All the Associate Deans were obliged by the Dean to start the "story telling" of their background before getting a few of us randomly to present. There left one last one to present and so call, by popular demand (or I see it as sabo..), my Assoc dean and Team mates shouted my name and I was asked to present. They were more excited to see the River of Life painting than to hear my life story. Anyway, I am not that comfortable to tell the whole office about my past and background and I dont really know where to start, and due to the time constraint, I presented a very brief introduction and some of my own achievments in life and my future goals to the rest of them.
The event of the retreat was held at a countryside, next to Sungei Buloh, called the GardenAsia at Neo Tiew Crescent. The ambience was so comfortable, as if we are all having a retreat in someone else's house. There is a nursery just outside our seminar room, and we could see the outside view from the full windows slightly shaded by the bamboo blinds.
There were a couple of brain storming sessions among our teams and quite a few exchange of words across the room among some management staff but with their witty-ness and clever use of words, some nasty/direct arguements were avioded. And of cos, with our Dean as the facilitator whom act as the Mediator, all things ends well with the rest of us keeping in strict slience and smile awkwardly in a few occassions.
The retreat ended on time we were so glad that the weekend is coming, rushing for the train either to head home or town and looking forward to wind down and end our Friday with a good shower and great dinner...
