A one day package trip in JB.

Itinerary: Go Kart + Lunch + Paintball + Justco Shopping + Dinner

Prelude

Managed to drag kw with me. Oh man, cant imagine the super difficulties in "jio-ing" jussssttttt one person to accompany me. Still remember the funniest yet practical excuse i ever heard from one friend when i ask him to join me. "No. scared pain." Haha. Classic reply from him.

Participants

This tour is booked full, a total of 42 people in one coach! People from all walks of life, a wide range of ages and a wide range of professions. We even got nurses and nutritionst on board! wow! But one thing i realise, the "older" people tend to be more sociable and humorous. unlike us. Haha.

Go Kart

It was just drive round the racing track. 1.3km long. 10 mins only though. The fun and challenging part is its steep curves and gradient slopes. (Which the tour guide says singapore dun have one). Can feel ur adrenaline rush when driving around bends! And its cheap! Rm35 for an extra round! Around Singapore 14 bucks! But note that the engine is quite strong and need to hold the steering wheel tightly. In short, after one round, u will sweat a lot. Now i know how come F1 racers tend to lose so much water...Imagine racing for a few hours.

Lunch / Dinner

Although its a restaurant with 7-8 course dinners, the portions are small. Imagine each person just take 1 piece of meat and teh plate is empty liao. Sad. (So budget sia...) The most intersting part is when we sat randonly at a table and then the tour guide tell us:" Hi all, the table you are sitting are in is your paintball group! Start intro and make friends!" And so the first group interaction starts. I enjoyed the dinner the most, not because the food is nice, but after the day's event, we start to know well more abt each other. Thats where all the jokes and fun conversations come in. :)

Paintball

Different from singapore, in terms of place settings. Still remember singapore one uses low concrete wall which was shaped like a maze. In short, u have to crounch and run from cover to cover while crounching. This one uses inflattable ballloons of different sizes as covers. Which was good. Some low, some very low, some high. It was a different experience. Like this paintball the most. ^^ Not only its fun, thats where all the talking and interaction took place. The excitement, the pain of being shot at, discussing strategies. . . It really was a good team building game! :)

Justco Shopping

By then, its already evening,. Was very tired. But the girls and ladies....still so energetic! haha. Got the big Harris bookstore for open browsing, big cheap supermarket, nice indian tibits, cheap sports stores, one nice green tea ice cream and the incredibably nice 茶叶蛋! haha.

Memory... is the diary that we all carry about with us.
