The Purpose of Life is a Life of Purpose

Time flies. Santa Claus is dancing again to entertain the crowd at shopping lots. Christmas is just around the corner.

December means holiday to many. But as Ketua Unit Kaunseling IPG Kampus Rajang Sarawak, commitment, joys and responsiblities are the three things that gonna rock me towards the end of 2009. Yet to find some days for holidays.

I boarded the institute bus for a 340 km 7 hours south west bound trip to the Cat City on the 4th of December.

Without a doubt, the 3 days 2 nights Team Building Course for 36 IPG Kampus Rajang supporting staff at Merdeka Palace Kuching was a thrill to all the participants. Many PERASA tools were being borrowed, modified and deployed to maximise the achievement of team work.

The course was completely simulated activities based, incorporated with lot of philosophies of life especially in the context of team work among co-workers in an organisation.




Laughters echoed in the air through the hall way. Salam semut, Tabik monyet, Gerai Runcit Merdeka, Group Battle-Cries, Mission Impossible, Si Adikku Yang Manis, The number Games, Penghargaan Epal, Manitoku Sayang, Jom SMS, Itik Pulang Petang, Pembentangan Kumpulan, nyanyian, tarian, Putera-Puteri Merdeka are some of the activities that had captivated the hearts and souls of many. Some even cried knowing very well that a co-worker who had not been readily accepted by others for certain reasons all these years but proved to be someone who is more alert than themselves during the course.

Gerai Runcit Satu Malaysia menjual barang-barang yang telah ditetapkan oleh Datuk Bandar. Participants were entrusted to collect those items while making an excursion to Sirikin, a village next to the Indonesia which offer a variety range of product at bargaining price, Antaranya adalah seluar dalam lelaki, bra, rambut palsu dll....

Please look for the trophy, score sheet and the mangkuk on the wall. All team members worked together to chip in marks for their respective teams.

Among the many songs sung during the course was the Theme Song Let's Work Together. The powerpoints portrayed all the participants' faces with radiant smiles. Other songs with lyrics were all supported by self directed animated powerpoints were Kasih Sayang, Words, I can see clearly now, You raised me up, Top of the World, Teman Sejati, Uma Paloma Blanca and others.

An one week affair 7th-13th December 2009 marked the 2009 Sarikei Pineapple Festival. Among the many activities held was the roadshows by academic and professional institutions in the country. IPG Kampus Rajang putted up a super stall. As Ketua Unit Kaunseling, my job was to coordinate with the Ketua Jabatan Sains Sosial to design the booth and prepared all the exhibits.




The lady sat next to me was a Datin who wanted so much to be part of the team. You see how I work ! Quality that's.
