We were given 20 days to map this out for the entire “Elite Drivers” group and their family members to kick back and enjoy this retreat. Elite Drivers are people that work under the umbrella of GRAB Co and have performed outstandingly throughout the whole year with major drive counts. This trip was designed for them to relax, enjoy and have fun with their family members thus building relationships with other Elite Drivers alongside their families.
We flagged-off for this getaway from the GRAB Co headquarters in Petaling Jaya at 12.30pm. There were a handful of 70 people involved and we chartered 2 buses to accommodate all. The drive took one and a half hours to reach our retreat destination. Upon arrival everyone was in the mood, welcome drinks were served, the guest’s and their family members were checked in to their respective rooms.
There was a free and easy time schedule to let everyone settle in and relax before we had our BBQ dinner. This is when the Ice Cream Events crew alongside the client Mr. Dylan headed out for fishing by the river. If you were thinking that we caught a bucket full of fish for the BBQ dinner, you’ve guessed wrong! River fishing is very challenging and if you wonder why, there are actually a few reasons. One of them we encountered was that the bottom was very rocky and the fishing line, hook and bait got stuck easily and we had to cut the line to retrieve it back and start all over again. This kept on happening to us and we wasted a lot of hooks and weights. One thing is for sure, we did our level best and ended up with no fish in the end but smiling all the way back to our rooms thinking how to get it right the next time. There was a scrumptious dinner served that night with good vibes everywhere and the drivers we mingling, talking, laughing and some were even in the mood for karaoke session.
The event managed in Malaysia at Waterway Villa, Bentong was indeed a calm and relaxing venue chosen for the client. The second day before we went back, everyone was involved in animal visiting + feeding and also a trip around the huge farm that had fruits, vegetables & lots of Bentong ginger!
The Elite Drives and their families had a lot of fun, we all had lunch and a group photo before we went back to the GRAB Co headquarters by bus to end the 2 days 1 night relaxing trip.
We are really looking forward to the next one, and this time with more hooks and baits for our river fishing outing if there is.
Once again signing-out, your cool Event Planners in KL.
