29-30 November 2008 - The third hunt of the month. Sort of a record. This time was teaming with Fong, Angie and Wai Chee aka Fong's friend aka the Nissan Car owner.

It's a two-day hunt to Penang. First stop from KL to Bukit Beruntung. Then to Ipoh, Taiping and finally the last sector at Seberang Jaya, with the finish control at Nissan showroom at Seberang Jaya.
At the final briefing, noted 3 master's team, while the rest are mainly family teams, mostly first timers. Therefore, I was quite confident to finish at least at the top four. When the final results was announced, we came in fifth. Lost to another team by a single solitary point. Quite disappointed though. However, in this hunt, sometime happen for the first time. I was in a team that managed to pick up a lucky draw prize. Really the first time since hunting. And we were the first team to be picked - Team No.11. At the end, we managed to win (inclusive of the lucky draw prize of a service voucher by Tan Chong Motors which naturally goes to Wai Chee) a RM100 Genting Holiday Card (this goes to me), RM200 spa voucher (Angie took this) and a Pensonic cordless phone (goes to Fong). Well, each one took home something. The hotel is nice, the dinner food is above average. And we pay only RM100 for registration fee. A satisfying hunt.

The Agony of What and Where?
Two weeks back at the UMIC Hunt, the Purple Antz people said they have many What and Where questions. But I guess if that was a record, then the record was broken by YS Khong in this hunt. I don't have question paper with me, but my estimate is that it should be at least 80%. And that's where crushed our chances of a Top 4 finishing. Big lessons to be learnt here.
