Last Teambuilding for Group 1 (also my last event with ELC)

Today should be an easy day because our team will have team building at Singapore Zoo for full day! Meet up at office lobby at 8:45am but I arrived at 8am to clear out all my emails so that I will have a good and relax long weekend as Monday will be Labour day :)

The journey seems not too long, about 30 mins and alight at their long corridor between Zoo and Night Safari.


Even when we enter the main entrance, we were using VIP lane otherwise we will have to suffer thru long queues as there are few schools having event there too. Along the way, saw some nice scene but I only have iPhone with me ... so better give up and only take those really interest me. I must come here again for leisure!

White Tiger! Not in MY
Forgot which tiger killed the m'sian zoo keeper


Today's venue will be a small hut near the river called "The Pavilion". Just nice for small event and we were already greeted by the host and trainer for the day ... Lyold and Darren.


First task is to build the highest tower using 20 sticks of spaghetti and a marsh mallow within 18 mins and it must stand still when measurement is being taken. Of course my team won :)

Highest tower of the day :p
3rd tower
2nd Tower. They suppose to be higher but gave up a section due to unstable
They suppose to be highest but it's not stand still during the measurement
After the tower game, we were given a tea and toilet break. It was so nice to stare at the river while seeing the boat crossing while having light refreshment. I can really sit there for hours if really nothing to do.

Chicken Siew Mai and pastry
Can shower in toilet, with heater some more
Each door will have a information poster
 After the break, working time ... as expected. Like other team building, the management set a some questionnaire for problems currently facing by the company. With more brains discuss the same topic, this will  contribute some good ideas to the management and they can just goyang kaki and get free solution. Hate it but there's always no free lunch lor. After cracking brains for 2 hours then head for the lunch buffet. I must say their prawn is so nice that I have to take 2 rounds :p


Their toilet is sooo natural and creative ... and clean too
After the lunch break, it's game time again and this round ... similar to treasure hunt. It has a story and role play for each team. The objective is to find the murders and recover the missing USB sticks placed all around the Zoo. Supposing quite fun but after half an hour, it rain so heavy and my team was trapped at a shelter near Pavilion for 40 mins!

My team!
Brief description of my team
Prop for the team ... adventure wor
This is my character, also the team leader for Adventure!
I thought our team will lose as we have lost 40 mins trapped but we are the only team able to recover one USB stick :)

The mission
Look so weird with the hat and it's drizzling while taking this

One of the requirement is to take group photo with any animal. There is one in there and can you spot it?
The gift for winners ... only one umbrella so I gave to my team member instead
I thought that was it for the day but guess what, another short memory crack session to discuss some feedback and action plan for what we have discussed in the morning. This really getting me more pissed with the company ... damn kiasu! Luckily they still serve evening tea break before we go back office.


About 5:45pm, the bus send us back to office and I quickly went up to collect my backpack then get going back to KL, Yes! Long Weekend!
