The past three days have truly been an experience-emotionally, physically and mentally. What can a course called Team Building Challenge do for you? Build the teamwork and bonding between you and your team mates, of course. Duh.
The physical challenges really pushed and many of my girls to our limits, with hours and hours of straining our bodies while surviving on minimal sleep, and exposed to unruly conditions of the harsh environment. I must say, I'm a sucker for anything physical, but having my sleep deprived was not my cup of tea. And being the pig that I am, having my normal 10 hours of sleep per day reduced to 10 hours for 3 days was over the limit. Hah. Inevitably, I fell sick, despite pumping tonnes of colostrum and drinking water enough to make a whale blush.
On the whole, TBC was anything but boring. There were so many priceless lessons to be learnt from the whole strings of activities organised. On the outside, they look pretty normal, yet the debriefs given by the instructors really brought alot of deeper understanding into helping us realise what the motive and purpose of the activity was. The best of all? There was much better communication not only within my team of people from completely different networks, but also with the other teams.
There will definitely be more posts about what I have learnt from TBC. Right now, it's time to sleep, catch up on sleep sweet sleep.
Orange Fear. All the way!
