The first was in 2006 - then teaming with WK, Angie and Wong PW. This is the hunt that supposedly ended the hunting life of Mr. Wong. We went home empty handed. The second was in 2007 - with WK and Angie. The first time where there was only 3 members and we won a prize - 10th place. An achievement. This year we - myself, WK and Angie - teamed up with Fong.
Unlike the previous year, where the hunt flagged off at the Klang Hokkien Association, this year was in Klang Executive Club. As such we missed out on the Association's Bak-kut-teh breakfast. So, no breakfast this year, but we have the Starbuck's Coffee - provided FOC to participating hunters.
During briefing, the COC mentioned that the first question would be a tough one. I repeated that to the rest. So, in a certain way it brought the mood down, and what's more early, early morning trying to crack a difficult question, psychologically we were already out. The question is actually straight forward, but its the spotting the right words 'within' that is not working.
Hunt briefs:
30 questions - 15 in Part 1, finish that and exchange for another 15 in Part 2 at mid-point control - 5 points each - total 150 points
2 Treasures - 10 points each - total 20 points
I guess this could be considered as one of the easier hunt, with 5-6 tough ones - which need to crack the brain slightly more. The rest should be a breeze for regulars. In the first part, we actually spent about 20 minutes (or perhaps more) on a question for the fugitive.
Overall, it is a good hunt for us, as far as points and positions are concerned. We were placed 7th with 145 points (out of a total 170 points) - dropping 5 questions. We even out-placed some of the Master teams.
