The long-awaited teambuilding write-up!

A long, long time ago (last year), Tetra had a teambuilding event in Georgetown. They called it a treasure hunt, and having experienced an awful sunburn the last time I had gone gallivanting all over Georgetown for a similar event, this time I brought an umbrella (and a long-sleeved jacket, which I didn't use in the end). So I managed to avoid getting sunburned!

Our activity was organized by a touristic business in Georgetown (our teambuilding committee hired them for the job). When we arrived in the morning, we were split up into groups and given a questionnaire to fill in (answers were to be found around Georgetown), and a list of tasks to do. Each team had around 8-10 people if not mistaken. Among the tasks, some consisted of taking photos or videos of ourselves doing something and posting them to the team's Whatsapp group (in which we had to add the organiser so that he could check our answers). Here are some of our photos:



We needed to find a Penang White Coffee banner and take a photo with it. Our team had split up into a few groups and two groups found the banner, as you can see from the photos above.

Another thing we needed to do was to take a photo with two policemen on duty. We chanced upon a police box and took a photo there.


One of us had to make a flower garland. I volunteered for this immediately because it was the most interesting of all the tasks (to me; maybe not to you :P ). The flower-seller taught me to make the simplest flower garland. However we were pressed for time so I only did a small portion and then the seller completed the garland with another string of flowers that she had already made. I think the task here was just to take a photo of the garland-making process, so we didn't have to finish the garland ourselves.


And then one of the girls had to get a henna done. The others didn't seem to want to, so I got one. It was my first time (and maybe only time? :P ) getting a henna art.


We also had to make roti canai and teh tarik at an Indian restaurant, but someone else did that.

Another task was to eat an ice-ball. This was the cycling team, by the way... I opted to walk so that I could carry my umbrella. :P  And also, I was a bit scared of cycling where there were many cars.


We had to get a fortune reading...



...and find other things to eat.


Taking pictures with wire art...


...and murals.


The event ended at around 1pm I think... then we headed to Equatorial Hotel for a Japanese buffet lunch (scheduled at 2pm). We had the restaurant to ourselves, but I think it was for that same reason that the food was not adequately prepared. We had to wait for refills, especially the tempura and the sushi.

When I got home, I took proper photos of my flower garland and henna. (I didn't take any photos all morning)

This was after the henna bits had peeled off... after getting the henna I had to wait about 20-30 mins before it actually dried, so I had to be careful not to brush my hand against something. After it dried, it still took some time to peel off.
