17 JAN 2009 (SAT) Motivation course
No work on Sat but still got to wake up very early.
Just to go for this motivation course.
Haizz..
May as well, else stay at home think of lots of rubbish thing & make myself sad.
I was like a zombie before the class start, thought it was a normal classroom, lecturer thingy.
But Heng ar..
A lots of team building work and discussion.
There will 28 of us, and had been divided into 5 different group by the trainer.
Wah lah, damn suay.
Work c my boss and after work still happen to be in the same team.
But overall ok lah.
And never to forget my MD is also in the same team with us.
Whew ('.')"
1st game which involve everyone.
After a bit of discussion shouting here and there, we decided to hv a try.
And yes, we did it...
Our 2nd game,
is to build a tower as high as possible with the material given and it must be stable.
Material given incl.
- 2 ballons
- newspaper
- A4 size paper
- white tape
Then we must name our tower and why we give such a name.
Tower making in process..
4 other teams...

Everyone was poking fun @ mi for climbing up to the table.
But if i dun climb up, hw m i going to build the tallest tower,
Kabashima san had notice that each of us has our own role when we did not even discuss who doing wat?
Simon - Kip concentrating on how to build the base
Charlyn - kip tearing the tape for our use
Kabashima san & Christine - kip taping the tower, ensure it it tape properly
Nakamura san & mi - Kip emphasing on the height..
Ha..Ha...
That explain why i m on top of the table.
:p
Our Tower...
We dint get 1st but came in 2nd.
And guess wat out tower name.
With Nakamura in the team, haiz...
nothing creative lah.
It call "Nitto Corporate Tower"
U knw wat, Nakamura san even draw Nitto Logo on his name tag...
""Faint""
Time pass very fast, and we had our lunch.
After lunch we had our 3rd game.
3rd game
Each of us had an "Apple" & "Banana" in our heart.
Once the horn sound, we must get close to our "Apple" but not near to our "Banana"
If your "Banana" is near you, u got to move away.
The problem is my Apple is "Whye Whye" and Banana is "Shanti".
Whye Whye apple is "me" and Banana is "Shanti"
Shanti Apple is "Whye Whye" and Banana is "me"
We kip avoiding each other but in the end we give out.
The trainer from far already know wat going on.
Haha..
Then we are back to our classroom.
This time to do a personal self accessment.
And I am a "PEOPLE ORIENTED" person.
People Oriented person are more to the right Brain
They ....
-Listen actively
-Patient
-Value personal relationship
-Consider other's feelings, values, beliefs
-Had good counseling skills
-Work cohesively with others
-Hate rigid procedures that fail to take into account human elements
Some of the points are quite TRUE.
Maybe some of you would like to try taking the survey on another page with the title "Characteristic course survey"
The Last game, proceed to the next room again.
So many paper plates on the floor.
There are colour number written on it.
We have to open one by one given the trainer want us to do in a time frame of 6mins.
eg. open blue no. from 1~20 or red no. from 20~1.
We failed twiced and the trainer gv us another difficult task.
asking us to open Green no. 1~10, Blue no. 11~20
Of course for the 3rd time, we failed again.
The 1 time, we open 2 paper plates
2nd time, we open 1 paper plates.
3rd time, there was none.
The trainer challange us and say the previous group did it in 6mins, this group is lousy.,
And ask us to give up.
Forgot to mention.
There is even penalty, our body cant go inside the white line except when u hold the key to it.
With the key, u can only step into the white line and to tap on the plates, else penalty is to do the Penguin dance alone or with group member decided by the trainer.
Everyone doing the "PENGUIN DANCE"
Ha..Ha..
My hand was pointing inside the white lie.
I kana one penguin dance alone...
No choice, as not to waste time, dance loh... Anyway, i m nt the 1st one nor only one to kana.
End of the course.
End our dinner about 9.45pm, Cat fren DF send mi home....
DF is the one standing at the top left hand corner.
Cat beside mi and her bf behind her.

At last for the 4th tried, we manage to get thru by 5.59 sec.
Woow...
Sweat...
Else if it is more then 6.01sec, we will be like banging..
Having a dicussion on what we learn and how we can motivate one another
Nevertheless, the course is not as boring as I think intially.
It was fun, it allow mi to build bond with my colleagues unless when we are in the office.
We get to know one other characteristic and to get close with my MD..
Ha.Ha.....
And do u know wat. the trainer reveal that in actual fact we did better then previous group.
They did not manage to finish on time.
After course, rush down to Clementi Sakura to meet CAT and fren for dinner.
She do not want mi to stay at home, afraid that mymind will bring mi to somewhere else.
Her purpose also to introduce new guyfren to mi and to walk out of the shadow.
Haizz..
But why of all place Clementi Sakura, near Dan house, do not wan to go intiallym but why should I restrict myself from going place.
No, I told myself, And so there I am.
Did enjoy myself, but din eat much, no appettite.
