IEM G&S -YES retreat!!!

Here is our IEM YES retreat at Port Dickson Beach….

Yes, it is 8 & 9 September 2007 IEM YES retreat gathering. (There is a deal between us that who are using “IEM G&S” instead of “IEM YES”, have to pay RM1.00 as punishment, and Chau Fong is the first one who get punished since he is the first to give speech during our IEM YES KRA/KPI presentation. Haha.)

Firstly, have to introduce our two new IEM YES volunteer from UM and Alstorm – Chi Hoe and Jin Kiat.

After short self-introduction and IEM YES presentation, we prepare ourself for dinner. The food stall has quite nice food (But it might just because we all have waited too long for the food). The bad is some flies keep flying above our dishes when we are eating. Yucks *-*

After dinner, guys go out to enjoy their Saturday night and girls stay in apartment watching television and zzzZZZ….

The next morning, nasi lemak and then… 1, 2, 3, 4 one more time 1, 2, 3, 4. Let’s warm up.

We first play volley ball in two teams. And then we play futsal. That is the first time I realize that how hard it can be playing futsal on sand. The final game is guy team VS (girl + 1 guy helper) team. Guess which team is the winner? Anyway, we all have our prize. One ice-cream. Yeah.

Come to Port Dickson, how can we forget to swim? And we are not only swimming, but also jumping, throwing, yelling… There is a lot of fun this morning.

Overall, I’m really having a good time. Hopefully more will join us next time. See ya.

Moment of Glory...



The goal is not to emerge as champion but to be an eye opener to everyone.
It is definitely to build our own image as Young Engineers Section (YES!)

"...The big question is whether you're going going to give a big hearty YES! to your adventure..."
-Joseph Campbell


Though we did not emerge as the champion, but somehow or rather we are proud to finish at the third placing.
