Pirates!

Pirates was the theme of the company's dnd. In conjunction with the theme, there was a treasure hunt in the afternoon prior to the dinner. My team was out to win. We tried very very hard and ran very very hard too. It was a close race to the finish (for second place cos the first team had completed the race in record time). Three teams (including us) were at the last checkpoint.What a nail-biting moment! We had to finish the crossword puzzle and solved the riddle. All three teams solved it at the same moment and started to run to the checkpoint. The beachtram happened to be some distance in front and all the teams ran for their life, to hitch a ride. All three teams made it on board. When the tram stopped, all the three teams jumped off and dashed to the finishing line. I thought there was no hope liao since team 2 had slowed down and started walking. I started to walk too. But YH did not give up and had reached the finishing line. She ran back to tell us there was still a chance. By then, it was too late. Team 2 had beaten us. It appeared that team 1 was short of one member and could not be declared the winner. Sigh, we should have run faster. Moral of the story is: Do not give up hope, fight till the last min.

Was lookin forward to the buffet dinner by rasa sentosa. Supposed to b quite ex. The food was not that fantastic. But the ambience was good. Lovely sunset view by the sea. Like my ideal beach wedding. Aaaaah. A few of my colleagues had dressed up as pirates. So sporting. Most of the people were just beachy-looking. As usual, i did not win anything at the lucky draw. Just not so lucky. Sigh.

We then adjourned to km8 near tanjung beach. another disappointment. cos the club deejay was off. only chill-out music available. so sedate and totally unhappening. cannot dance. sad. wanna chong leh.

Back at the chalet, the guys had conked out. Due to the massive effort put forth at winning the race in the afternoon. The girls did not do much either. Watched a bit of tv and slept (sardines style on the bed). There were five of us. This was a chalet where i did not stay up all nite and eat titbits. Cos everyone was too tired liao. Next time perhaps.....
