Timeout Challenge VII

Going for my first TOS motor hunt. I was feeling excited even before the hunt. My team mates were feeling the same too. One of them even thought the hunt was a week earlier. Another team member which had to work on night shift took half day off, to get some sleep before heading off to Malacca. That goes to show how keen we are on treasure hunting.

The day before was briefing day. Lee Quan and I were nearly the last team to arrive for the briefing. We were caught in such a bad jam it took us nearly 1.5 hours to reach the National Science Centre.

Hunt day, flag off was at the Regalia Business Centre car park. We were caught by surprise there were 2 legs for this hunt. Leg 1, walk hunt just a short one with 5 questions. We managed to finish that fast and headed off for the Sungai Besi highway to start Leg 2. When we arrived there, we sort of got confused with the roads and was practically lost even before Leg 2 was started. We decided to call TOS to ask for directions and actually we were just beside the answer for Q1. It was really funny, asking TOS we are now at Country Heights, are we at the right place. The guy on the other side, was like uh uh ... dun really know how to answer us as it was the answer for Q1. After we figured out that was answer for Q1 we burst out in laughter and continued our journey. It was quite smooth sailing until the part where the questions were positioned at the wrong tulip. Being novices, we hard some problem and did not know how to answer and decided to skip it and move on without realizing the answers were actually at the next tulip.

We reached the finishing point without any penalty. Results were announced but we did not win anything. I am not too disappointed as we are all still new and took this as a learning opportunity and to have fun at the same time. Our next stop will be the Assunta Hunt also by TOS on Oct 28.
