This entry was previously posted on May 2010 on my old blogdrive.com. Too bad it's gone.. And now it's here again!
It's 5.00am in the morning but what the heck am I doing in a bathroom?? Brush my teeth, take a shower and bla bla bla.. Some people would probably think that I am a crazy guy taking cold shower in early morning. What is so important on that day? You betcha, It's Treasure Hunt once again! Honestly, this is the first time ever I had to wake up very early for the sake of this event. Reasons?? The event starts all the way from Cyberjaya, huhu..
Fast forward, we arrived at the canteen hall at 7.00am. We could clearly see a small group of seasoned hunters’ chit chatting among themselves as well as big crowd of new hunters. However, I'm not pretty sure if the new hunters could catch up with this game. From what I see, the Pros will have the lead advantage. Never mind, at least these new hunters can learn something from it. Good for them..
This time around, Kak Sue and I decided to split up and make up a new team. Big gamble, huh? We have 3 teams altogether with Kak Sue leading Team No.1, me leading Team No.2 and the all newbies Team No.3. Even though this is the first time Team No.3 participates in this event, I have no worries at all since they have recruited one good hunter in their team. The missing in action - Ms. Jue, hoho..
The hunt was divided into Two Parts. The First Part involves solving 4 different tasks while the Second Part is the Motor Hunt.
The first task is called DOUBLE OR NOTHING. In this task, we have to complete the blank spaces with similar alphabet to form a word.
Examples:
H_ _ DW_ _ E (Answer: HARDWARE)
WHO_ _ SA _ _ (Answer: WHOLESALE)
The second task is called HEAD AND TAIL. In this task, it is similar to the first task. The only difference is that the blank spaces are at the front and at the end of the word.
Examples:
_ RAI _ (Answer: TRAIT)
_ OAS _ (Answer: TOAST)
The third task is called ALSO KNOWN AS. In this task, we are given 10 set of pictures. Each picture represents the popular phrases that you need to figure out to get the correct answers.
Examples:
BAN ANA (Answer: SPLIT BANANA)
ONTWOE (Answer: 2 IN 1)
The last task is called LIVE, STUDY, WORK & PLAY. In this task, we are required to watch a video about Cyberjaya and answer 5 questions provided. Looks easy, but it is not!! My eyes keeps on rollin.. rollin.. rollin.. rollin..
After completed the first part, the real motor hunt begins. Get ready brains!! On your mark, get set, go cracking!! Hoho. When I browse through, there are certain questions that are pretty tough to crack. I have to really go deeper into my deep thinking brain and some serious discussions among my teammates. There are times when I completely go nuts over some questions such as this one;
Q:Loose the head for a reconstructed facial feature and it’s cool.
A: DENSO
In the end, we managed to answer 18 out of 25 motor hunt questions correctly. Not bad huh? Considering that my team is mostly newcomers, as well as Team No. 1 and Team No.3. I am proud that all of us managed to finish the hunt on the stipulated time. I know some of them are really exhausted during the hunt. Nevertheless, I am quite happy that most of them really have fun during the event. No regrets at all.
