Task 1
Teams must find 3 masked man in 3 different locations (in a specific sequence) get their signatures to get the next passcard.

our team : We didn't know how the sequence is like. So we have to do trial and error, we went to carefour subang, he said he's not the first, went back to taylors , she said she's not the 1st, when to ftz asia cafe, thought it was closed ..but decided to go in, then FOUND. went back to taylors, say not the 2nd, ran to carefour, got the signature, walked back to taylors to get the 3rd and off we go..

Task 2
Get to the counter, to make 10sets of egg mayo sandwiches, selling them at RM5 minimum, and then return the earlier RM20 to the counter.

our team: Flew to the counter, get what is necessary, finish packing and preparing the sandwiches in 10minutes, sold everything in 10minutes (we managed to catch up here) so it was all great ...

Task 3
Find a lake in SS12 near SJMC and Metro something. Cross-stitch S A C per member per letter, to get your 4th task.

our team: RAN ALL THE WAY THERE, dengan semartnya SAC committee decided to put their station right at the other end, so we somehow crawled to the place started stitching.

mY ever 1st time (i know how to sew but not stitch) .. then ar.. the string keep getting tangled.. but manage to be the 3rd team to complete... and off we went..for the 4th task

Task 4
Detour: choose A: MONKEY BAR, B: PLANKS, C: MOUTH
Locate a playground in SS15 housing area, with swings and slides.

our team: ss15 SUPER ALOT OF PLAYGROUND. we got worried, cause we found one and it wasn't that. look left right, spotted someone YELLOW..ran to it, and decided monkey bar (thinking that should be just pyshical hor) mana tau.. have to dig for RAW chicken liver, do monkey bar, pass to 2nd teamie, 2nd teamie chew the chicken liver pass to ME.. i go down the slide with chicken liver, throw down the bucket and needs to repeat FIVE times.

mE SUPER FAT You all know la.. so hard to start sliding down due to extreme huge butts.. so hard to STOP at th eend due to inertia, omg..etime i LAND ON THE GROUND WITH MY ARSE.. so embarassing.. and it tasted like.. omg.. omg.. completed within 3minutes (which was fast: cause the time limit is 6mins)


Task 5
To blend your previous task time, and make your own adventurace. Travel to Bandar Utama by any means of public transport. Upon reaching go to coffee's house for your next task.

our team: We made 1st mistake (it was me actually) for not checking the entire envelope (got 2 piece of paper) so we wasted lots and lots of time there for figuring out where are we suppose to go. Then we went for toilet break. and decided to head to the clue in the 1 paper we saw. Took a transit from Subang to kelana jaya to bu. (thank god ,we didn't wait to long for the buses, spent our 1st RM12) and my teamie ask me to check if there's another paper. So we found and I felt so bad. We got to know how to get to housing area in BU7

Bus stopped behind OU, we walked past jalan 2/1 (with the help of a map book) and through asking, we manage to get to 7/3 in a really short time. We knew that this coming task is related to YUCKY stuff. And as predicted, we are to drink 1cup each of a blended mixture (depending on the detour you choose on the previous task, and the time you took) .. so it was 5 ingredients (something chocolate in colour, margerine, onion garlic were blend to gether) then add raw egg inside each cup. Gosh it tasted like SHIT... seriously, but I gulped in everything very fast. can't bear to slowly sip.. help my friend with the other half cup .. and I can't do it no more.

While waiting, the checkpoint master gave me lunch (which was roti canai) then ask me want CURRY anot. I say i cannot eat anything .. not after what i drank.. my teammies agreed too.
So bout 20mins time, we finished and left for the 6th task.

Task 6
Go and cycle across obstacles (hills curves and slopes) to get to your next task all members need to complete.

Our team: Michelle Tak tahu cycle punya..tahu pun tak tahu brake. tapi nak pergi dulu seperti biasa, fell twice start all over again, push myself to the limits and reach the finishing line. Both my teammies were great. they completed in one go. (paiseh la .. m d weakest) hahaha..
ronnie's team was cute: the girl.. curly? the name? hahaha..she went offtrack but still cycling,came halfway back, u-turned again and continued.. so funny.. and off we go to the next task which was HELL to me.

Task 7
Go to lembah kiara opposite sk ttdi (ii) and count the planks on the wooden bridge wearing some stone (sek chun) slippers. OUCH

Our team: It was hard for us to get a taxi, who at first very unwilling to fetch us there, we got down, and ask around, found some good taxi drivers, drove us to the 2nd door to the park. (rm7)
we search and search couldn't find the checkpoint master, omg..they were at the main entrance, our team and another wasted so much time there, then we ran back down to start enduring the torture.

this was the hardest challenge for me. We climbed up hill, stairs, with that pair of shoes. I was upset and unhappy.. pushing pushing myself. but luckily one of our teammies, jo was good, so she did the counting herself as she was ahead of us, we walk to the bridge and came back. it took us 2hours and more. and we head down to KL for the next task.

Task 8
Locate the newly opened prestigious mall in KL, and perform your next task. Road block: one team member, to identify 3 watches from a book, go to swatch outlet and point out the 3 watches before getting the next clue


Our team: ran out, took a cabbie, (RM13)reached pavillion in 15mins, and found 2 other teams with us, we had trouble cause the pavilioon management don't allow crowds to create chaos in the mall, so all 3 teams were delayed about 10minutes, but we got it deducted from our time. tEAMMIE went, after 3 times, all 3 teams couldn't spot the last watch. Then came rescue, and my teammie found (and other team followed him .. yer) and got our next clue.

I waited with my other teammie and other teams, chatted and talked and analyse those behind and ahead of us.

Task 9
Find a foreigner, teach him/her negaraku before the next task


oUR TEAM: so panic, never read finish start looking for foreigners around the golden triangle..until we were scolded by our guide, then we look..owh.. the clue (suppose to unscramble the words, and head to dataran merdeka)

since kl is my area, and i'd been taking buses everywhere anywhere back in high school.. finally i'm in use. hahahaha.. brought team to the correct bus station, and board the bus that heads there( one team was with us, the other decided to take cab again..super rich)
ahahaha..and reached dataran merdeka..

super hard to spot foreigners, one went , I only know train station ( =S ) and a singaporean wasn't too helpful. Spotted a family on the field, i APPROACHED and ask, if they were local, they said no, expatriate from india. BINGO.. i started singing.. teach them whole song, then the entire family sang with us, so lovely.. really lovely.. i felt so touch they were there to help.

Then it started to drizzle.. we got our next clue:

Task 10
Locate this shop ( a photo given) and a series of number as clues.

ouR TEAM: the photo wasn't much of help because most buildings in central market, masjid jamek petaling street area looks the same. so we started asking around, and some said the shop already closed down, some pointed right, some pointed left. very helpful indeed. Teammie found out the numbers are referring to a name: petaling street.

OFf WE RAN to the place, and started asking around. no one knew where it was, fingers all over left right centre. But finally, someone who knows where it is and we found the shop

the task? cocuro? tak tahu macam mana eja... its a maths solving puzzle, similar to sudoku, using only numbers 1-9 have to fill in the boxes that adds up to the total on the right or left box. We finished it in a while, then got another clue that leads us to our final destination.

Without finishing the crossword puzzle (2nd clue) we found out that we are going back to TBS. so off we went looking for taxis that are WILLING to take us to TBS with only RM14.

one cabbie went : RM40
The other RM30
one was like : no money ar? take bus la..don't take taxi - it's a chinese anyway-how degrading.

Decided to give up and take bus already cause running out of time. Jo decided to give one more try, and found a cabbie, its funny ,he took us, we were all kecoh-ed asking we wanna go there the fastest. and he only said one thing. If you wanna reach subang fast, diam and listen to me.

Off i went quiet. he took the NPE : we were quite worried that he didn't hear us saying we only had RM14 left. cause he re-asked us if we are heading to SS14. .. we started praying throughout. and when we reach TBS and gave him RM14, he took it. OMG.. WE FELT LIKE IN HEAVEN.

Ran down thinking that we already won (knowing who's ahead and behind).. we found alien, and she told us roadblock . (i volunteered) So we head to the lift, 7 levels, at each there will be a number, remember the sequence than come down get the next clue.

I took 1st round to get the 4levels correct and the remaining 2 times to get the last 3 levels correct. We suppose to complete a math equation , and give the correct answer.

And it is ONE. the answer is ONE.

THen we were like all excited till they say go MAIN CAMPUS. we were like running as if got tiger chase (found another team packing and congratulate them- got 2nd) so we ran, and reach the final place, got 3rd and drinking red bull already. Haih..fnaly all over.

Fun..but suffering now lor! Backaches and all..hmmm next year join again must get number 1 lol..hahaha.. kla.. long boring post without pics i noe..soon soon on facebook. toodles
