Today was organized a site event in Sentosa island.
Sentosa island is an island that has been transformed into a leisure area. There are hotels, amusement parks, a casino, etc. everything to keep you entertained.
My first impression was massive given the size of the underground parking. I couldn't see the end of it even after 5min driving in the taxi.
The resort were the event was organized gave me the impression of walking in Las Vegas, minus the sound of the slot machines.
The agenda was typical of a company event with business update and envisioning in the morning, team building and fun in the afternoon.
I froze the whole morning in the hall as the air conditioning was set too low, as usual. I was very glad I had brought a scarf with me.
Lunch was okay, no more which is a pity knowing the great food available in Singapore.
The afternoon part was probably what made the day. An external team took over to make us different team building activities including the well known marshmallow challenge and building a car for a corporate Grand Prix.
Somehow the team spirit was not there in my team and it never really kicked. Our biggest achieviement of the day was to be the only team who couldn't assemble the car in time nor even race one lap without having it breaking apart. I know it's all about participating and not winning, but I can't help thinking that next time the guys in the team send the girls to decoration while they build the car, I will push back. It was a classical example of men rushing into making without reading the instructions. And that led us to a car with wheels that were not screwed...
In the end it was a good day especially as I got to meet a lot of people, but that's easy because I don't know anybody here... Yet :)
