Department Teambuilding

Finally it's over! Phew!!!

I've been tasked to be the organiser for today's teambuilding at Sentosa, mainly just gotta work on the activities for the day and BBQ. But that's already a little stressful. I was so afraid that things will go wrong, weather might be bad, etc. Yes yes, I've been praying extremely hard for good weather as most of the activities planned were outdoor. If it really pours, I've only got a big packet of balloons to fall back on. Erhh...well, low budget. So the only alternative Just game which I can think was to blow balloons since there's plentiful in my lab. Wahahaha....

I guess the funniest part was that I actually had a bad dream last nite. Dreamt that the BBQ had not even started at 7pm when I've promised everyone that our teambuilding should end before 7pm. Just remembered that we kept changing BBQ pit in the dream for some reason lah. Luckily it was just a dream. STRESSED manz!

I thought that it would be a much easier task to bring a group of adults out on an "excursion" compared to bringing kids. But I was wrong. The adults were just as hard to manage. One ran off to buy a cup of coffee before we board the Sentosa Express and in the end was denied entry onto the tram (no food & drinks allowed!). So the whole group of us gotta wait for him to finish his drink. Then another two ran out of the train a stop before we reached our station. When it came to games, some simply could not understand basic instructions and rules of the games. In the end, I screamed and shouted until I almost lose my voice.

Luckily te BBQ was more orderly and it finished off at about 6pm. Haha... So my bad dream did not come true! Other then a passing shower when we just arrived at the chalet, the weather was fantastic. Bright & sunny!! And I got tanner again. Haha...

Yeah! On the overall, it was an enjoyable & successful teambuilding. Ended the evening with a beer & chit-chat session with some colls.

Look forward to the next one (paintball I guess) to be organised by my boss. Hee hee....
