Last night, I joined the gig of my staff at Star City as an activity to bade goodbye to the one who is bound for Singapore.

I was dared to join them in the viking(?) ride, though hesitant, I accommodated their request. At first, I thought the ride is just a simple but super sized see-saw. But when it went on full throttle, I find out this see-saw is not for me!

My heart pumps more blood and my lungs gasp for air, I thought this machine can kill. I survived the onslaught and managed to keep my composure. This experience is one of the longest 5 or 10 minutes of my life. I sat for a while and tried to look for food. Having found nothing that will satisfy my hunger, I joined my staff for another ride, this time in a bump car. Then I went home.

While driving, suddenly my sweat turned cold and my stomach felt like an angry volcano waiting to erupt. I speed up and rushed to get home, otherwise, I may puke inside the car or stop the the automobile somewhere to throw up, but risked getting flagged thinking I was driving under the influence of alcohol.

I managed to get home but rushed to the bathroom to unload. Because wifey knew am not into drinking, she just laughed and thought am nuts, for trying the ride

I still think though that what I did was value adding. As a leader, you need to connect to your people. Managing a multi generational staff takes effort, openness and understanding. Though they define f-u-n differently, its worth the try. If I’ll be asked to join them again, why not? But I will choose the rides next time
