Chillout, Soulout & Freakout at Batu Maloi Cave

Gang Pointer 4.0 ✌

My legs and arms were shaking. Sweat was tripping down my face.  Every step and crawl felt like thousands of needles are sinking into my legs, but above all that, nothing worth experiencing comes easy. 
It was project week for my classmates and I from the Malaysian Maritime Academy, and we happened  to experience our first ever caving adventure at Gua Batu Maloi which is located at a small town called Johol, Negeri Sembilan.  

Our Multiracial Team ❤

Our adventure at Gua Batu Maloi begun way before we actually reached the cave system. We were required to first trek to the cave. Thought the trail seemed tough, we were very assured that we would be rewarded along the way by the startlingly beautiful foliage, the captivating greenery of the rich rainforest that holds the cave in its embrace. And this magnificent surrounding kept all of us going. 
This cave formed beneath masses of large rocks, with a clear shallow stream lazily making its way around the stoned and boulders that make up the cave floor. The challenges that we had to face consisted of crawling, sliding, climbing and also creeping out of tiny rocks. The narrow and winding passage into the cave can prove to be quite perilous, especially in pitch darkness. 

Essential Selfie Sessions 📸

As explained by our caving guide, this cave was a very interesting granite cave formation. The river actually makes this formation from million of years of water flow. You can imagine a dark cave with tiny insects around, and chilling water running above your body while you submerge yourself underwater. 

What made the activity really fun? The fact that we had to squeeze and cram ourselves through small gaps and holes. Looking at the size of the holes that we passed through after struggles, mainly taught us not to underestimate ourselves and to just keep going. Also, we made sure we guarded and had each other’s back because to make sure everyone was safe and sound. 

Risks aside, the 3 hours Batu Maloi Cave exploration trip offered us a challenging and memorable experience for those who dare to enter. 

Thank You, All 😍

Service: 4/5 👌
Price: 3/5, cheaper by group 💰

An Important Element of Leadership : Planning

'A goal without a plan is just a wish'

- Antoine de Saint- Exupery

When you consider leadership, and what kinds of things make an extraordinary leader, something that rings the bell is planning. Incredible leaders think of incredible plans. Some record them while some come up with them on the fly. In any case, planning is a significant leadership expertise since it provides guidance on the best way to achieve a goal. 

So how does planning help in leadership?

1. Set Expectations

One of the principle advantages of a plan is that it goes about as a communication device. Individuals will know when they ought to begin something and when they need to have it wrapped up, to know when things will occur, giving them some certainty of what is to be expected. A plan additionally enables a manager to appear as thought they have put some idea into what they are doing.

2. Allocate Resources

Numerous projects and tasks struggle in light of the fact that there are no perfect individuals accessible to take the necessary steps. Without a plan, you will never know how many individuals you need or even when you might require them. This implies that you will be stuck in an endless circle of 'We will know the answer when we get there'. 

If any extra work is going to require help from your team, you need to understand how much effort is involved so you can hire in some more help to your usual work. At the end of the day, a plan is for everyone - not simply the person making the plan!

3. Hold People Accountable

Without a plan and due dates, the work would just proceed until someone gets around to finish it. Be that as it may if there are leaders who comprehend the significance of planning and holding people to datelines, abruptly individuals would start complying to the said deadlines. 

Keep in mind that to hold people responsible, there should be clear expectations and consequences for missing due dates. Consequences do not have to severe, yet they have to exist. In the event that everyone just shrugs and moves on, no one would learn anything.

In simple words, planning in relationship could be done as follows :-

STEP 1 : Define What Generally Makes A Great Leader

STEP 2 : Take A Self-Assessment

STEP 3 : Identify Your Core Values

STEP 4 : Write A Personal Vision Statement

STEP 5 : Analyze What Other Think Of You

STEP 6 : Identify Your Current And Lacking Leadership Skills

STEP 7 : Set Goals

STEP 8 : Write An Action Plan

Things to Ponder : Your completed personal leadership development plan speaks on where you are currently and where you would head to after this. Thus, revisit the plan frequently, refreshing it and tweaking it as required, so that it reflects where are you on the journey to becoming an incredible leader with perfect leadership skills.

consistent delegacy of authority facilitate taking up of new activities and meeting new
demands. By being organized, one becomes well prepared for tasks as their required to learn
to be on time for events. It also helps stimulate innovation and creativity. It helps people to
think in a creative manner and to think out of the box to make sure it’s different from others.

identify which member is well suited to accomplish the task. With the division of jobs, work
becomes very smoothly and systematically. Next, you start grouping the jobs and separate the
departments of the work. Related and similar jobs are grouped together under one
department, this way one will not be confused and it will look neat and tidy. Thirdly, you
start assigning the job to people who is capable to finish the task. Each person is assigned to a
duty that matches his/her skills and qualification. Lastly, a report is done. Once a group are
assigned to their jobs, a leader is then recruited, this then helps members under the leader to
update their leaders with their jobs. The leader then makes sure that all task is being
accomplished on time.

In conclusion, being organise is important as it helps one become responsible and well
organised. By having an organised plan and mind set, you become more determined to finish
your task and not procrastinate om your assigned tasks. “There are people who make things
happen, there are people who watch things happen. To be successful, you need to be a person
who make things happen.” – Jim Lovell
