thanks michy !!!
reached college at 1235 hour
luckily we were not really late
they were still packing up the stuff
which should be brought along to Cameron Highlands
while waiting for the van driver, Mr Khobbi to arrive
as he was also late
Ms Hannah, the student affairs executive
introduced us to Mr Nelson Allan
a.k.a the organizer and also the joker


on our way to Cameron Highlands
we stopped at the Sg Buloh's Bridge Rest Area
a.k.a Restoran Jejantas Sg Buloh for lunch
while on our way up to Cameron Highlands
we also stopped and rest
at the waterfall area to have some fresh air
and also a few other rest area


arrived at 1815 hour
Ms Hannah, Little Bro WJ, Little Sis YJ and I
had a little short break
while the others (Mr Allan, Mr Khobbi & Phooi Kuan)
went to survey the teambuilding place at Tanah Rata


photo below is the SPM (Syarikat Permainan Malaysia) Resort Home


went to Brinchang's Pasar Malam at 1915 hour
then headed for dinner at a nearby western restaurant
went back to the resort home
and Mr Allan started briefing about the whole agenda
he let us had the opportunity to feel the ongoing
of all the activities set to gain
the culture of trust, accountability & innovation


the photo below shows the connection between 10 nails
which has the other inner meaning which will be revealed
later in this post

after the briefing and activities
the "adults" having a Vodka drinking time
they mixed Vodka, 7-up, peel fresh orange juice & ice
that was also Mr Allan's time
to share his experienced and jokes before everybody
oozed off to the comfortable beds
as usual i have insomnia
didn't know that Little Bro WJ wanted
to join the "fun" of insomnia
ended up watching TV till 0430 hour before we get some rest
but Little Bro WJ freezing of his feet


18/04/09 - Saturday
we were suppose to get ready by 0700 hour
but in the end we departed at 0715 hour for breakfast
the moment we arrived at the teambuilding place
SMK Sri Hartamas' students were all there
it was our duty to start the teambuilding activities
at 0830 hour




the whole activity started with Mr Nelson Allan
presenting his powerpoint on
"Educating for Character"
it is aimed to hope that participants will be able
to use POSITIVE AFFIRMATION in bringing out the best in person
also to hope that participants will practice good habits
in their daily understakings and be able
to benefit from the effects of best practices


Mr Allan brief on the instructions
of the second activity - "Pointing Game"
participants were to form a circle
raising right hand with open palm
which allowed the participant on his right to point his left
index finger on the open palm
the objective is to catch the index finger
when commands were given but not getting caught
it is aimed to let participants listen to instructions
accurately and focus on carrying out task effectively



after the "Precious Cargo" activity
participants sat in groups to discuss their weaknesses
after the 2 activities that has been held
it was given the session named as
"debriefing of the first two activities"
it is actually aimed to let participants check their understandings
and also reminding them on Positive Affirmation and Politeness



this was the only activity that brave volunteers
among the participants get to joined
one group which started with the boys
and next with the girls participants
this "Trust Fall" activity was aimed
to build the trust, responbility and ownership
on safety and security of others


as you can see the girl is walking
on the PVC pipes with the trust on the other participants
this is the "Magic Carpet" activity that participants
would build the self confidence and believe
in their peers to achieve set goals
The ability to synergize and work
with strengths and weaknesses in peers
will allow them to have better understandings
in each other and work together



this was the "Getting Nailed" activity
which should be carried out using a block with 10 nails
as you can see at one of the photo previously
it is impossible to make 10 mails lay on that particular nail
the purpose of this activity is to enable participants
appreciate the purpose of synergizing
through a simple experiment of striking balance
understanding challenges and thinking out of the box


this activity was actually tried by the girl in the photo
but in the end had Mr Allan get another boy to help her out
we facilitators thought that the both of them
had another suitable way to make the 10 nails
do stand on that particular nail which was nailed on the wooden block
but in the end both of them failed to do it


the whole teambulding session ended at 1210 hour
headed back to the resort home
to pack up and depart not back to KL but depart for lunch
Ms Hannah, Mr Allan, Mr Khobbi
Phooi Kuan, Lita & Yijia
headed to the morning market after lunch
Little Bro WJ and I was too tired
to just lay our feets on the road
we just slept in the van while waiting for them
shopping for fresh cherry tomatoes and fresh strawberries


departed from Cameron Highlands
at 1430 hours back to KDU College
in the middle way back
Mr Khobbi stopped us at the same waterfall area
Mr Allan went to shop for "his friend" a.k.a Tongkat Ali
which "the friend" cut Little Bro WJ's hand
when he was aiming to get a few bottles of mineral for us
reached KDU College at 1750 hours


while after i reached home
i was dragged by my uncles, aunts and also parents
to have dinner at Center Point's Dragon-i
i was too tired and no appitite to dine the Fried Rice
that was ordered by my aunt
in the end i had to take away that served fried rice


i fell into slumber after the msn chat
with Little Sis YJ & Little Bro WJ
to settle on today's badminton session
was really too tired to touch anything else


19/04/09 - Today a.k.a Sunday
mom woke me up at about 0700 hour
