Team Building at Sufes Tapah Campsite

On the 1^st of April 2013, SCSC held a three days two nights Team Building at Sufes Tapah Campsite. It was the first team building whereby all the activities and games were prepared and conducted our own committee members. They were Kae Shen, the organizing chairperson, Crystal, the advisor, Gui Sheng, Clover, Kevin and Sherying. The purpose of this team building is to bond, interact and have fun with the newly joined members.

We started our journey at 9.45am in front of Sunway Residence. On the way to the destination, the seniors interacted with the new members and played around in the bus.

We stopped by at Bidor for lunch before heading to Tapah. The lunch was booked by Gui Sheng’s father at ‘Coconut Island’ restaurant and the food there was delicious. We arrived at Sufes Tapah Campsite around 2.20pm. The environment there was not only beautiful but also refreshing.

The journey to the waterfall was challenging and tiring but the breath-taking scenery of the waterfall made it all worthwhile.

Meanwhile, the committee members were busy preparing for the ‘Balloon War’ tournament.

The tournament started at 3pm and ended at 4.30pm.
