Tioman

The plane ride was not too bad. It was a Dash 7 with 4 propellers engines. Capacity is 48. The aircraft is noisy and the air pressure and air exchange in the cabin is not too good. I was tired after the ride both going in Tioman and coming home. There are 4 seats abreast. So there is an aisle seat as well as window. Coming into Tioman airport is quite exciting. The airport more like a landing strip and is situated right beside the hill. So the airplane banked steeply bank a couple of time and drop suddenly. It is a little scary looking out of the windows. The trees are so close and right beside you.

We have two days of meeting. My teammates arrived 8 hours ahead of me. So they had fun going for snorkeling. For work, it was motivating. We had a good Q1. We shared our objectives for the year and compared our EQ scores. Team spirits were strengthen. During dinners, we shared our personal stories. Having a young team mean another colleague and I were considered "outdated" in our thinking. The values of BGR (boy-girl relationship) has changed. Good thing is we have a young man in our team who still share our values. It is interesting. As I type out this blog, I just realise it is the men that are conservative. Women are more liberal or liberated nowadays!
