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.

Kumano Kodo - Day 1

Just came back from Osaka last week. It was my personal and solo trip of the year. There were only two main focuses of the trip — the Kumano Kodo and the Expo 2025 Osaka. Let me share my experience from the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage. Well, it felt more like a hike in my local hills. I chose a 4-day, 3-night walk with a boat trip included. This route was the simplest, covering only about 7 km of walking (though I added some extra distance for personal exploration). It was Route 3 of the Nakahechi route. By collecting 10 stamps along this route (at designated stamping points), I should be eligible for the Dual Pilgrim certificate if I complete the last 100 km on foot of the Camino de Santiago in Portugal. All my accommodations and packed lunches were arranged through the official Kumano Travel website. Although the booking response was a bit slow, I managed to receive confirmation about 2 or 3 weeks before my flight.  To get to the Kumano area, I took a train (Kuroshio limited express) ...

Kumano Kodo - Day 3

Based on the model itinerary on the Kumano Kodo official website, my trip was supposed to last until Day 4, with a visit to Nachi Falls and its surrounding area on that final day. However, due to some schedule changes with my friend, I needed to return to Osaka by 6 pm on the last day. So, after much thought, I decided to squeeze the Day 4 itinerary into the afternoon of Day 3. As it turned out, the route I took could actually be completed in three days. That meant I could leave for Osaka via an early train from Kii-Katsuura on Day 4. Let’s continue with Day 3. After breakfast, I boarded a bus heading to Shingu and got off at the Michi-no-Eki Kumanogawa bus stop, which is exactly the departure point for the traditional boat ride to Shingu. If river cruising isn’t your thing, you can simply stay on the bus until it reaches Shingu. Along the river, there are a few waterfalls. About halfway through the ride, we made a brief stop at a riverside spot with a white rock believed to be the rem...

Expo 2025 Osaka

Some photos to share from Expo 2025 Osaka (the country pavilions that I managed to visit). There were lots of people, and some pavilions required queuing for hours. The weather was unforgiving too—one day was hot and another day was rainy (I bought a two-day pass for the visit). I only manages to visit eleven country pavilions. Overall, it was fun but tiring.  Photos taken with iPhone 14.
