“I never had a dream come true… until the day that…..
…
…
…
That all these people accompanied me to take a banana boat ride at Port Dickson!”
Yeah! Dream came true!
Haha! It’s been my dream to take the banana boat ride since childhood…
In consequence of going for an excursion with a bunch of colleagues consist of engineers by the profession; we tended to make the planning of the trip way too “formal”…
Colleagues!
I smiled when I received the below sms when our first attempt to organize the trip turned out to be a flop:-

But I was really keen on taking the boat ride! Luckily the 2nd attempt in organizing succeeded.
On 2nd attempt to organize the trip: emailsSs were exchanged, all the thoughts and planning were put in an excel file, with revision numbers somemore
Casey: You people crazy, one day trip also so crazily planned!
When the day had finally come (19 Jan 2008), just as asserted by Murphy’s Law, anything that can go wrong, just went wrong! Casey was so disappointed with the planning! Haha!
Firstly, the warung forgot about the mee hoon goreng which I had placed order! Half an hour wasted there to wait for the mee hoon.
Then, it was a gridlock when we were on our way to pick Kee Yew up, another half an hour gone. So in total, I was an hour late!
To add to my gan-jeong-ness, look at the clouds above us!
Alamak! Raining at this time???? Luckily the rain stopped just in time when we reached PD.
Next, when altogether 5 cars were somewhere along the beach, miscommunication took place that we could not meet up! When someone gives you the similar instruction as follows, do you think you still can find your way?
A: How to reach where you are now?
B: Well, you go all the way straight, when you reach the third greenest tree on your left, turn right. Keep going and turn right in front of a nice apartment!
And to make thing worse, I saw this sign at the beach: NO BURNING AND CAMP FIRE ALONG THE BEACH! So my BBQ how?
But we managed to find a loophole in that statement: we had our BBQ in STOVE and AWAY FROM THE BEACH!
Introducing, THE PHOTO OF THE TRIP! He just fell asleep at the beach like that… and with him lying there like a log, he frightened the kids!
He slipped and fell on the slippery jetty twice (or thrice?) and finally learnt his lesson: walked in bow to increase stability
Poor casey… outcome of his fall at the jetty
For Gxmxdx! Share price goes up to RM6.50!!!!
Mr. Tan with his hasil tangkapan: a squid!
A happy soul! Got to share our BBQ food
Auntie J and Chen!
It’s really nice to have Auntie J for the trip: he did most of the work!
Proof: The rest just LOOKED at him doing the cleaning work…
Pak tor ke ni?
