The venture is over.

28th Oct. Our very own City Venture event (SIM amazing race) took place and done.

Months of preparation and rushing and late sleeps, all for this day.

It went as planned, and was pretty nice...excluding the screw ups and etc.
...well, nothing is perfect right? There are stuff we did well, like the avoidance of team clashing and etc.

So expectingly, there are certainly praises and complains. So got After Action Review soon.


Back to main point. Really got to say, the team was great. For the last month or so, we were all drilled and pushed to levels unthinkable previously. Many of us certainly had learnt alot from the event. And had put in alot. As boss said, we all deserved a pad on back. Great to worked with u guys.



And yup, it's over. Upcoming would be our sister event and helping up some other event?

Til then, it's back to studying. Which had never been easy.

Study group anyone??


-------------------------


As the "transportation and logistic" guy, one of the major screw up was from me. I had a Crisis Management Lesson.


Let's reel back the tape.

Remember last year in NS i got a Nissan Van stuck in mud? Then months later i got the same Nissan van, and a lorry crashed onto it's rear?

Then on July i had a $300 crash onto a Nissan Taxi?

This time, during the event, my rental lorry broke down.


No prize for the correct guess. Yup, it's a Cabstar lorry. NISSAN Cabstar.


So it was early into the event, sending several Game Masters and team mate to Orchard then ECP. Just one junction away from Orchard road, it decided to die, during red light, on right most lane of Clemeneau Road.

What a way to cause a jam on a peak hour morning. That includes the stopping of all traffic so that the brokes from SIM could push it to the left ahead. Oh yes, the orchard team had to go orchard on foot.


Nevertheless, glad to have a great team with me. Helped me alot, in organising of people and especially when with talks with the rental company for replacement vehicle..thank you...


Anyway, the entire thing wasted a great deal of time. After it i was rushing up and down for fetching and delivery...


Lesson learnt: Dont save money on Rental vehicle. And Lin Jingxiang never to drive a Diesel Nissan, again.
