PRM Teambuilding 2011 @Tekam Resort

Financial year 2011/12 showed up. The departmental teambuilding was approved! Yay!~ Of course we were over the moon, we have been waiting for the approval since last year. The best part of being one of the committee members was that the fact that we could decide the venue of which the team building was going to be held. And it was Felda Residence Tekam, Temerloh on 23 until 25th June 2011.

We arrived in Tekam after 4 hours of journey and had had our lunch with scrumptious chicken rice. There are various types of accommodations provided by the resort such as hostel and chalet. The committee members opted for the air-conditioned chalet which could accommodate 3 persons in each chalet.

As always, there was a simple welcoming ceremony held in Dewan Mawar to brief the participants on the activities which were laid out throughout the trip.

Later in the evening, we were split into two groups for so-called extreme and leisure activities respectively which were flying fox and canoeing. As for me, I chose the flying fox. The last time I participated in flying fox activity was during the orientation weeks of my campus life.

                                                 
That was yeaaaars ago, y`know. But the feeling was still the same while climbing the monkey ladder to go to the platform-thrilled! On the night session, we had a brief gathering for the management games.

                                                       off I went. woohhooo!~

On the next day we had explorace . Our tasks were to find the answer for the given hints at several check points around the huge resort area in the mid-sunny-day! In order to get the hint from the man at the check point, of course we were instructed to do things like sing a song, resolve teka- teki and whatnot. Haiyo!

And in the mean time, we were also required to write a story by using words with a given initial letter. We were assigned with the letter of J, so the story went

Joe Jambul jatuh jongkang jongkeng jadi juling ,jadi jenab jerkah

and it went on and on.

Somehow it was funny despite how silly it sounded. The next activity in the afternoon was to build a raft from scratch and eventually made a quality check by riding on it across the lake nearby.

                                                           gathering the materials

together as one raft! =p

My team made it through! Too bad the moment was not captured. *sobs*. The exhaustion was paid off when we had scrumptious dishes during barbeque dinner in the night. Yums!

The food selections were so tempting that I was having a hard time to stop myself from munching all night.Haha!

On the last day, it was sunny and bright, we resumed our next and last activity to explore the cave which is situated not far away from the resort, Gua Sanding. The sceneries inside the cave are terrific, and we didn’t waste much time to snap the pictures as much as we could. 

The atmosphere in Tekam resort itself is so calm and peaceful and that even we can hear the birds were chirping in the early morning when we wake up. Plus, participating in those activities which I would not do every day, were enough to bring my mind away from stress of work and mental turmoil.
