I Had A Great Retreat! – Part I

Yes, I am back from my corporate retreat!!!! =D

I’ve had the most amazing 3D2N at Bintan and it was a retreat that I have much to thank God for. Due to the nature of my organization, we had sessions of prayers and the sharing of God’s Word, which really strengthened my faith and love for my supervisors and bosses. It was a great time of bonding for everyone, and of course, loads and loads of laughter & fun. :)

Along with us, we brought a troupe of Children’s Church workers as well as nursery workers, who took such good care of our kids during all the sessions, that the parents could enjoy every session at ease and without having to juggle the taking care of the kids. I was so blessed by the arrangement! I could not control my smiles when I saw that the workers who went along with us were the very ones that my kids were familiar with! I knew they would have no problem enjoying themselves in the children care area.

We had so many children on the trip, and it was a real happy gathering for everyone. At the Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal, the kids were already getting to know each other!

We chartered a private ferry, so it was very fun onboard. You would see adults gathering in groups chit chatting, and parents strolling with their toddlers because they could not sit still in their seats. It was very carefree indeed as we had the whole ferry to ourselves! =D

These 2 Aunties are the ones who take care of Jayne when she was in the office nursery. I was so happy to see that they were going to take care of her at the retreat!!!! *phew*

This is my 2nd time staying at Bintan Lagoon Resort, and the previous time, I was staying at the private villa with some friends. This time round, we booked the main hotel rooms, and I must say that I was very, very happy with the rooms!

Is this cool or what?

Yes, there is even a tatami bed (the size of a queen size bed) next to our king sized bed! It was good for watching TV or as an additional bed! It was comfy!

Flat screen TV on a very bright orange wall. I love the vibrant decor!

Even the wardrobe knobs were classy. :)

The room also had a nice balcony, with 2 chairs and a table. Perfect for some hot tea at night or light breakfast in the morning. =)
