Bukit Jawi Golf Resort

Whoever planned to have the data management course for Kedah Data teachers deserved a salute. Bukit Jawi Golf Resort is an idyllic, tranquil, serene location amidst oil palm estate right in the middle of no where! They kept us in the conference room for 4 days and 3 nights doing our school's database by building queries and creating tables. We hardly left the resort - besides there was just no where to go - from 8:00am when we started by turning on our laptops until 10:30pm which sometimes extended until 11:00pm. Right up to the last day before the closing ceremony which was supposed to be at noon extended till 1:00pm. It was very intensive, tiring, neck-aching (what with the ultra hard mattress) but worth the weekend since I managed to complete my database. The breaks for food was welcomed and in the evening where the break was longer, some of the men teachers jumped into the swimming pool or we went for a walk around the vicinity. I loved it and enjoyed it because I got to be among like-minded people whose main goal was to complete the database. I had not had so much fun and just be myself - happy, carefree and basking in the warmth and kindness of human nature. What with being pampered with good food, great company ... it was hard to face reality again. :-)

The view in its glorious green colour - soothing after a few hours of data work...
