We Will, We Will Rock You!!!


Hi everyone.

I had my first team building experience yesterday with my big EB sales family. Definitely it was a 1½ day experience to remember.

Joining EB for nearly a year now make me realize that I am really at a good place in my career. All of a sudden I ‘see’ the faces of those who are the experts in the insurance field. These people are the ones responsible to make EB where they are now, and we are and still at the number 1 spot in the industry.

What I need to do next is to focus to learn as much as possible from the Gurus and make sure I also can be the expert one day.

My journey on the team building experience started with a bus ride at 7am-ish on Friday morning to Seremban. After coming to Seremban three times in the past 2 weeks for a launching, didn’t bother me too much about the trip down south. I’m more anxious to see the old Seremban that I have not visited for such a long time. I was in Seremban 2 you see, so my favorite old Seremban part I have yet to visit for, at least, since I go for the US to study. Felt like meeting an old flame… huhu….

Truly the changes amazed me. There were so much going on that I couldn’t put things in perspective. Different road movement, new buildings, new signage, new housing areas. I’m glad I could see the old A&W is still there where I remember it used to be. I had a lot of memories there…. I couldn’t see the tasik and the masjid negeri…. Too bad… maybe I should take a day trip again to Seremban next time.

We arrive at Klana Resort around 8.30 am and had breakfast. The Vantrax people were energized bunch of trainers. They are Sandra. Mehan, Sunita, and Rahul – the most eligible bachelor –single and available– as what the other girls were commenting. I learned that he is a Cindian, so he looked Malay at all angles.

As for the team building experience, I was optimist, trying to do all the things that are going to be a challenge to me.

We had mind games, physical games, I even crawled, kissing the dirt for a challenge. Hehe. All was fun. My main challenge is of course in facing heights. I really couldn’t do it. I went up on the flyingfox because my big big big big bos wanted me to do it. How can I say no right? I wasn’t convincing enough to them eyes to be the one who is afraid of heights, because I always challenge people at higher ranking at the office. They see me as a brave person la – I think. Well, at least now they know I am truly afraid of heights and would never do those terjun from pokok thing ever again.

That night we had dinner and yes, socializing night is awesome. Some dancing and singing took place. Even the guy who was singing all night dedicated me a song – a love song, I think, or was it a heartbreak song? – Jue said the song was popularized by Amy Search. Either way, I was flattered coz I didn’t see it coming. Haha.

Another thing is, I’m not sure why, but I’m feeling someone wanted to know me closer. I hope I didn’t sent him a dismissal reaction coz I’m not so sure how to react to men who I thought could have choose someone else instead of me. I don’t know. Sometimes I wonder why I flirted a lot but I didn’t take an opportunity to go further when there was someone who is truly interested in me. Now, at home, I felt like I missed a boat ride to Paradise Island. I’m sure love would feel great. I surely do not want to be alone – single and available – anymore. I hope he will find my number somehow and call me. At least I would know he is worth a shot.

The closing of the team building allowed me to share with my big boss and big big bos of what I or should I say My Team needed in order for us to go further in our growth. I’m glad I did get it off my chest without sounding like a whiney grandmother. I hope things will progress well from now on, so that my dream in career in this field is going to flourish and one day hoping to be an expert.

Thanks to all, I did enjoy these 1½ day event.
