I just found out that the delicious "Sarawak Noodle" that I've been eating since 2006 was the Mee Kolok Maddie was talking about... lol

Whee.... I went treasure hunting today... It's been awhile since I last hunted so I was a bit excited about it =) The hunt is organised by City Revival Community Services Berhad and Time Out Solutions (A treasure hunt and event organising company). The hunt is a drive hunt, requiring a team of 4 people to drive around a pre-determined path to answer questions by finding signages that befit the clues found in the questions. The hunt was split into two categories; regulars, and non-regulars(novices), to be fair to those who do not take part in treasure hunts regularly or who are newbies. My sisters' team and my team were under the 'novice' category.

Woke up at around 7am and then Steven picked me and my two sisters up to Regalia Business Centre, near Summit mall. My sisters joined Steven and his wife in Steven's car and my team consisted of me, Arun and Samson; short of one person. Samson drove, Arun navigated and I was the passenger behind. After a short final briefing, we were flagged off at 8.10am sharp. (was supposed to be 8.00am) We were given a set of tulips(directional guides) and a set of 30 questions to answer, as well as 4 treasures to purchase for the children's home and 5 road safety questions (made compulsory by the government). Anyway it didn't matter whether you answered the road safety questions correctly as they did not carry any points. Treasures were items that you need to identify and purchases by cracking the riddle that was given. So in total we had 4 riddles to crack.

The hunt took us around Regalia Business Centre, then to Taipan, and then we had to submit our treasures to the City Revival Girl's Home in USJ11 before heading to SS15. After a short time in SS15 we headed towards Bandar Puteri, Puchong. The business centres there had so many signages it gave us a big headache trying to look for the answer. At this point we were trying to answer all the questions as fast as we could as we had already used up 4 hours to answer 20 questions. So there was an hour left to answer 10 questions! RUSH RUSH RUSH!

We managed to complete the questions at about 12.45pm. OH NO! We now have to 'fly' to the finish line - Bukit Jalil Golf and Country Resort. On the way there we saw the scene of an accident on our side of the road. It wasn't a very serious accident but it caused vehicles to slow down and avoid the cars involved in the accident. Thank God it just happened so the jam wasn't that bad yet. And so we reached our final destination at 1.05pm just 5 minutes short of 5 hours. After handing in our answer sheet, we had lunch/high tea which was delicious (probably because we were hungry, the food wasn't that good). After waiting for a long time, debriefing commenced. They started with a short picture slideshow of us hunting and then proceeded to giving us the answers for all the questions as well as the treasures. Shortly after, we had the prize-giving ceremony. And our team was first to be called out!(Which means we got the last prize. haha) We were 18th in a field of about 44 cars. Not bad considering we only have three people in our team and Samson was hunting for the first time (Arun and I took part in the last charity hunt few years back, and that was our first. So we were a bit rusty as well... tee hee.) Our prize consisted of 4 ETSU exercise mats, 4 Eagle Ranch goodie bags and a rice cooker for a total of RM780. We haven't decided what to do with the rice cooker yet haha. The top prize for 'novice' category included 4 Sony Ericsson mobile phones(w810i), free stay at Eagle Ranch(I forgot how many nights, probably 1 or 2), 4 etsu exercise mats and a Munchy's hamper which totals about RM3000! (I want the phone )=) The same prizes were given for the 'regulars' category.

After a long, tiring hunt, we all went home content and happy (at least we won something. haha) and feeling good because we've contributed towards the children's home through having fun in this treasure hunt. I hope they'll start making this event an annual thing so I can take part again next year! =)

70's show was a blast!


There was fun, games, cool costumes, dancing, funky music and even the Malaysian Elvis himself! His name is HT Long and he was the speaker for the night. (He's Ps. Christopher Long's elder bro!)


The night started with a classic ice-breaker... Form a circle and reach across to grab two different person's hands. Then untangle yourselves. :D


Next up was worship!
The worship featured groovy, funky songs like:
1. Hillsong - Joy In The Holy Ghost
2. The Parachute Band - Jesus Is Real
3. Unknown Artist - Power To Ya
4. Hillsong - With All I Am


Arun on electric guitar.

I played bass. =)

"All God's people sing hallelujah!"

After worship was sharing by HT Long. He talked about the birth of rock and roll and the history of music. As well as giving us his testimony of how he got to know the Lord. Finally he gave us this reminder:"Don't stop listening to christian music!" He also sang the song 'He Is My Everything', rock 'n' roll version xD He had some very cool dance moves too!


After that we had a dance performance by the girls...


Last but not least we had the best dressed prize-giving ceremony! Two candidates were picked from the guys and two from the girls.
And the nominees for best dressed are:

Theresa, Sheryl(My sis), Erwin(me!) and Richard! Woohoo!
And the winners are Sheryl and Richard! Hehe.

Richard's pants were just awesome. He actually got some tight pants and then asked his aunt to sew on those flappy white stuff at the bottom... Kewl!


After all that fun and excitement, we finally chillaxed and had our supper(dinner) :D
More pics below...

My first ever ultimate disc. It's called 'mydisc' and is made locally by (Global Sports Partners). =D I emailed GSP and wanted to browse through a collection at their office but they weren't open today. So, they told me some discs were available at Perry's Kedai Runcit in USJ4. So i promptly drove my car out to the shop. As I looked around in the shop. I could only see 1 disc. And it's pink in colour. So I was like:

Me:" Excuse me. Is this the only disc left?"
Shopkeeper:"Do you see any other disc around here?"

I got my answer. Haha. So I bought it la no choice. Then I went to a small field behind my house to practice some throws. After a few throws I found that I could throw a decent forehand flick now wheee! Tried to throw a hammer as well but didn't turn out so well. :P Ok lah still beginner ma.



First day of ownership and already some scratches on my disc. Haha. The field had some rocky patches and some of my throws landed there. Sigh. Oh well.




BTW, for those of you who don't know what ultimate is, here's a brief explanation.

"Ultimate is a fast-paced, non-contact sport played by both women and men of all ages. The object is to score points by throwing the disc to your teammates until one of them catches it in the opponent’s endzone. The playing area is like a football pitch except the scoring is done in endzones (like American football) instead of goals. The Defense is doing all it can to keep the Offense from catching the disc. Any time a throw is not caught inbounds, whether it goes out of bounds, hits the ground, is knocked down, or is intercepted a change of possession takes place (called a “turnover”). A player cannot run with the disc. All progress must be made in the air."

And here's a vid containing highlights from ultimate tournaments so you can see what this sport is all about. =)

Hey. I really don't know why i started this blog. But now that I have, hopefully someone will get me a decent camera so i can freeze some moments in my life worth remembering =).

UNTIL THEN, expect long lines of words and more words that will bore you out of your mind...

Btw, since I started staying in nilai my life has changed a lot... made many new friends and met lotsa interesting people, as well as getting closer to those I already know. Late night mamak/cc sessions, mondays(official sports day for me) and CF, cg, nk sessions, and pool has grown in size in my life's pie chart. I'm glad I decided to stay here. However here's where the problem begins... There is never enough time to spend with all your friends and sometimes they feel left out when you tell them what you did the night before without them and stuff like that. Regardless, i think I'm having fun here and let's hope it stays that way =D
