An update here is certainly overdue, many apologies for that matter. Life in Penang (or Intel) hasn't been much different last week, therefore I didn't bother to make a post just for Day 5 itself (if you are curious, just refer to Day 4, copy and paste). Headed back to home in KL over the weekend and was warmed up by birthday celebration with family and friends (Chingy, Gurru and Mark). Really appreciated it, since the real day itself was rather depressing (I'll get to that later). Bus tickets were rather affordable, but Puduraya in KL would be closed for 4 months soon. Would need alternatives soon... perhaps Duta Station?
My 2nd week proved to be more promising (for a start), which kicked off with a team building session at Sunway Tunas field located in a housing area 5 minutes drive away from Intel PDC. Arriving at the venue early, I took the opportunity to snap some pictures of the surroundings. Half an hour later, the rest arrived and the event took off on a cold morning. Shall let the pictures do the 'talking' here onwards. :)
The humble neighborhood that hosted our event...
A calming view of the place...
Corner view of the venue...
Everyone arriving 'on time' with dark cloud looming over us like vultures... =P
My team, clockwise from left: Jonathan, Albert (same pink shirt) and Weng Kiang (leader). Getting down to business by solving the questionnaires which will fetch us bonus points for the event. Was using my phone as a calculator, not sms-ing or whatnot mind you...
Everyone else getting ready for the first game, which is transferring water from a bucket into bottle with a sponge. And to make things fun, we're blindfolded with the bucket placed across the court. Ce-yi is the team building coordinator, and here it is seen her 'minion' observing her 'victims'. ^^"
Ce-yi (in white) grins at her 'victim'. Poor man, haha...
'Victims' making a beeline for the first event. Huei Tin (my manager) looks like she's ready to kill the bucket with the sponge, hehe... Great sportsmanship there! :D
Just before the games begin, all team members ready to blindly fill a bottle. XD
The committees helping out by being the bottle stations.
Our dear leader, Weng Kiang, despite being utterly lost in direction, managed to help us win the game as our bottle was filled the most. =D
The big boss, Eugene strategizing (his specialty) with his teammates about the next game.
Tension is in the air as everyone is tied up for the following game of racing with four legs.
Settling down after the second game, resorts to solving more mind boggling questions. At the same time, we were working on our group logo.
Leader doing what he does best to explain our group logo.
Everyone busy with the questionnaires as time passes with each group presentation.
Physically challenging mini game which you have to blow the balloon till it bursts on your mouth. (ouch!)
The last mini game for our team, Wan Chew being the expert here.
Eugene scoring some hoops with the other boys as everyone else prepares to leave.
Cooling down under the shade as the sun beckons its' appearance on the hot afternoon.
The proud committee members that we are thankful of for the day.
Group photo, take 1!
Group photo, take 2! Luv' y'all~ Hope to have more events like these in future before i leave >,<
And that was pretty much the highlights for my 2nd week. Work wasn't much of a progress yet as the netbook i was supposed to work on encountered some errors. As the saying goes, good things come for patient boys. I sure hope this is true.
P/S: Credits goes to Faris for the wonderful pics!
