• EUROPE TOUR APRIL 2010 EUROPE TOUR APRIL 2010

  • From: betrina
  • Description:

    Halo Friends

    I hope you like the photos posted in Europe which are 35 out of 1400 shots I took.  For those of you who are thinking of going to Europe, if you need to move around on your own do not fear coz I have been through it and it's not that bad after all. I survived.  Honestly, before I went for this trip I was not looking forward to it.  I dreaded the idea of having to lug my 23 kg luggage from train station to  train station and having to walk to our hotels dragging my luggage.

    I was in London to attend my niece's wedding and we couldn't find any tour convenient for us to Europe.  So, we had to move around our own.  When we first arrived in London airport, I was sulking away having to board the train to London, changing 3 stations before we arrived at Bayswater (our hotel - Holiday Villa ).  We took a wrong train at one station and had to carry the luggage up and down staircases.  I really really hated it and was pitying myself and telling myself how did I get myself into this kind of holiday. 

    But, as the days went on, as we travelled by rail from Amsterdam to Paris (3 hrs), Paris to Zurich (5hrs), I told myself, hei this is not that bad after all coz everyone is doing it and it is  kind of fun and I am working out too.  The trains are so comfortable.  It was really great experience and getting caught in Europe during the Iceland volcano eruption.  We were not really affected coz the day I was supposed to fly back the airports opened.  I was really looking forward to more trips to Rome and Venice, but then I had to come back.  So, friends the moral of the story here is whatever we do once we get used to it, it is not that bad after all. Never say NO before even TRYING..  It was a real experience and I know from this trip, in future I can rough it out a bit, but, I still need my bedroom with my own bathroom as long as it is clean.

    Cheers.

    Betrina

    When you are in London, do try taking countryside walks.  It is really really nice and 4 hrs wasn't enough for me. Amsterdam - Holland - The best time to go mid-April to mid-May coz it  is the annual flower festival.  I was so thrilled to see so many types of tulips and I wish I could have an early dinner amongst the flowers there.  Zurich is so beautiful and not busy.  50% of Switzerland are mountains.  Remember the movie Heidi, the swiss alps are so amazing and it really gave me peace of mind. I wish I could spend a night up in the alps.

    Awana Genting Highlands, 9 & 10 April 2010.

    40 management and staff team from SEGI Education Group came together for a Leadership & Team Building Programme with the theme, "The Power of Teamwork" at Awana Genting Highlands.

    The event started in the morning from SEGI Subang to Awana Genting Highlands where they spent a night in the traditional-styled Sarawak Longhouse. It facilities were were clean, comfortable and functional. Food and service were excellent. It's 5-star luxury living close to nature!

    Immediately after checking into the Longhouse, they started off with realising the most basic but yet a vital component for company's growth guided by its Vision & Mission to be the leading educational institution with global emphasis by empowering learners relevant to industry needs. Driven by a set of core values required by each individual employee, a "Giraffe" drawing exercise proofed that Team Synergy is necessary to pave the way.

    After lunch they proceed for the 1.8 km Jungle Trekking. A short relaxing trial to warm up for the outdoor programme ended at the golf course for the first internal friendly competition. After a short 10 mins basic coaching session, the teams got more than 80 balls crossed 50 yards! Not bad at all for first timers. The exercise shows Individual Contribution is important when embarking into an unfamiliar territory.

    BBQ dinner by the campfire set the stage in the evening for the second team game challenge - Entrapment, a series of different challenges, the Chain Gang, Poison River and Time Bomb where the teams compete to reach to finish line by tackling one obstacle at a time. This exercise requires Forward Planning, Time Management, Adaptability and Efficient Communication Skills. 8 Crap Traps shows how communication breakdown can easily happen. Another important element in building an effective team is Trust. The teams show their support and trust by putting themselves into the Circle of Trust.

    On the second day, Ms Helena inspired everyone with her Motivation Talk after a sumptuous breakfast. She stressed that joy begins at home and a happy person produce better quality work performance. After the talk, the teams proceed to the third team challenge. In the Explorace, teams were allocated RM22.20 to shop for 5 items in Gohtong Jaya Town. One of the compulsory item that they must purchase with their Budget is to find and hand-pick the biggest strawberry. None of the teams bought "Hope" that we specifically looking for.

    Continuing their mission, the teams proceed to the final destination at Tanah Aina Fareena orchard in Lentang. Lunch was served before the teams attempt the final challenge. Exploraquest - to solve given set of quizzes based on knowledge of fruit plants. A lesson to remind us not to take things for granted. Get to the Source! Teams are required to produce the evidence to substantiate their claims. For the benefits of our readers, no fruit trees were harm in the process...

    Well done Team Yellow for achieving the Overall Team Winner title. Nevertheless, for the rest of the team members, participating in this Leadership Programme already made them a winner!

    SEGI COLLEGE – Level 2

    War Game - Dusun Eco, Pahang

    9 – 11 Mac 2010

     

    Day 1 – Bus departs from SEGI, KL for Dusun Eco, Pahang in the morning. Lunch was served upon arrival at the resort after being transferred from the bus to the resort by trucks.

     

    The event began with Blow-Wind-Blow, an ice breaker for them to get to know each other before starting of the program. They’re then broken into 4 teams with Platoon Flag Design as the 1^st activity. Teams presented their flags before tea break.

     

    The “Terrorist Assault” started in the middle of their tea break with smoke and water bombs! Flags were also stolen by the terrorists and with that, the war began…

     

    To recover their sovereignty and honor, the platoons need to overcome several challenges.  Their first challenge was Black Hawk Down. All members of the platoons’ abseiled down a 20 meter-tall tower bravely with ease. Size did not stop a member from tackling tower. Larger size gear was brought in to facilitate the abseiling.

     

    Points were collected from each challenge where platoon’s used to covert into coins for purchase of weapons and food from the Weapon Dealer before they tackle a 10’ Wall.

     

    After dinner, a campfire was built where the platoons gathered to work on their communications. An Armageddon situation was presented and members need to fight for their rights to continue mankind in an unknown planet.  A test on 8 Crap Traps was given to see if they pass this crucial test. 1 platoon came close but the rest failed miserably.

     

    Day 2 – After breakfast, the platoons are required to build their own bamboo rafts and sail across the lake in the middle of the jungle. It was a successful launched! Well done all members. However, while they’re on their way back to base camp, they were ambushed again by the terrorists. Caught off guard, the casualties were high!

     

    Entrapment, a team game was played to sharpen their Strategy & Risks Management skills. They are required to bring all team members and their equipments cross a Poison River. Few casualties but it’s a normal learning process. They continue to challenge the Rope Obstacle Course before attempting to pluck the leaking pipe to retrieve jewel deep inside and ended with the Commando Crawl in deep waters.

     

    It was Saving Private Ryan at Night by Trekking through the jungle. Given only a candle to start with, the platoon members brave themselves into the darkness, collecting more candles and lighting up their way. Bomb blasts can be heard over their heads as the war continues…

     

    After locating their flags whereabouts, one last final task has to be performed. The platoons escaped by planning a well coordinated Leg Tie walk, crossed a bridge laced with deadly Laser Beam above their heads and tracking through a maze of obstacles to finally retrieving their sovereignty Flags.

     

    The final attack to wipe out the terrorists was held at night while the terrorists are busy preparing a fire for supper of corns and potatoes. Heavy bombardments with more than 300 bombs deployed. Victory at last!!! Team members then reflect their entire war journey ending the night by giving credits to those who made the mission a success.

     

    Day 3 – Time Bomb - The objective is to defuse a time bomb with 4 teams working collectively. One bomb was accidentally exploded but no harm done. It was successfully done the 2^nd attempt. For remembrance, the warriors formed a Pyramid group photo. The mission is finally accomplished, bravo to all Team Members

     

    The program ended with prize presentation shares among all team members followed by a Certificate.

    SEGI COLLEGE – Level 1

    Dusun Eco, Pahang

    26 – 28 Feb 2010

     

    Day 1 - The students departed from Segi KL by bus in the morning for Dusun Eco. Lunch was served upon arrival at the resort after being transferred by resort’s trucks.

     

    The event began with a program itinerary briefing, a short “STORI” before settling down into their dorms followed by Blow-Wind-Blow where students get to know each other names, the countries they come from and the study program they’re taking up. As expected, questions like “are you still available pop up”. It’s more like match making!

     

    The students proceed to design their Team Flags right after lunch. 3 conditions to building the flag are: Segi College logo, Team Name, Team Motto. They presented their Flags in the evening with a skid accompanied by a “Victory Cheer” where they’ll do the cry after accomplishing a task.

     

    Wall Climbing was the first outdoor activity. They took up the challenge and a couple of them reached the top. Bravo…., considering this as their first attempt! Followed by crossing of a Hanging Bridge to reach the Flying Fox launching point, they totally enjoyed the 200m flight!

     

    The program started building up with history of when the earth was made and how human kind developed through time. A heated debate was held among teams in preparation for Armageddon where they have only 15 minutes to decide who should continue mankind after earth!

     

    Tips on communication were pointed out during the debate and put in use in 8-Crap-Traps where they failed miserably! Well, it’s a learning process to demonstrate the importance of effective communication.

     

    Day 2 - Jungle Trekking kick start the 2^nd day followed by the Obstacles Course after the Circle of Trust. Their biggest challenge was the 10-foot wall where they’re required to bring all members across. Well done!!! They managed to take every member crossed all obstacles safely.

     

    The 1^st outdoor competition begins with Explorace where 4 teams took up a series of challenges by crossing a Poison River, getting the team members to finishing line using Nature Call and ending up with plucking holes in a Leaking Pipe to retrieve their winning token.

     

    Team Games continues with Entrapment – Pirates of the Caribbean in the evening. Unfortunately, 4 members did not join due to some minor injuries and etc … Anyway, the team spirits came alive where members receive positive strokes from each other in Credit Card.

     

    Day 3 - Building Winning Team, The X-Game – where competing teams comes together to accomplished their final challenge by retrieving “something” by working collectively as a team. The lesson is, look beyond and work towards greater achievement!

     

    Best Team and also the Overall Winner is Team Psycho. Congrates to all team members!

• WSFFM International 4x4 & Outd WSFFM International 4x4 & Outdoor Adventure 2009

  • From: alanlim
  • Description:

    

    Women's Sports And Fitness Foundation Malaysia (WSFFM) is a non-governmental, non-profit organization devoted towards the empowerment of women on the significance of sports and fitness, fostering friendships to achieving peace and solidarity.

    This year, WSFFM took 76 participants to their annual adventure challenge from 30 Oct to 1 Nov 2009 in Gopeng Perak, Malaysia. With them are the exco members and event management team that comprised of marshals, 4x4 drivers, medic and video & photographers.

    Participants were greeted by the organising team at Shah Alam Stadium where they register and collect their goodies. The buses departed once everyone's on board and head towards Gopeng Town. A briefing was conducted on board the bus to prepare participants for event. Participants were then ferried to Adeline’s Rest House by 4WD and trucks, the “Bangla” style!  It was the first-time experience for most as there’s no chance to do this back home.

    Breakfast was served once they settled in. The rest house provides safe and comfortable huts built by Orang Asli (indigenous people). It’s “luxury camping” in the jungle with all the basic conveniences. Complemented by Adeline’s yummy culinary meals, it’s a 5-star resort in the jungle!

    Off they go for the first event - 4x4 off-road driving (group 1 & 2) and other groups went for different activities. 4x4 Special Stage, a friendly competition to test the skills of the participants in off-road driving based on precision and teamwork to cross a log-bridge. Most ladies passed this SS with flying colours although some came out with a pale face from fright caused by their team member’s confusing hand signals!

    In conjunction with 4x4 activity, a donation drive and cultural immersion project were planned to expose participants to the culture of the Orang Asli in Kg. Ulu Guroh. Participants were taught head gear weaving, play instruments and dance as part of the activity in Asli Craft.

    The challenging White Water River Rafting in Sg. Kampar didn’t stop them from getting into the raft. This level 1 – 3 white water run takes about 1 and 1/2 hour down river. After a technical briefing to prepare them to work as a team followed by a Water Confident session, just in case they fall off. Couple of rafts toppled, throwing everybody off-board but they were assisted back aboard by the experienced guides. After all, it’s part of the thrill!

    The breath breaking Cavern Flying Fox at Gua Kandu that can be accessed by a short jungle trek was said it’s not for the faint-hearted. The ladies proved them wrong and showed their might. The 80m distance, 30m drop couldn’t stop them.

    A training session was conducted for each member to ensure that they are comfortable using the Abseiling Safety System. The waterfall is so appealing that no one can resists climbing to the top and getting wet abseiling down the fall. Too tired to climb? No way, I’m going up again! The refreshing cool water gushing down your face and soaking through your body just keep you wanting for more. Got people went 3 rounds - that’s too much already…

    Heavy rain pours in both evenings but it didn’t dampen their spirits at all. The ladies continue to have fun, bringing down the house in Explorace held on the first night and BBQ Garden Party accompanied by a Saxophonist on second night. What more you can ask for? Good company, delicious food, great music, fantastic atmosphere, all under one roof. Oops…or should I say “under open sky”.

    Thanks to the generous sponsors, the best group, winning team, individual awards and gifts were presented to all participants at the end of the event. But the most valuable gain from participating in this event was I guess; new friends found and old friends cherished!

    35 students took part in this inaugural adventure camp-out from 23 to 25 Oct 2009. The bus departs Segi College, KL at 10am and heads towards Ulu Yam passing the scenic view of Batu Dam. A regular group of water collector, collects mineral water from the forest hill by the main road using PVC pipes to channel water into a water container.

    This 3D/2N camping trip started with an ice breaker session upon settling down in their tents followed by team flag design. 4 teams were formed with the "theme" - Communication & Trust. The teams took slight more than an hour to come out with a slogan to reflect the theme. Segi College logo was a must to be included in the design of their team flags.

    Adventure starts after stressing on the importance of communication and teamwork. The fisrt activity was Jungle Trekking. A 2-hour gruelling trek was met with heavy downpour halfway through the journey. A less dangerous short-cut was used on the way back to ensure safety for all. The group was met with a swollen river from the rain that makes crossing difficult but nevertheless, a tree truck was used to assist safe crossing.

    The team then gathered to present their flag slogan after dinner. The presentations were made interesting with short skits.

    Day 2, students went for Abseiling and Flying Fox. Just a short trek into the jungle, the abseiling point were set down a waterfall. A cooling splashed by the falling water on top refreshes ones body, mind and soul!!! After all the adventure in the morning, it was free & easy in the afternoon anticipating rain again. Some took the opportunity to take a short rest in their tents while some enjoyed bathing in the river.

    A Jungle Walk was conducted at night. Using limited torch light, the team went on their very first experience walking in the jungle at near total darkness. They showed good communication skills and supporting each other throughout the walk. Teamwork sets in ...

    Day 3, Before depart for KL, a series of Explorace competition were organised. Amasingly, the set of long instruction stating the game's rules & regulations were understood and followed deligently by all team. Well done guys and gals! Last but not the least, students were presented with a Certificate of Acheivement at the end of the trip.

    It was an exciting and memorable trip overall. New friends found & old friends bond!

• Saving The Mangrove Saving The Mangrove

  • Description:

    A group of 120 volunteers participated in a conservation project to replanting mangrove trees in Sungai Besar, Selangor, inititated by the Forest Research Instiutute of Malaysia (FRIM) to protect the shoreline from erosion, providing shelter for young animals and fish to trive in the protected santuary.

    We left KL in the early morning and arrived at Doraini Bayu Resort where we had breakfast and lunch after the project. An introduction on mangrove conservation and technique used for planting were done by FRIM officials followed by a short demo on how they're planted.

    A total of 52 Comp-mat with 4 plants each were successfully planted on that day. To ensure that the plants are savely in placed for them to take roots, they were ties down with ropes and secured by 4 poles. Besides that, rows of Geotube were erected about 100 meters off shore to protect the tides from destroying the fragile plants.

    End of the day, it was fun in the spa-like soft muddy sand and most of all, contributed to protecting nature!

    Our Journey to Komodo Island

    Pak Yos, our gracious host from YOS Marine Adventure greeted us at Denpasar Airport, Bali and later in the evening treated us to a authentic local restaurant. Our choice of menu, obviously local delicacies! Try the "Flying ...." (can't remember the name) a fried fish dressed-up deliciously for your eyes!!! As the old saying goes, we eat with our eyes ...

    Our flight to Labuan Bajo took us slightly more than an hour from Denpasar, Bali the next morning. Nice comfortable flight with friendly and lovely stewardess accompanied us throughout our journey. By the way, it was a perfect landing. Bravo to the pilot captain!

     

     

     

    Ms Ita, our host was with us to fulfil her mission - fam trip of Komodo. A cheerful lady who showered us with smiles throughout our 5 days stay in Komodo. It's amazing how she could study the dive sites without getting wet!

     

     

     

     

    Our resort, the all-new Bintang Flores Hotel. A luxury 4-star hotel located about 30 minutes walk from Flores town. Beautifully furnished, ample facilities, attentive staff, nice food with a great view!

    Try out the food in town. A word of advice, you'll need to be very patient. Go early and order your food before your stomach yells hunger!

     

     

    Diving was great except for the boat ride. It took us 3 hours to the nearest dive site on the noisy old junk. However, according to our dive master, Mr Dolphin (his real name), their new speed boats will be ready to serve divers from March 2009 onwards.

    Great news!

     

     

     

    Fortunately, the view is fantastic! Surrounded by mystical Islands, we just can't stop snapping our cameras all the way. The weather was great. Calm sea and warm water, as we slowly cruised by islands after islands.

    The best time is from March till September.

     

     

     

    And underwater, it's picture perfect! Great stuffs with lots of varieties. *ps. It reminds me of Sipadan Island in Sabah not that long ago... Check out my video of the Eagle Ray.

     

     

     

     

    

    The dive package includes a half-day land visit to the Komodo Dragon Park. We were ascorted by a knowledgeable Park Ranger who guides us through their natural habitat trial with a long sturdy staff .... just in case!

    A trip not to be missed. After all, these dragons can only be found here.

     

     

     

    End of the day, new experience gained and friendship bond. A moment to treasure and cherish for life. Thanks to Pak Yos, Ita, Dolphin and all staff at Bintang Flores Hotel for the wonderful time. We'll be back!
