STAR OUTING 2009 was an event held on 6th July 2006 to mark the launch of Star Holiday’s Training & Development (T&D) program put up by Asian Star Consultancy. Together with Sentosa Leisure Group, the stage was set to welcome our guests at The Arches and promises of great fun and networking such as ‘Lets Be Frank’ would be candid.

The day started with optimism as the weather was not so promising over the beautiful island of Sentosa but faith prevails. We saw the silver lining at the end of the ‘Sentosa Challenge’ as the aftermath of the light drizzle brought out the best from the island have to offer with cool temperature to soothe the brains in solving the clues for answers.

We started off with our facilitator, Mr Sowaran Singh sharing his vast experience about the Tourism industry which brought out much laughter. He shared with all ‘Why Tourism is important to Singapore and what the future holds for the industry.’ What must the industry player do to make it to the next level? After the sharing by Mr Sowaran Singh, it was the participants turn to take the centre stage; it was the interactive session rightly called ‘Lets Be Frank’.

Wow it was a candid session and the participants were very frank indeed. The session was played out in a friendly atmosphere with the aim of understanding each other challenges and offer solutions to those challenges. Personally, I think the session kick off well where participants gained a better understanding of each other challenges and I can see that more effort will be put in to achieve better coordination between industry partners resulting in service excellence.

Tea break was a reprieve after an intense uncle FRANK’s session and much needed energy for the Sentosa Challenge.

At this point in time, the tempo have ratcheted up a few notch and everyone felt their adrenaline went up after the briefing by a certain Mr Alvin who manages to convince the participants that it is a piece of cake, a walk in a park in attempting the Sentosa Challenge. Right folks? ;-)

I trust that all the participants will agree with me that it was great to have that cool day rather than a hot and sunny day after attempting the Sentosa Challenge. Imagine walking or should I say hurrying along with not one but a few of your team mates scratching their heads and wondering what is the next puzzle.

At the stroke of 6:30pm, all participants assembled at The Arches for dinner and waited anxiously for the winning team to be announced. Well, team D emerged as the ultimate winner of the Sentosa Challenge.

At the close of the day, Star Holiday together with Sentosa invited the guest to a show at the musical fountain, a grand finale with music, water and laser show. A fitting finale to close the program with a fantastic experience with the Star.

Well folks, hop onboard Star 1 (Star Holiday’s double deck coach) for the journey home and see you again and do look out for the next event by the Star.
