Eagle Ranch, Port Dickson

Two weeks back, my company organised a team building event in Eagle Ranch, Port Dickson. I heard about this exciting place before but have never been there. This resort is located about 30 minutes from the Port Dickson town. Upon reaching this resort, you sort of feel like you are a cowboy or a cowgirl because of the name and design of the whole resort.


Some of my colleagues stayed in this Paddock Chalet which is rather smaller as compared to mine..



The Log Cabin..


Inside view of the log cabin.



The coolest part of the log cabin is the bathroom. There is no roof in the bathroom and there is a mini waterfall. Look up while you are bathing, the birds or monkeys might be watching over you

At Eagle Ranch, they have go-kart as well. If I am not wrong, it's about 5 laps for RM20. I learnt how to DRIFT and it was damn freaking fun.



As for team building, we went through 20 obstacle courses. At the end of the obstacle courses, most of them were complaining of OVER EXERCISING in an hour plus compared to the number of times that they exercise in a year or few months.


We went for sea rafting as well. Built our own raft and sail out 50-100m to the sea and get our flag. The team who returns first wins.



Which was obviously my team because I can paddle as fast as a boat's engine. =_="



By evening, everyone was freaking exhausted but we really had a good BBQ dinner and few rounds of Happy Hour. Beers and beers and beers.

The next day, the word "revenge", "pay back time", "you are going to be so dead" are on everybody's mind because it's PAINTBALL time and we are allowed to aim and hunt for the managers, directors and seniors who gave us a horrible time at work. Oh well, some managers and alot of girls did not participate in the game.


Potential hero

In this game, 2 teams will compete against each other to snatch the flag. Whoever gets the flag first and run back to the base with the flag wins. Whoever gets shot must raise their hand and run back to the base to get a "new life" and the dead can play again. LOL


Our base with 3 guys and 5 girls in the team.

In total, there were 4 teams. My team managed to get into the final and won the whole damn thing. It was a tiring game especially when you get shot all the time and had to run back to the base to start all over again. Ultimately, the highlight of the game was me getting a real HEADSHOT



On the way leaving Eagle Ranch, I was stopped by a policeman for overtaking a car illegally. As the policeman is heading towards my car, I told my colleague to act as if we are rushing to the hospital because of my injury.

Policeman: Selamat tengahari, boss!

Stephen: Eh..I overtake kereta tu sebab saya nak pergi klinik la..Saya kena tembak dekat kepala!! (Showing him my injury)

Policeman: Huh? Serious-nyaaaaaa!! Kenapa orang dekat Eagle Ranch tak hantar you pergi hospital?

Stephen: Mereka tak cukup staff laaaaa. Friend, sakit ni..nak pergi klinik cepat.

Policeman: Tunjuk IC dan lesen dulu.

Stephen: (Gave him IC and Driving license)

Policeman: Apa pasal tak pergi hospital? Klinik jauh la..dekat town. Hospital depan saja..you jalan terus, hospital ada dekat kanan nanti. Cepat pergi

Stephen: Baik boss. Byebye.

Happily drove pass the hospital and head back to Kuala Lumpur. ;-)
