Olympics @ Damai Laut 08.08.08

I am catching up on posts of activities in the last few weeks in August. How time flies!

On Aug 08. 2008, the 2008 Olympics was officiated in Beijing. It was also the weekend where we went away for the Business Unit Meeting for my office. This was a 3 day event where we will have a day of team building, a day of community updates and some rests on the remaining time away from work. This year it was held at Damai Laut, Lumut.

The theme this year? Olympics of course! And we went for it, from all the "themed" sports with a twist to having screens to watch the opening ceremony to Olympic themed new hires performances. All in, fun and really in the spirit of sports, I had a great time doing not much, and enjoyed the best organised event ever, and watched a great team run this event as smooth as the militaristic Beijing did!

And, I won the Hookers Cup (our annual golf tournament) again this year for ladies champion...! (At the expense of a sore arm for a week due to over-golfing practice last minute).

A great weekend away.
