TECHNIP's Annual Dinner @ Grand Lexis

The management at the office dad works in had arranged for an annual dinner at Grand Lexis Resort in Port Dickson for the entire Electrical Department staffs where everyone is allowed to bring their family. It was a 2 days and 1 night trip. Despite the short time, the four of us decided to have fun as much as we can like we always do.

As usual, dad drove us from our house to the destination. It took us several hours though to reach as we missed the road to the location. After long drive, we reached at the hotel where we have to register and will be given the key to our chalet. At the hotel lobby, dad gathered with his colleagues and introduced us. They were so friendly and the jovial type. Then, our ride was a golf cart that brought us straight to the doorstep of our chalet. I was so moved by their hospitality and excited too as it was my first time riding on a golf cart.

The fascinating part of it all was that, the chalet was built right above the sea. As we entered the chalet, I literally was jumping up and down in complete excitement. There was a solid glass panel on the floor in the middle of the room allowing us to view the sea below. The best part of all was that, each unit of the chalet came with A PRIVATE POOL! How cool does that sound? My brother and I were going crazy seeing it all. My brother and I changed quickly into our shirt and pants and got into the pool right away being the crazies we were.

Solid glass panel that allows us to SEE THE SEA! :p lol 

My brother and I were BUSY! :D 

We swam for hours and even before we knew it was evening already which means, IT'S DINNER TIME! So we got into our respective attires and waited for the cart to come and fetch us again. My dad's colleagues were all so wonderful and humble despite the positions they were in. I was much privileged to have met them all. They had door gifts, lucky draw and singing and dancing sessions along with tons of food. And after the dinner was over, we were so full that we could barely walk to the lobby. I think we would have crawled if we were to walk back to the chalet after all those good foods. Thank god there was a golf cart that brought us back safe and sound. 

It was taken several years back! My baby brother is tall and skinny now! :( 

Upon returning back to the room, my brother and I did not settle down! Instead, we went on a second round of swimming. We made use of it as much as we could so that we would not have any regrets when we leave the place! 

It was past midnight and we were yet swimming as it’s a private pool and you will not be questioned. It was nearly 1.30 in the morning before my brother and I decided that we had enough of swimming. We were happy and exhausted at the same time. We went to bed around 2 a.m. after changing and were quite upset with the fact that we had to leave in the afternoon.

We got up at 7 a.m. for a buffet breakfast and again had a good eating time with the breakfast served by the hotel. At 12pm, we checked out of the hotel, saying bye to the place where we had built another bundles of memory.
