It was good to reinforce the old relationships and get to know new ones. ]]> 2023-03-20 12:09:03 UTC https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523433339 There are growing familiarity bet Dorm workers and volunteers https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523433708 2023-03-20 12:09:19 UTC https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523433708 https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523433988 Bingo card. We didn’t have the hardcopy and it was tough to do on the phone. 

Briefing: While waiting for the bus to come. One in charge to be on the ground earlier to do the briefing. ]]> 2023-03-20 12:09:32 UTC https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523433988 Didn't have enough time to go to both places. https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523434012 Comment: Some workers visited GBTB a week prior to our event. Might want to check with Eric if there's another organisation running activities. ]]> 2023-03-20 12:09:33 UTC https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523434012 Start of activity https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523434465 Activity started late - perhaps it would be helpful to just put a later start time so that workers will be more keen to join + expectations are managed for the helpers

if we want to go both, is it possible to have everyone start at flower dome since it makes more sense in terms of the flow and walking distance. i understand that we may be worried about human traffic jam but we walk at diff pace, flower dome is huge and all so it might not be too bad..? ]]> 2023-03-20 12:09:53 UTC https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523434465 Timing is good. Worker seems happy to miggle with us. https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523434630 2023-03-20 12:10:00 UTC https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523434630 https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523434771 Perfect Weather!!! Thanks be to God!!]]> 2023-03-20 12:10:06 UTC https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523434771 https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523435210 Ratio just nice ]]> 2023-03-20 12:10:25 UTC https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523435210 grouping assignment.. how can we assign familiar workers to those ic they are familar with? https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523435923 Comments: Quick run through with volunteers on the workers that signed up]]> 2023-03-20 12:10:55 UTC https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523435923 https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523436663 One worker was upset when waiting in the bus for so long and left. :(


Start time could be later but then we have also less time for the outing. Tough. 

(Start at a later time, have a role to engage with the workers on the bus) - Start at 5.30pm]]> 2023-03-20 12:11:24 UTC https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523436663 Ratio of workers to helpers https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523436991 - Familiarity with workers helped to build stronger bonds 
- 2 of us : 4 workers was helpful for convos]]> 2023-03-20 12:11:38 UTC https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523436991 https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523437275 is it possible to reduce the number of attractions from 2 to 1 and change the bus leaving timing to 545pm-6pm? 

that way, it wouldn’t be too rushed for the workers (some reach back at 515-530pm). it also won’t be too rushed to try and finish all the attractions and also interact. 

gives us more time to interact with the workers too. ]]> 2023-03-20 12:11:51 UTC https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523437275 https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523437540 We should WhatsApp the signed up workers a day before to remind them of the outing?]]> 2023-03-20 12:12:00 UTC https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523437540 https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523438541 Thanks Mark, Rachel and Wee Tat for planning this!!!]]> 2023-03-20 12:12:46 UTC https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523438541 nhsndty https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523439538 The venue was interesting for the dorm workers. Thank God for the beautiful weather! We didn’t go to the floral fantasy in the end as we ran out of time but the workers were happy w walking ard]]> 2023-03-20 12:13:31 UTC https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523439538 wonder if some workers might find that they had came before and choose not to join? https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523441323 Help desk: Be more specific in asking the attraction sites they prefer ]]> 2023-03-20 12:14:41 UTC https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523441323 https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523442464 a new chinese worker was very happy to join us. said he could feel our love and enthusiasm. he said gbtb wasn’t too impressive since china has better landscapes but appreciated all out effort. he’s going back in june! ]]> 2023-03-20 12:15:28 UTC https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523442464 nhsndty https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523443032 I think the late start was due to the workers not being able to rush back in time. Perhaps could shift back abit. Food maybe something that is closer to what they might eat? My group feedback that something rice based would be gd?]]> 2023-03-20 12:15:50 UTC https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523443032 Space to have dinner and chat was good for conversations. https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523443277 2023-03-20 12:16:01 UTC https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523443277 Thank you for planning such a fruitful activity :)) https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523443292 2023-03-20 12:16:02 UTC https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523443292 The workers would seem to prefer Briyani for food. But understand that it might be a lot harder to setup. https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523444653 actually we’ve been having briyani the past activities just not christmas. also because eric suggested KFC previously as he mentioned that they like kfc! 

Comment: Eating with our hands!]]> 2023-03-20 12:17:00 UTC https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523444653 nhsndty https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523444983 Maybe next outing could be at beach? The outing at the Siglap cc where they had games was kinda fun:) perhaps we could have a beach day? But not sure how the timing would work ]]> 2023-03-20 12:17:15 UTC https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523444983 https://padlet.com/markpangss/gbtb_debrief/wish/2523448768 Confusion over grouping with last minute change (no fault of organisation) as they prefer to be in the same group.
