Retreat'09
Finally, retreat on last Sat is over. Wanted to blog about it yesterday but I didn't have many pics so waited for others to upload on FB first then I kop. Haha...
The entire dept - Over 100 IODians. We were all wearing customised GIC/IOD T-shirts. Green, black and orange. Damn sian ah... Wake up early on Sat morn to come bk office. I was telling Boss I only wake early on Sat once a year for the annual retreat. Zzzz...
Games that we played during the day. Poison river... We have to cross the river by following the sequences of the boxes on the floor. Some positions require really awkward moves where ppl could get interwined...
I think this game was worse. All of us had different disabilities and we needed to cross over to the other side of the room. I had it worst. I had to be blindfolded, hands and legs were also tied up. Practically can't move at all so KB had to carry me. But he was also blindfolded! I was so worried that both of us will fall and topple over. Thankfully, we made it across successfully.
It wasn't just all games though. We had to use our brains as well. Had to sit down and brainstorm on some ideas then after that present to all. That's my Asst Director in the pic. He presented on behalf of FI Vertical. I kanna arrowed again to take notes and summarise. Haiz... So sad. After retreat, I still need to go back and do work while others don't have to.
Then, we proceeded over to Meritus Mandarin for dinner. Presenting our very own drag queen - Alan! That was a total surprise. Wasn't expecting that at all. And seeing the different performances by all the groups, I think our dept is actually quite a creative bunch of ppl. Thumbs up ppl!
