Guoman Hotel, Port Dickson

December 2008 is a busy month generally ... Somehow, there are always things to do during the weekends ... Trips, training, weddings, music play, etc ...

It kicked start with a training program conducted by company for the new AM. This year they sent us to the seaside, Guoman Hotel - Port Dickson.



I enjoyed training ... Nothing to do with technical, just some softskills ... Explorace, management game, performance, food, food and a lot of food ....

One of the game that I like to share is this management game : Gold of the Desert Kings.

Gold of the Desert Kings addresses the issue of effort versus productivity. Participants are placed in circumstances with limited time and resources and must rely on their team to achieve their goals. The pressures and anxiety experienced in Gold of the Desert Kings are similar to those experienced daily in a hectic work schedule. Participants contend with deadlines, a perceived lack of resources, others’ point of view and the pressure to just do something while trying to accomplish team objectives.

Teams rush to compete against each other in this challenging race across the desert. Their goal? Battle the elements to get to the mountains to mine for as much gold as possible and return home alive. Teams are forced to be as productive as possible with limited time and resources. Participants will experience the benefits of teamwork, planning, setting goals and taking necessary risks.

By the end of the game, my team was the last team to arrive home but we were not bad, No. 2 ... Initially, we thought that we would die rich, buried with all the golds at the King's Tomb ... ahaha ...


Sunset, blocked by the cloud.

In the training, teams were asked to prepare a performance for the nite. The theme was Beach Movie. It was entertaining to see how people who always dealt with numbers came out with the ideas. We had the Movie Jaws (where the shark ended as shark fin in a bowl), Cast Away (where 'Tom Hanks' was rescued by Baywatch babes), Pirate of the Carribeans (where Captain Jack Sparrow was rescued by a local leng lui on a deserted island, accompanied with the Kuch Kuch Kota Hai music as the back ground music), etc .... My team, we danced, based on the movie Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen song... So long i didn't dance in front of so many people... I think since Kindergarten til now ... kekeke ... Memalukan :P



And this, so many years I didn't play the arcade game already ... I suck !!!! kekeke ... But, it was fun and my fingers were tired too ...

I really don't mind if they want me to send me to this kind of training again .... hhihihihi
