Company unite day - a yearly team building day
This year it was at Manly beach. Mainly indoors tho.. we used the event rooms in the hotel there. Usually its an overnight thing but because of cost cuts ours was just a day thing.
A ferry was organised to go to manly from the city, i had a lift so we drove there.
Everyone turned up in their company polo shirts :D
1st team building event, we got to know the MC and he had an interesting skill of reading peoples handwriting.
This was interesting as he could tell what traits you would have as a person depending on how you wrote a sentence and signed your name.
we then had to find hand shaking partners.. see if youre the type to pump the handshake once, twice or 3 times.
i was a 2 pump person and found a colleague to partner up with.
then we filled in a short answer/question paper and had our polaroid taken to attach to our form.
this was then stuck around the room.
Next was lunch on the beach :) small lunchboxes were provided.. hehe looked funny seeing everyone lined up on the beach :P

look like school kids at an excursion.
we had 2 birthdays too.. big cake was organised.. choc.. sponge hehe..
and the MC smushed both guys faces into half of the cake :P hehehe
wow never seen that before hahahah..
we got to divide up and share the other half of the cake :P
Part 2 of the team building activities.. we started with an X or Y game.
Wasnt a very good team building game =\ pretty much the aim is to win.. and you trick and lie your way into winning =\
me n my handshake partner won this hehe :P i think we lied our way to the top.. =_= i didnt really do much.. he did all the decisions hehe.. but i saw where he was going :P
next was the build a tower that withstands tornados with straws and sticky tape =P
we failed that one lol
and then there was the fun bit :)
we had bicycle parts laid out and random teams were chosen.
we had to build the bike and have it checked by the pros that it was safe.
these bikes were then donated to the smith family kids.. so cool
there were a few teary eyes..
kids came in with numbers corresponding to the bikes built for them.. there were small kids ones and large adult ones made :)
a great cause.. we had fundraising during the night to contribute more to the smith family also.. so this would not be a one off thing
everyone lined up with their bikes hehe
we then had 2 hour break.. where i was watching my 3 female colleagues do their makeup and get ready together :P
we had predinner drinks where we got to check out everyones costumes hehehe..
we had a harry potter person!!
a pedofile flasher.. complete with long trenchcoat half open to show his nude top half.. :P
my manager looked cute in his just-fit school blazer and cadet hat on the side lol
we had a few teachers, professors
lots of school kids.. tho everyone didnt look that diff to me cause collared shirts n ties are similar to work clothes anyway :)
father in his kids school uniform.. pretty good :D hahah
