Accountant Survival Race~

Woo~ What a nice day!! It was the 1st of May. I joined a game, held by MIA (Malaysia Institute of Accountant) It was like exploring and completing task. Although didn't win the race, but i m fulfill with the result. At least we finish the race and didn't give up.
Few days before 1st of May...
"Hey, CLK! wanna join in a game?" Daniel asked. I was blurred and don't know what was happening. But u know, ever since it is a game, it will be hard for me to turn it down. So i give a simple reply as to "bring it on~" Laugh Out Loud. Then he give me a very cute look saying, "RM10 please." My brain was coming up with "WTF!!! why need to pay?!!!" But ever since my friends are mostly joining the game, i just might as well join in to have fun. A team contains of maximum 5 people. A driver, a navigator and 3 members. Laugh Out Loud... Since i was last to know, i surely have no choice just being the 3rd member.
So the game commence at 8 in the morning. A total of 24 teams, compete to get first... So... When the clock struck 8, the navigator, Ting (this is how i call that friend of mine) came rushing down the stairs and instructed all of us(team mates) to put the game's cloth on. Laugh Out Loud... all the teams did the same... After getting double-layered, all teams are given the first clue to the first check point.
We quickly step into the car and get moving... lols... i still can remember the clue... Ting handed me the clue, and i read it out loud so everyone can help think it out... the clue goes like this...
Official Residence
~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~
Former Law & Order
Heck... first thing that came into my mind was... a court. How stupid of me... So we discussed and get ourselves to the city center where the old polis station lies. Obviously, we are going the wrong place. Then i hit jackpot! I say with pretty much confidence, "Hey guys~ will it be possible to be at the riverbank where our former polis camp is? Next to that place is a residence and the blue thing might be telling us about a river!!!" So we rushed to that place... Our beloved driver, Delon... park at a really far distance where the boat to cross the river is... so we had no choice but to run all the way to the jetty... i think is like 1 KM length... so... early in the morning run like crazy people. Luckily we got the right place! Yeah! So we take the boat across the river. We complete the task quite fast.
Laugh Out Loud... should be saying very fast!~ in less than 15 seconds, the task is completed... (i need to praise myself abit.. i m the one who complete it. XD) Here comes task 2~
We rush back to the jetty, going back to where the car is... Man~ 1KM again! tiring... Anyway, when we are in, we quickly came to guess where clue 2 is leading us. hehe... All so clever.
Checkpoint 2
Kuching bridge is falling down,
falling down falling down,
Kuching bridge is falling down,
My fair lady.
Laugh Out Loud... so we came to a conclusion that this must be telling us an event that took place few years ago where a bridge goes unstable and collapsed. We make our way there, and leading. WOW! taking the envelope that contains checkpoint 3, we move on.
Checkpoint 3
3-01-02
RPR Matang
Heck... we need to travel some distance to matang. And where the heck is RPR matang?!!! So we are wondering... blurred... my friend, Phang make a call to his uncle that lives in matang... very well... we are now heading somewhere... But with the best of luck, we are getting to the wrong place... =.='''
"Sorry, please try again."
This was the sign in that particular flat Phang's uncle lead us to. So, out of clue, we drove back to pump petrol. We decide to deduct our 2 points for information.. so a phone call is made to the Marshal of the game. He told us where to go... Laugh Out Loud! it was even more further than we thought! Luckily we went to pump some petrol before moving on... Finding checkpoint 3 took us alomost 2 hours!!! Sadly, we lose alot in checkpoint 3. When we reached checkpoint 3, we are asked to solve a accounting statement... haha... that is simple job to us as we are accounting students! So in a few minutes, it is solved... we got our envelope for checkpoint 4, we moved on.
Checkpoint 4
A drawing
LoL... it is the most easiest. We knew where to go... and yeah~ we reached there quite fast... Laugh Out Loud... Forget to mention, we 5 people, was like insane shouting in the car! And more worse, whenever we meet some slow driver, we will start cursing people! wah~ so bad~
Ok OK~ checkpoint 4 require us to cook. =.=''' 5 male trying to cook... imagine how hilarious that will be... an egg given, 2 pieces of solid oil... and we need to cook the egg... best to be hard boiled... OH MY GOD!~ Lighting up the fire is taking us like... ok... forget about this part... it just end up in a mess anyway. Laugh Out Loud... got our marks deducted, we moved on to the final destination.
Checkpoint 5
Salang Talang Talang Matang
With a picture of a people fishing
This clue... we have no idea too... So we just ask the locals... Just nice... they know. They told us to go to telaga air... lols... so we just go... GO GO GO~!!!
ok... we are here. We are like the 19th team to reach. Heck... anyway, we made it... besides, we are at least faster than some teams and 2 of them are my friends' team. We help each other on the way, telling where and how to do the task. Anyway, we had a BBQ feast there. It is tiring, but fun. Haha... we took some photo there. At least this are some of the best memories i will never forget. ^^ really looking forward to the next year's event. We will get ourselves to improve!
