After working for one year and 6 months, I finally got the chance to go for a company trip, fully sponsored!. It was a 3 days, 2 night in Club Med, Cherating. Even though it is not a trip to an international country, Club Med Cherating is an international tourist spot so it was pretty cool. The trip was on 24 - 26 Jan 2013 and we departed by bus at 8.30 in the morning. It took approximately 4 hours to reach Kuantan, Pahang.
When we reached Kuantan, we stopped for lunch at this restaurant called Pak Su Seafood Restaurant. The food are yummy!

WHERE WE STAY - SUPERIOR ROOM
We were led to the block of our room, in my case it is Block B (B stands for Belalang in Malay which means grasshopper). The blocks are labeled with insect's name such as Cicak, Dangau, Enggang which is really cute.
We were staying in the Superior Room with garden view.

Rembulan Restaurant
There is another restaurant for fine dining during dinner that is called Rembulan Restaurant but unfortunately they only serve certain number of people because of the limited space. Heard it is really nice having dinner by the beach. So, we could only eat lunch at this restaurant.
ACTIVITIES
We have to take shuttle train to go to this beach called Pantai Beach where most of the activities are held here. The Pantai Beach is absolutely beautiful.

And the beach is amazing
There are two types of water sports, which is sailing and kayak.
Kayak is a real challenge if you don't know how to control
There are other activities such as yoga, archery, circus, tree top challenge and land sports. So you won't be afraid that there is nothing to do there and you can keep exploring for activities that suit you. But you have to manage your time carefully because each activities has certain time.
