NCS Team Building 2008

Okay, went to the team building event which was held at Paradise Sandy Beach hotel. Lots of people, went with Penny.. got into the same group with her. Didn't know the rest of the people there.. well, almost 98% of them actually.


My team was C2, the team victory shout was came out by a funny guy which sounds something like this...

"1,2,1,2,1,2,3... 3,2,3,2,3,2,1....
1,2,3, 3,2,1... Team C2... NO.1!"

Its a bit lame.. but it gets the message across. Was elected by the team as the leader as they said I'm tall enuff to be one.. >_<

Gaming sessions was held by the beach, total 4 games.

1st game led by me, team member queued up, blind folded, only i can see.. I'm at the end of the line... guided the team to navigate thru the beach area to collect props for points. use sign language like touching shoulder to navigate left or right, touched arm to signal members to squat down and try to pick up whatever stuff they can.

2nd game, we're given a roll of fishing string. a cup was placed at a center of a marked square, team members are not allowed to go in, use string to tie around the cup, tried to lift it up and pull it to the other side and dump it into a hole. Wasn't fast enuff, lost to team C1. Break time for some snack... rushed for water and sat down with Penny for some sandwich. Break lasted around 15 - 20mins.

3rd game, led by Penny... carry a person or "mummy" across an obstacle course of ropes tied around 2 poles. Each member must be carried across the course and u-turn back to starting position. I was the last to be carried so... yea... was very very very exhausting game.. >_< (but i got carried by 4 girls at one time... =_=!!) We've won the game.


4th and final game - use 4 rope that tied to a center rubberband... 4 members, pull each string to enlarge rubberband so to fit plastic cup. carry over to the other section where team members use the same device (not hand) to stack the cup up. whoever that stacks the highest wins.... we poured sands in each of the cup to make up for the increased height. unfortunately, base was not stable so the height had been compromised. in the end, lost to the other team who does their building in slower pace but still within time limit. :)

Took a few shots and head back to the ballroom. Received debriefings and my team and another are tied for the champion as we've got 5 extra points from the start for able to assemble a full 20 people group first. well, that's not fun to me.... doesn't feel like a real win... as each other 'loosing' team each won 2 out of 4 games as well. In this case, the real winner to me is some team that can win all 4 or 3 of the games. But anyway, it was a good effort by the team and got the prize...

keychain~ yay.. better than none. then come the NCS employee awards ceremony...
Had our buffet dinner which was nothing to be shouted at... so so only then we took a group photo as well.

A tiring but overall okay experience for me as we get to know other people from the same company as we are too. Great job guys if you're reading this!

"potato, tomato, tomato, potato... team C2, PAK BEH TOH!" .... LOL
