No. of Subjects: 7 innocent, ordinary folks and their sadistic torturer – the Boss! (1 smart member was out of the country at the particular point in time)

Project: How to torture your subordinates under the guise of “Team Bonding”

Step 1

• Inform your Subjects that we’ll all work half day and spend the remaining of the day participating in some Team Building exercises.
• Remind them there will be a free BBQ dinner after that!
• Travel to Bedok Reservoir.

Step 2

• Make sure everybody arrives.
• Get them to sign Forest Adventure’s indemnity form and get them to gear up before they knew what’s in store for them (the buckles were so tight we felt we were in a perpetual wedgie!)
• Take some pre-torture photos (check us out! All enthusiastic and fully energised! We fools!).

Step 3

• Start the torture course! Listen to the screams reverberate throughout the trees!
• Cackle maniacally while filming Subjects’ wails of fear.

Final Results

• Everyone can scream really loud, even the men!
• Under extreme duress, Subjects can curse and swear worse than an Ah Beng or Ah Lian.
• Said Subjects will also curse and swear at the Boss.
• Subjects’ after effects include: sore muscles, multiple bruises, and insanity as it was actually quite fun. Well, once you get over your fear of heights, jumping off a high platform, shaky rope ladders and big, fat RED ants. Shudder.

After effects from the Forest Adventure outing: Bruises!

So tell us, what should we do to the remaining team member who was not there to SHARE the “fun” and pain? (A colleague suggested Reverse Bungee Jumping at Clark Quay, what about you?)
