CHS Amazing Race

What an experience! It was definitely like the one that I watch on television... The Amazing Race.. Initially thought that it won't be really in a big scale... but did not know that it really was, in terms of the places that we need to go to!





This CHS Amazing Race was I think the first time it was held. The registration forms were given out very early in February and was intended to be held two weeks earlier.... but because of unforeseen circumstances needs to be postponed. Myself, Ben, TK and CW are in the same team. The fee was quiet high actually, but we don't really mind that too much since we are all there for the experience...





Let's get straight to the interesting part: the race. Like normal lah... the QM teachers and the principal Puan Tan Lin reminded us again about that our safety is the most important... be careful when crossing the roads and things like that... but the people were not feeling bored by those 'speeches'... Then Puan Tan Lin flagged us off... and the race began...lor!

First was identifying pictures of certain buildings or places in our school in black and white... that one we just could not figure out what was it... but when we were passing up we could see other people's answers... aiyah... we all did not think about it...

Next we rushed to UM for our next task... well, Ben called KH just to make sure that there is a pond there for kayaking... We ran... yeap, all the way to UM because we just couldn't find ourselves a taxi... but again something slipped out of our minds... asking for transportation from people...well, that one I could not brave myself to do...haha! So, we reached UM and the task was a 'roadblock' (in terms of Amazing Race), where 2 people have to kayak in the pond and search for QM frisbees with our number on it... We spent the most time there... as Ben and TK could not see the frisbees without their glasses on (at first I thought I would go down there with my glasses on if the other two are so afraid of losing them, but during the prize giving ceremony being held later that day, it was revealed that someone actually lost their glasses in the exact pool...scary...)

Next was to go to Old Town to look for some secret agent.... then we went back to school to drink some kind of vege drink, went to Taman Jaya to do a detour. One is to look for 5 units of 1 cent coins made in 2006 from somewhere (I forgot what was it....) and the other one was to solve a soduku puzzle (I was the first one to suggest that we do that!) We solved the puzzle quite quick actually. Another place that we went to was Bukit Gasing (we took a cab there) and climbed up until we reached the tower... wah, I was so exhausted when we reached there!

Other challenges that we had to face was the 'human flat pyramid' thing... I don't know how to describe it but it involves us putting our heads on the other team member's knees and stay in that position for 3 minutes.... wah! That one also I 'bertahan' so hard to complete the task! For one to complete this task that group really needs teamwork! (Hope the QM snapped some pics of us during that task!)

So, the very last task that we did was to make 'roti canai'.... it was fun... but for me I really don't know how to make them! Also, we need to stomach in our 'masterpiece' (that was the exact word that the clue stated!)!! With our stomach full, the four of us crossed the finish line and we were, according to them in 22nd place.... but this placing have not factored in the time penalties that we and the other teams pick up along the race.

It was all over at around 3pm, and next was the prize giving ceremony. All in all, it was really a great experience, and if there is another kind of this things in future, I really don't want to miss out!
