the rahul kulkarni blog: Team building trip to Thisle resort (Port Dickson, Malaysia)

Spent the weekend of 3rd/4th Sep at Thisle resort (Port Dickson, Malaysia) to attend my company's combined team building exercise along with our Malaysia colleagues.

From Singapore , we started early morning on 3rd Sep in 3 coaches and it took for us more than 6 hours to reach there which I think is quite normal considering the long weekend queues at both the Singapore and Malaysia immigration checkpoints. Then there were a few hiccups like the automated immigration clearance at Tuas checkpoint failing for atleast 3 of our colleagues who had to go though the agony of joining manual clearance queue all over again!

After having reached the Thisle resort by 1.30 pm , took our lunch first followed by the check-in formalities.

The team building games started soon after , for which all were split into 6 groups each representing a color ! The 5 games which each team had to play were fun packed and indeed tested the endurance and team building capabilities of every team/individual.Later that evening prizes were given away when we were treated to a fantastic BBQ dinner at the resort lawns.

Since I slept early that night , woke up early the next morning with intention of an early morning jog on the beach ........only to realise that it won't be possible because of a high tide!

Then , satisfied this urge by jogging at the resort golf course as there were no golfers around !!

After the multi-cuisine breakfast , started for Singapore at around 11.00 am. It was decided to give a miss to Seramban lunch/shopping visit as per the original itinerary , as everyone wanted to reach home early without getting stuck at the long immigration queues.
