, but nonetheless fun. The group took off from V2 café in the morning after a slight delay, and, having missed breakfast, we first headed for lunch at Kampung Cina, where much bonding took place.

When delayed, hug.

At the restaurant,

Girly bonding


Gay Guy bonding


Sisterly bonding

Brotherly bonding

Bro-sis bonding


Manly bonding


Happy Javier bonding

Poo bonding


Late-comers bonding

(Not her) Handphone bonding


Indulge!

Let's watch the late-comers eat.

Next we were off to the beach at Teluk Batik, where some games were to be carried out. However, after the jocular ice-breaking, the brainstorming and discussion of plans and activities for all the different avenues took a little too long, and the time for games were cut. The one game that was carried out was enjoyment enough, though. The half an hour of free time at the beach afterwards was plenty of fun for banter and bonding too, what with the guitar, a horse, and some ice-cream.

Harvin, Devina, her ice-cream, and their white chocolate horse.

As it was still in the month of Ramadhan, we ‘broke our fast’ (although we had lunch) at McDonald’s at Setiawan, at which our group was so large, a special room had to be opened for us. Oh, what VIP treatment.

Afterwards was the highlight of the day (or night), as we went go-carting at Manjung Karting Circuit! Half of us were first-timers, but this sport/game is all about talent, and not for the weak.

“I never go-cart before, kind of nervous,” claimed the most worried first-timer, Ms. Sue Jane, who also turned out to be the champion of the night, racing neck-to-neck with the first runner-up, Ms. Xiao Ci, albeit after an accident.

Kuo Chun and Xiao Ci, the runner-up racers.
(champions ain't need no pictures)

Thus end the retreat. There was an after-activity for some of us, of course, but I’m not telling…

The people involved include:

• Timmy, yours truly
• Harvin
• Devina
• Xiao Ci
• Jasmitt
• Kong
• Jerry
• Javier
• Puven
• Sue Jane
• Jenny, the Project Director
• Kuo Chun, who came with
• Yoke Mun, who came late.

Oh, for you, the ones who missed it... regret it.
