Jungle Trekking
At first, we thought that jungle trekking was merely a 5 kilometers tiring walk, however, as we trekked into the jungle we were taunted by many different obstacles. For the first 10 minutes of the hike, we were trekking up slope all the way. And at certain parts of the trail, we were supposed to walk alone as it was really narrow and slippery. We had to cross muddy paths where our shoes actually sank into the mud while we were walking crossing it. We were told not to be afraid of the mud and to walk quickly across it as we were sunk in deeper if we hesitate longer.
As we trekked through the jungle, there were parts where we needed to hold on to the person in front and behind you to support each other. We learnt to take care of each other and ensure that no one is left behind.
Team building Activities

It is important to alert my team mates behind me of the obstacles during jungle trekking to ensure that they are aware of what they might expect as they trek forward. It is also important to have ample planning whenever we need to carry out certain activities to ensure that we fulfill our objectives. It is pointless to shout or scold each other as arguing do not solve any problems. Everyone has different threshold and we should all try to treat each other fairly. Having a different perspective and mindset towards team building activities, I believe that if I am given a chance to try out it out again, I will be able to deal with it in a better way. I also learnt that decision making cannot be solely dependent on instincts but I need to work through the problem in order to make the right decision.

We had many difficulties faced during the team building activity
at the Adventure Park. I noticed that we did not work well and we needed to improve
on our teamwork. But as we continued to work together and complete the course,
I learnt that I have to communicate with my team mates more to have an
effective teamwork and finish the challenge at a better timing.
In life, sometimes we cannot do things on our own. We have
to work as a team so that we can get our tasks done effectively.

I have learnt that we have to strive with better
coordination, working together and to discuss with each other instead of
arguing for better outcome. I have learnt that I should communicate better, try
to share my ideas to help the team. Smile is very contagious and that’s what keeps a person
going. Some people might be going through hard times but what makes them able
to keep moving forward is that they smile which spreads positivity. So, we
should be grateful and thank those who are still around us, standing around us
today.
