Company Sport Carnival

     Wow, It's been long time I didn't post here. Kinda tight up with my work and lazy to blog too. Hahaha. Anyway, here I am to update something interesting for me.

     My company has this sport carnival and it's held on 30th June 2008 till 11th July 2008. But actually it's being extended till tomorrow, 18th July 2008. This is one of the yearly event that my company has to build up team spirit and let each staff mix around with colleagues from other departments or teams. The winner team sure gets rewards from the company while the loser team will have a "great punishment" during company family day.

     I'm a new fellow here and quite surprised that I've been appointed to lead one of the team. Well, it's hard for me to gather different people from different departments! Somemore, some of them are senior management and senior software engineer or "Lau Lang" in my company! They're busy and some even don't bother to reply your emails!

     In addition, the scoring is rely quite heavily on supporters mark, which means, my team can still lose if no supporters at all during the game. It's 40 marks out of 100 marks. That's really good way to "attract" more staff to participate in the sport carnival! Haha... So, I've to call them/mail them/SMS them in case they on shift or on leave!

     Througout this carnival, I met some "wonderful" people and really have to think of way to "ask" them participate in the carnival! Thank God for few supportive team members in my team. They helped me to pull those "coorperative" teammates to become supporters and give suggestions to me to help me lead better! Praise God for that.

     Initially, my team lost in table tennis, badminton and also futsal, we kinda worried that we'll be the loser team. According to those senior staff, the punishment is something like perform dance or funny drama during the family day. It sounds quite scary to me and old staffs. None of them wanted to be punished in such a way! Haha..

     Thank God that we able to win in the dart game! It's a creative dart game. The player must throw the dart while the board is spinning and if it hit "M" on the board, the players must complete a mission to gain more marks. Guess what was the mission? Biscuit crackers with "some" wasabi!!! Eventually, we had fun and enjoyed the game very much! But then, I made mistake and caused my team to lost 50% score of the winning points! Sigh...

     By then, our rank is at 7th position, so, I kept encouraged each of my teammates to have fun and do our best to improve our rank! Thank God again, we enrolled ourself into semifinal for Uno & Stacko, final for basketball and 5th position for snake & ladder. To cut the story short, I really felt blessed to have wonderful teammates. No doubt, some of them gave me problems initially, but as time passed, they do give me full support too. I bet is for the benefit of themselves too (avoid the punishment!) Hahaha...

     Today we had our semifinal for Uno & Stacko. Wow, it's an interesting match! We'd really hold our breath as if it will blow off those blocks! Haha... Again, we have our 2nd champion in this game! Hahaha... Tomorrow is basketball match, hopefully and prayerfully we can be the winner again! Actually, we never put hope in the basketball match as only 2 out of 5 players really know how to play basketball! Again, all glory to God that helped my team to proceed to final round! Amen.

     To end this entry, I really make more friends in my office and learnt some communication skills from there too! Apart from that, I really had fun and enjoy it a lot.

P/s: Even if we win the 1st place in tomorrow's match, we're not going to be the 1st winner team. Our position will be either 3rd or 4th! So, my team will definitely not the loser team now! Yeah!!!
