The Amazing Run

My uni had a team building day yesterday... It's a Saturday but they've made it compulsory with threat that if we don't attend, we will be losing marks in 2 of our papers this semester... =.="

It's supposed to start at 9am but somehow the activities have started before 9 when we reached... Well, I think we've just missed the intro & some warm up...




Group 8! My group's banner!

Well, just in case you are not able to interpret it with your pea brain, it means: To "INFINITY", United We Stand... =D

We were seperated into 19 groups to have a 'Amazing Race' kind of activity where we'd got to look for clues and complete some tasks involving mental, physical & teamwork... When my group was gathered, we were very quiet while many other groups were starting to sort of get to know each other... I was like: Ok, how am I gonna survive thru the entire day?!

Soon the facilitator of our group came & asked for a group leader among us... I was scratching my left eye and the facilitator, Miss Mala pointed at me and ask: "So are you the the group leader?" I said no, but I wouldn't mind... And Miss Mala said: "So you are the group leader now!"




The lunch we had...


Once the game started, I realised my first thought to the group was very wrong... In fact, my group was one of the highest in spirit to win the race! XD We used to run a lot throughout the race and involvement from everyone was high...

As some of you might already know, my asthma came back on Friday due to the serious cough I had... Therefore, it took me really hard to follow up the pace sometimes, but it's worthy after all...

P.S. It had been 10 years since I had asthma I guess?! It came back, damn...




One of the tasks to be completed, tower building with straws...




Group 8's tower

After the whole event, I realise tower building was the key activity of the day for my group... We were the first group who finished the tower and that made us so much faster to complete the whole race than any other groups... =P

However, our tower eventually was also the first to be tested... Other groups managed to take note and further modify their towers, in order the pass the test... =.=" Therefore, my group end up to be in the second position in overall, after quite a massive number of marks being deducted on the stability of tower...




Reward for being FIRST to complete the race!! =D




SECOND in overall, lost by 1.5marks only >.<




My group & our SEXY tower

After all, this team building day isn't as bad as I'd thought... Managed to make some new friends, learn some new games and also share some thoughts... I was the so called "leader", but everyone took turns to lead throughout the race... ^^

Loving number "8" more and more! XD


P.S.
Yen, my group just lost to your group by a little bit, don't be too proud & stop calling yourself the Taylor's Amazing Run Champion (TARC)
=.="
