Of team building and treasure hunt......

Went for department team building event on last week. The event kicked off with treasure hunt around PJ area. There were 12 groups. I was in Group 10. As the teams got their first question to attempt, each of them headed off. My team still in the factory compound strategizing. The plan worked though as we able to overtook some of the teams. The clues lead us to Aman Suria and then Damansara Perdana. Along the way, we managed to solve most of the questions.

As time ticking fast, we decided to speed up and target to leave for Port Dickson by 10.30am. The last point of the treasure hunt was at Taman Tun D.I. Managed to get there by 10.30am. Then we sped off to Port Dickson. We supposed to reach the end point by 12 noon. Otherwise there would penalty imposed. Little did we know, the actual time of arrival was before 1pm.

Our team building venue was in Eagle Ranch Resort, Port Dickson. My team arrived at 12.05pm. We thought we were some what behind the pack as we didn't see other teams along the way. To our surprise, the organizer hadn't reached the resort when we arrived. We were the first team to arrive. Complete with treasures and answers. Indeed we were quite excited. Seeing other teams turned up one by one. However, the winner yet to be announced. Points would be given to correct answers and treasures.

The event continued with team cheer. Each team would come out their original team cheer.

Late in the afternoon, we headed to the beach. Teams were consolidated into six teams. The task was to assemble a raft. Then using the raft, the team would sail out to the sea and take back a flag. Unfortunately, my team got the last place.

Nite time was horrible. Karaoke event. I must say that the event dragged until midnite with dried up laughter.

The next morning, we had mini Amazing Race. Not quite fun actually. Just did some stupid tasks like collecting leaves, went here and there, solving problems. I still prefer the actual Amazing Race (not the one in TV3 Explorerace).

The last event was great - paintball. Team vs team. The objective was to get a flag from opponent area. Again, my team loss. Some of them got bruise from the paintball shooting. This was the time the good employees took revenge on their bosses. Hehehe.....

Overall, my team got 4th. A box of chocolate to share among the members.

The good news was my treasure hunt team got 2nd place. We almost got 1st. Loss out in the deciding game. We won 2 irons and 2 blenders. I took back the iron although I don't use it. I wish I would have get the first prize -DVD player and cordless phone.

So much for the events. I think I would like to play paintball in the near future.

Day 2: A visit to some of The Tokyo Toilet project

On the second day of my trip, I decided to visit some of the public toilets under The Tokyo Toilet project. The idea was inspired by the film  Perfect Days . Since the public toilets under this project are scattered around western side of Tokyo, I visited a few in Shibuya area, which are quite close to each other. One notable location is Yoyogi Park.  One of the highlights of these designer toilets is the transparent toilet. Its transparent glass walls will turn opaque when the door is locked. This feature is based on the electrochromic effect. However, this feature is unavailable during late autumn and winter, which coincided my visit. The key takeaway from this visit: an eye opening experience about toilet culture and social inclusivity.

Japan trip 2024

Just returned from a solo trip to Japan end of last month. The trip coincided with a conference in Sendai. It was an 8-day trip, including 2 days of travel. Took a direct flight from KL to Tokyo on the afternoon of October 23rd (Wednesday), arriving that night. By the time I cleared immigration, it was almost midnight. Then took a train to downtown Shimbashi. Without detailed research on the location of my booked capsule hotel, I ended up walking in the wrong direction and almost being harassed by roadside pimps (lol). After getting free Wi-Fi at a convenience store, finally able to find the hotel. Once checked in, took a hot bath (it was an open bath). That was the end of the day.  In-flight meal of ANA airline Male-only capsule hotel with open hot spring You can browse manga for free after soaking
