Borneo Balut International Challenge @ Manukan Island Resort

Dated September 18th, 2009.

Syabas Team!!
This was one of our best function this year..
Honestly, I was worried and could not sleep the night before.. not the set up or lunch arrangement that i was worried about but the gen set.  Thank God, the gen set worked well throughout the event.

There were 100 participants representing 19 countries from Europe for the challenge.  Most participants are expats from Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore and other countries in Asia.  Some of them speaks good Malay, Madarin, Thai and other languages too... surprise!!

Everyone from Balut especially the organizer Bent, Ernest, Paul and Ian were so impressed with the set up and services extended to their group.  They were impressed overall.. :o)   Thanks to SSL Team!!  Belows are pictures taken before, during and after this event.  Enjoy..

As a team we can do it... :o)

Manukan Island Resort - A place for all..

Many people have negative perception on this beautiful island mainly because they have heard (rumors) it's over priced and the services provided and facilities are just so so... Well, I always trust the pricing is on par and is value for money with the facilities and services provided. One must try before they can judge..:o)

Be it an overnight trip or just a day trip at the island... you will surely have a memoriable trip out there..

I always like organising and coordinating functions and events at the island.. most probably because I love nature and beaches always gave me a feeling of exotic and 'back to nature' kind of feeling.. Nothing to shout about the facilities and equipments used as all are very basic and we (our team at Island) usually have to be extremely creative and innovative to set up those functions.. and most of the times turned out to be 'WOW' by our guests..:o)

Apart from being an exotic honeymoon and getaway destination, many wedding receptions, corporate theme functions, team building activities outings and others .. were successfully organised at this beautiful island....

To Kaycee

Thank God for bringing us together..

Thank you for loving me for who I am - the Mee Sheah.

Thank you for understanding me - the Mee Sheah who is always in the move and run and sometimes quite emotional..:o(

Thank you for your guidance in many things - to have a relationship with God (heheh... knowing how to pray to God), to live and always be a happy person and never expect others to treat you the way you treated them.. never get angry with anyone. If really angry make sure the anger is gone before sunset..(that's what i leant yesterday or else I will be a murderer)... and many many more.. heheh..

You are always with me even though you are not physically with me but I know..

We shared many things together - Your short vacation in KK was a good one..We both know that we are building this relationship to another stage.. :o)

I treasure our relationship and you are my best friend too.. :o)

I will always pray for you..

I love you Sayang..
