being a pirate for da weekend

Ok, this is gonna be long and also so many pix for the entry…….here goes.....

It was 620 in the morning, and the song Beautiful Gurl of the Chipmunk version was playing on my phone. It is basically my alarm tone from my phone. So i snoozed it and went back to bed. Then 5 minutes later, it was on again and this time i switched it off and went to take my shower and get ready for the journey. Oh yeah, i am going for a treasure hunt for the weekend. This is my first treasure hunt in my life and kindda excited bout it. There are 4 members in my team. The team members were myself, Fatin, Shahran and also Helmi. Left the house bout 730 and arrived at the office bout 8 in the morning. When I've arrived, there were people getting ready for the treasure hunt. Some were bringing stuffs to the car, some were sticking stickers to the car (oh yeah, btw, jazzy's number (our team/the ratatatatacklers) was number 2)........and some were doing stretching and also lite exercise.......and as for me, am still having sleepy eyes and also blur face of what's happening.............

registered myself and also met with the rest and put their stuffs in the car...........shahran brought titbits which we had listed down few days back.........ahahahahahaha........and he told us that his wife had doubts of him bringing so much munchies to the treasure hunt................it looks more like a picnic rather than a treasure hunt...............hjehehehehehe..............ok, so with the briefing from the organizers, we set off for the treasure hunt..........the first clue that we had to solve is at the office itself before we could proceed to the next place that we had to go which is at Sepang F1 circuit........somehow, jazzy felt kindda heavy through out the journey........kuang kuang kuang.......hehehehe........on da way, everyone in the car had to "report" themselves to their love ones/ partner...........started with me in the car when i called sweetie and the rest was like, eh alamak, haven't reportkan diri..........hehehehehehe.........so everyone took out their phones and was like calling their love ones who by the way are still in bed.............hahahahahaha.............


the start of the treasure hunt.........answering questions at the office

captain/driver of the day

fatin, the navigator

the passengers


upon arriving at the Sepang F1 circuit, we had to pose with 3 umbrellas and also a flag..............so the 4 of us became cam-whorers as usual...........ahahahahaha................. and they gave us a set of questions that we had to answer..........we head our way to the Shell station at Seremban R&R........................the on the way, we were racing with each other with the speed limit that is set by the govt...............yeah rite, hahahahahaha..................but then we were driving as berhemah as we could..........when we arrived at the station, we had to fill up the tank of RM6.88...........and we were like shoot, we can't set the price at the pump.........Fatin volunteered to fill up the tank in which she exceed a bit by 3 cents.............so it's not that bad actually..............kudos to her...........


Trying to solve some questions at Sepang F1 circuit

dun worry fatin, if u work here and do this regularly, surely u hit the target.......hehehehehe


we head our way to the next clue in which it was at the Seremban town................the place is where we will have lunch and also our next challenge in which we had to use a sauce bottle, pump air out and spray air behind a ping pong ball around a track...............we came second for the challenge in which we were jumping up and down coz happy for it.................hahahahaha..........so like monkeys man we all.................hahahahaha..................then lunch was served.........basically lunch was indian food..............seriously, it was very very spicy...........the whole team was chugging down water like niagara falls..............after lunch, the whole team went to the washroom to do number 1 just in case that we need to go during the trip and that will cost us time...........

the F1 squirting competition
smile
smile again
the whole team luvs to cam-whore


the next place that we had to go was eagle ranch in PD..............there we had to do 2 challenges..............one was go karting of 2 rounds (performed by 2 team members) and also a track challenge.................the go kart challenge was performed by me and also Fatin...............rumours has it that we clocked the fastest time for the challenge............ yippie..............then it was the obstacle course..........whereby 3 team members had to do the challenge and obviously the 3 guys of the team (myself, helmi and also shahran) had to do the challenge while fatin was jaga-ing our belongings.................the first challenge was to get climb over a bar that was made out of log which was bout 9-10 feet high.........at first i managed to climb up the barrier out of sudden gravity did its job by pulling me down and i was hugging the log and dropping back.........oi oi oi oi...........i was shouting.........the 2 guys of my team member had to push me one from my body and the other on me arse........sigh out of places rite..........then we managed to went through some other obstacles and then hop around some barriers in which one team member had to eat a cili padi and the other a cracker had to eat crackers with wasabi cream on top.............so i hop up to the obstacle and without thinking twice, i straight away took a cili padi and eating it like a cracker as if there's nobody's business...............at first it was ok, then as the seeds were breaking up, then u can feel the kabooooooooooom in ur mouth...............and when i look back to my other team mates they were like, eh ko pergi la makan, aku tak mau.......they were arguing of who to eat the cracker and the wasabi...........doink..........hahahahaha.........so helmi jump over and ate the cracker with wasabi cream.............next, we had to dress up a team member in which we choosed helmi to be the victim in which he had to chug down a bottle of water while we had to dress him up with jackets, pua chu kang boots, helmets and also wear him gloves............... i dun know how he can chug the whole mineral bottle at one go..........well i guess after the wasabi thingy he doens't really mind...........we edge the other team that was racing with us on the last barrier whereby we dun care we just push helmi over the barrier...........hahahahahaha........sorry mate, we got to do if winning is the outcome..............


tadaaaaaaaaa, i managed to crack the code using my phone

representing my team in the go-kart challenge

aaaaaaaaa, the gravity is doin it's work, so the guys had to push my arse to get me over.....sigh

aum aum aum, me eating the cili padi...........damn pedas wei..........kabooom

Helmi is opening his mouth coz he had just eaten crackers with wasabi cream......leks la brader....

when we went back to the car, had a bar of chocolate to cool of me tongue after the explotion and also chugged down water to cool it off..........the next clue that we had to go was the treasure hunting around melaka..........we went through alor gajah town and all the way to the jonker street not to forget to some housing area.........errrrrrrrrrr.....yeah i think so it was a housing area...........yerp........definitely housing area..............upon arriving at the jonker street car park, we had to do our fear factor challenge which was to take out 5 pebbles and spell SHELL.................so unfortunately Helmi had to do the task............hehehehehe.......kudos to him...........so we did that bout like 30++ seconds and we went through jonker street to
finish all the questions that we had to do..........we submitted the forms @ 430 and went survey jonker street and also took pix there........basically it is like petaling street the place but tourist luv these kinds of places........ we had the nyonya cendol there which was very nyummy and very thick the texture of the coconut milk................


helmi checking out the eels........

later we headed to the hotel and arrived there bout 6 and checked in....................i had a migrain when arrived at the hotel..........i guess it must be the thinking and also the guessing of questions that were being presented to us............the dinner started at 630 but then we decided to go down bout 730.................. the theme of the dinner is mixed culture in which by the way is another name for Fashion Disaster Nite whereby we had to wear a mixture of culture clothes to suit the nite..........so me, shahran and helmi decided to wear a robe with a cap on top...........the robe symbolizes the east and the cap symbolizes the west......................and indirectly everyone was calling us Chipmunks becoz in the cartoon chipmunks wear robe..........hahahahahaha.................... and dun be suprise, with the idea that came from yours truly, shahran won best dress for male category...........hehehehehe..............

the best part of the presentation was when the safety briefing was presented by the head of security of the hotel............i think this was his first time giving speeches in front of mass crowd............and probably is he local coz the way he talks is that he speaks malay in melaka style...............he was giving his speech with his hands literally shaking and i was trying so hard to cover my emotions to burst out laughing..........my face was red and i took off my hat and covered my face coz i dun want him to see that i'm laughing at him..........so bad rite............there was one part whereby he said, if there was a fire occured in the hall, please do panic and head to the fire escape door which is located to the right.............. and once u have exit the door, please RUN to the beach.........and as of that, i was laughing under the table already..............hahahahahaha..........sorry pakcik can't help it....................and the next thing he was talking bout if a fire were to happen in the room...................he said, please do not panic, and press 0 to call for help and dun go out from the room...and i was like huh?????............i mean come on pakcik, u want us to talk to u on the phone while we are burn to death..........hehehehehe...............might as well we jump out of the window......... hehehehehe........... and then finally the pak cik couldn't stand it anymore and admit that he was gugup (nervous) in front of us.............then we LOL all of us.........hehehehehehehe.................

after the dinner, there were some activities being made and also discussion of the questions that were being presented to us during the treasure hunt................ it is quite interesting the questions and also answers on how it is link to each other.........later it was prize giving ceremony...............and without expecting to be on high achievers, we came 7th out of all the contestant which is not bad i think considering this is my first time treasure hunting............... we won 30 bucks of petrol card from shell which i think is good rather than nothing................the dinner finished bout 1030ish and the plan was that we are suppose to go out for supper at ikan bakar..........but it seems that my migrain haven't yet heal and decided to hit the sack bout 11ish..............

the chipmunks........... simon, theodore and alvin

the ratatatatacklers........me, shahran, helmi and fatin

goofing around after the dinner

the next morning, we woke up bout 730 and took shower and went for breakie bout 8ish..................not many people came down when we arrived there.........i guess they are still in their lalaland..............tired from yesterday's event maybe......... then we had a teambuilding session in which we had to build a car out of cardboards and also sate sticks with the help of masking tape only...........we build out our car quite fast actually..........considering the car was only build from the last 3 minutes that was given to us due to we were planning on how to build the car perfectly as we have planned earlier.........and to our suprise, it went quite well the car.......the competition was whose car can go the furthest and we in 4th places (i think)......hehehehe................later there was 2 other activity that was made us all wet........hehehehehe...........



having breakie

oi, people wanna eat la.........ok la ok la, peace~~~!!!!


literally, after the activity, we were really really pancit and had to rush to check out from the hotel............... lunch was served at the hall and after some cam-whoring, we head back to KL bout 2........................on the way to the office, i was really really sleepy and the rest of the passengers was in the lalaland already except for helmi i think coz he said he is not used to sleep in the car..........arrived at the office bout 330ish and dropped the guys back at the office and headed home which then i arrived bout 4ish....................

everyone is happy

posers as always

with the biggest boss, alisa choong

we dun care she's the boss or what, ok people, cam-whore time............

The whole gang of the treasure hunt

everyone is infected by the cam-whore syndrome


once home, i was like kabooooom in the living hall and mum woke me up and said that she's using the car to visit tok arun who's still in the hospital....................... bout 630ish, i woke up and to found out that barb was staring at me while i was making my trip to the lalaland..............all and all, the activity was great and also tiring, but hey, it's all worth it...................but then again, i didn't manage to spend as much time with sweetie for the weekend........... =(.................sigh.........

I have to be frank... The whole thing was a complete waste... We should all have driven straight to Melaka... enjoyed our cendol and ikan bakar... go shopping at Jonkers... then have a relaxing sleep at the hotel. Lunch sucked, Eagle ranch itself was okay, but the obstacle course did nothing to reinforce any concept of teamwork... I mean... chew on cili padi? wtf does that have to do with teamwork?... HSSE rules went straight out the window... at the Shell station we forgot that Shell customers should be first instead of us... I saw a little lady trying her best to disengage from her stuck position between all the cars.... and don't tell me none of you guys did not break any traffic rules... Having fun does not equate to building team spirit or even motivating people to do better. But... who am I to complain right? suck it up and bohica...
