I have not fully recovered from the muscle pain I gained from the previous TBOSIET training and intensive pilates exercise when I was hit again with one full day outdoor activity during HR team building.

It was a 2 days activity from 14 to 16 Dec at Rumah Jambuluwuk which is located in Bogor, Ciawi. The place is nice, the air is refreshing, the acquintances are fun and the food is great. What a perfect combination.

But what ’refresh’ me most was the whole day trekking on the second day. When I asked my friend who was the committee about the activity, she told me that it would be very low impact as our boss was very concern about our safety. And the fact that we brought 3 security guards, 1 policeman, 2 our own fire extinguishers with us seemed to prove this point. Moreover, the place where the game would be held will be a kid’s play ground. Yeah right.

The trekking was no low impact at all. It was started quite easily at first where we still can chat and giggling endlessly. But when we start entering the padi fields area that’s where my pink nike shoes really face challenge. The trek was muddy and seemed to be an endless up and down, not to mention that it was slippery. Thank God the team was solid and we really looked after each other.

The only dissappointment was the instructor. He was no help at all. Of course he is not suppose to help but the way he answered our question was really hopeless. The instructor kept on asking “Do you have any questions?” and later on answering any questions with the monotonous zombie tone, “Read the instruction”. One of my friend finally explode and saying, “So what kind of answer that you can offer us?? You are not helping at all! I don’t want to see you here!”. Hihihi… 

After that, we went through series of physical games where our endurance was really challenged. One of the toughest game was walking on the block where our balancing capability was really tested. There goes personal embarrasment as we were required to literally hang on to each other. Body to body. Head to toe. Sweat to sweat. So much for personal hygiene.

Other than that, it was really a fun 2 days that gave me the opportunity to know my new colleagues better. We sang and danced endlessly and at this point, I felt really lucky to join this group. They are a bunch of fun people who are easy to be with. And now I have to deal with the physical pain.

Note: after that event, I went straight to Bersih Sehat and had an hour body massage. And the next day I hit the gym again. Surprisingly, my insomnia seemed to fully recovered. I guess I really do have to exercise.
