Treetop Walk

Finally the day is here for HQMC external LIFE event (LIFE- basically some sort of physical activities that most camps will have regularly to promote health). Usually it will be conducted in camp like before or after office hours and usually it will be run/games/body workout, and the organising committee is rotated among different branches. anyway, my boss decides to have something different when it is our branch to organise- to conduct one outside camp (which means more work for his subordinates...or rather me to be specific, cos my friends in the branch are either clearing leave or not around, and it so happens that my postulated leave is AFTER the event) Anyway, it is still quite fun and interesting coordinating such a event; the only problem is that it takes up some of my already-busy schedule.

In fact the preparation phase took around one month. We have to decide where to bring the whole clan, plan for the programme, etc. We eventually settle for HSBC tree-top walk, simply becos it is near our camp, and we have never held an event there before. We finally propose it to be held on 24 August am, which happens to be my last day of work before my 2-week leave for NZ trip.

Much to the contrary, it is enjoyable planning for this tree-top walk, which i have learnt quite a lot from it. Recee (i did it twice!) and planting the marshals, arranging for drinks and food, planning for the games, admin stuff like attendance, safety cover etc. My worst fear is actually the rain, cos there isn't any shelter there!

Unfortunately, my worst fear came true! it rained half-way through the journey and well... most of us got drenched. We have to cancel the last item last minute and dismiss those team who have returned first in full strength (must leave no man behind!) Sorry guys and gals if u happen to read this, esp to those who needs to travel in wet clothings.

Special thanks to people who have helped me to make this possible; i definitely can't do it alone. Especially to: Ms Tan and her 2 helpers (glenn and zaimao), Staff Tan and the 6 MRF helpers, people who have helped us in one way or another along the way, National Parks Board for allowing, and all the participants from HQMC. It may not be the most ideal, but this is probably my pre-ORD gift to the organisation heh =p
