It’s hard to believe it’s already been two weeks since our Department of Molecular Medicine teambuilding day!!
A massive shout-out to our Wellness Team for organizing an unforgettable trip to Sri Damai Resort, Kalumpang on November 29th. The goal was to enhance our working relationships and strengths. We definitely enhanced... something.
The adventure began right after our 1-hour bus ride, as we all piled into the back of a pickup lorry to enter the resort. It was breezy, a bit bumpy, and the perfect way to take in all the green, rural scenery!
We arrived and were told to get ready. We thought, "for breakfast?"
Nope.
Our very own Dr. Fazril immediately put us to work with a surprise strength workout. 🏋️♀️ Seeing colleagues choosing between 1kg and 2.5kg weights, knowing what was coming, was a sight to behold. The torture... we mean, exercise... was intense. Let’s just say "DOMS" was the most searched word in the department for the next three days. We all walked very carefully around the lab.
After surviving the workout, we split into Team Red and Team Blue for some fun games. The competition was fierce, but in the end, Team Red claimed victory! (We're not saying it's because our HOD was on their team, but... congratulations anyway! 😉)
The absolute highlight? The 'recovery session'. We had the beautiful, cool sungai (river) practically to ourselves. It was the perfect reward after a morning of intense (and painful) "fun."
From the lorry ride to the lunges, it was a fantastic day of bonding, laughter, and discovering muscles we didn't know we had. We certainly came back stronger (once the soreness faded!).
On hot days like today, we're all probably daydreaming about being in that water again!
