Out Bound Management Training

Just got back from 3-day out-bound training in Tawang Mangu, Solo. Well, it turned out to be a very exhausting---no matter how insightful it was--program:)
Around 40 of the new heads and secretaries from each department at Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Gadjah Mada University had to cope their fears in this 3-day outbound training. well, we did not have the slightest idea as what to expect to encounter during the program. To our surprise...we had to climb, crawl, shriek, jump, squat, wiggle, wobble, roll......in the not-so-pristine jungle at the slope of Lawu Mountain.

Of course, it was an insightful as it really did give us a bunch of management skills through silly-looking games:) BUt...WaiT...they were not silly AT-ALL..once we learnt something out of them. we were really forced and pushed to the limit .....and just when we were about to explode...things started to cool off ..since we finally realized the essence of what we were doing.

We became soooo close to one another. Never had I been this close to some of the previously-stern-looking professors:) And never had I been this open in responding and pondering what others had in mind. It did make me become a new man....so to speak.

Afterwards...
Telo Telo TElo....we bought ourselves lots and lots or tons or tons of cassavas...the famous staple food of the locals. It turned out that the particular cassava was amazingly sweet and good.....
I bought lots of it.
