Kicking off the new year the new way ......

To quote Ming on Facebook: 
After all the treasure hunting we have done in 2010, we have decided to do New Year differently, by organizing a treasure hunt that guarantees one of US (amongst friends) will win.

And so we did.

The whole ordeal kicked off a month ago, when Ming and I started informing a group of friends about our "plan" to arrange a hunt ... where the participants only consisted of ... well ..... friends. It was then too, that Ming started drafting the questions and "tested" them on me one fine day. As indicated in my previous post, Val too, did a second round of recce to ensure that the "standard" wasn't set too high for "newbies".

Hunt day arrived, and at 9.30 this morning, a total of 6 teams (consisting of 2 members per team) met up at Ming's house, prepared for a day of "torture". Upon flag off, Ming and myself headed off to SS2 too for breakfast, and of course, watch the participants "suffer". Dao joined in the fun subsequently and chauffeured us around to capture pictures of the teams in action. =)

Wai Kong & Yi Ven
(Team Farties)

Corrie & boyfriend

Ai Lin & Edwin

Sean & Yie Loon
(Team Shure Lose! - with the exclamation mark)

Aik & Foo

Dao Sheng
(who brought us around to hunt for the hunters)

The "tormentors"

With a minimal entry fee of RM40 per team, we prepared lunch for everyone and split up the remainder as "cash prizes" for the top three teams.








After everyone had rested for a bit and filled up their tummies, Ming presented the answers to the teams ... which brought about the following facial expressions.......

Corrie and boyfriend

Mei Wern & Jerome

Edwin looking duh .....

Yi Ven & Ai Lin


And the winning teams ......

No. 3: Team Shure Lose!

No. 2: Mr Happy and Little Miss Sunshine

No. 1: Aik & Foo
(the team which claimed would come up with an "original, provocative and witty team name that will leave the rest of the competition awed, jealous as well as frightful whenever they see or mention the team name" ... which NEVER came about!)

I really do hope that everyone had an enjoyable time, despite the hot weather n' lousy traffic around SS2 today. I know I did.  =)
