Treasure Hunt 2009...

Destination: Lumut
Distance: 290 km
Time: 9 hours
Stress: Limitless
Fun: Limitless

backed by our past success (8,9,10,12th place) in the previous bank treasure hunt, we were aiming to get higher or at least acheive the same goal.

this time round, it was tougher. firstly was the distance, and mainly the questions. we couldn't even answer the first 2 q's. but we really pushed hard. we have 2 cars this time round compared to last round's 4 cars.

it was quite a stretching 290km on the drivers but this time was better prepared with rehydration salts and 100 plus. nearing our goal, anxiety was building and i was driving faster cause i just want to get out of the car and don't want to drive anymore. haha... my eyebrows were aching cause i was frowning in concentration and thinking nearly all the time.

during the Answer Presentation, i was counting and we only had 50% correct... alright... goodbye top 15 or top 10. and we were so hoping that our team will be called out as soon as possible starting from 25 placing and upwards cause we don't think we could have got higher. but none. my colleagues still hoping, while i already accepted the loss, BUT we got 9th and 12th place! alright!!!

i guess that's how much tougher it was this time round. the points were read out as well. by the 12th position, the difference was just a +1 point from each position upwards. arghhh... costly mistakes cost us about 5 places... yikes! well, now we have more experience.

anyways, swiss garden damai laut was our pitstop. beautiful place. i couldn't make it for last years church camp which was here. but i came here anyway in the end. i had so much fun taking silouette photos with the setting sun; my colleagues being models. i haven't been successful but with lots of trials and errors, this time round was pretty good.

all in all, spending time with colleagues in a 5 star hotel is time well spent. and Manchester United 1 - Bolton 0. hahaha....
