It's back to nature time again. This year was really packed. No time to organise with friends to go for an excursion into the rainforest. Chance came when I was selected as one of the organizing comittee cum facilitator for our section's Away Day. It's more really like an Away Weekend as it involved 2 days and 1 night. But for me and the rest of the comittee, it's a 3 days and 2 nights event where we went over one day earlier to prepare. Glad to be released from work and from the pesky clients.
Our destination is the Dusun Eco Resort, situated off the Karak Highway between Genting Highlands and Bukit Tinggi. Run by a government body, one must not really expect a really plush resort. Our purpose here was not to explore the jungle treks but to cultivate team work by making use of the facilities here which include an obstacle course, abseilling, suspension bridge, flying fox and raft building. But for me, it's still an holiday.
Most of my first day here is concerning ourselves with decorating and transforming a hall into a disco hall with a junglish setting. Equipped with deco materials that we had bought, unbelievable that we spend the entire morning and afternoon turning the hall into an impressive dancing hall with overhead vines with posing monkeys, tree trunks equipped with fern leaves interspersed by other creeps and savannah grasses lining the stage with pots of yellow flowers. The evening was spent checking out the locations which includes the suspension bridge and the obstacle course.
