In one activity which i forgot what is its name,we were asked to go from station 1 to station 4 and back to the 'pondok' when we completed our task. It sounds easy but it did not when our eyes were sticked by something( i dont no what its name is ;it is something like stickers). Every team members has to reach to station and asked for a QC check. Gosh, my sense of direction is very very weak. let me tell you how weak it is.
That morning, we went back to the jungle for another 2 activities which challeged my physical strength. (Ouch, my hands' muscle agree with me.-.-'''' ) The time we finished the activities was 11 something. When we came out from the jungle, i ran although i was really exhausted. WHY?? because of the sun and i m a 'puteri lilin'. And the journey from the jungle to our resort was quite long. I rather died from exhaustion than melted under the sun. That is why i chose to run. I nearly went to the wrong road which means i might lost in the resort.-.-''' i was not supposed to turn right in the 1st junction but i did. Luckily, there was a gang of people who also ran behind me and they reminded me.
Back to the story, i had to lead my team members to reach the station in the situation where all of us were 'blind'.-.-''' Because of my weak sense of direction, i asked Sher Mann to lead us. Wow, he was the man. His sense of direction is just my opposite side. This activity required us to trust our team members and communicate with them. It was quite lost when you have to walk to the unknown place. So, we had to put all our trust on Sher Mann and the other members as we were holding our hands to keep us together. In the mean time, we had to remind them if there was trunk that might block their roads. When we reached each station, we had to put one of our hands on the landmark. So i let go of my member's hand as i had to hold the map in my left hand. (the map was for the instructor to make sure that we had reached the correct station) When we were moving on to another station, i were lost because i couldn't find the hand that i had been holding. Therefore i shouted. Then, one of my group member held my hand. What i try to say is a very simple non-verbal communication which is hand holding can give the basic trust and strength to people. It is amazing, isn't it??
