The Youth Carnival Georgetown Amazing Race 2011

The Georgetown Amazing Race,
was held for the first time ever by the Youth Carnival Team this year.
And yours truly =]
was lucky enough to be a part of this very event and be the lab rat in testing this
NEW running slash puzzle solving slash tiring new competition they call
" THE GEORGETOWN AMAAAAAZING RACE "

The crowd gathering for the Georgetown Amazing Race :

There were 29 teams in total, and our team, consisting of me,
Kok Meng the backpacker :

and Jason Lee,
(the guy who injured his leg but managed to finished the race anyway)
( KUDOS to you for completing the race ! ) :

came in 19th place out of the 29 teams that were there.
Well, its now THAT BAD, you don't expect a 17 year-old to win a race do you ? haha

The CLHS teams that took part in the race :

Shi Hao, Chee Ho and Zhao Yao registering for the competition at a booth :

Girl in the red cap giving away free drink coupons :
( btw, what in the world is Max looking at ? )

Team briefing time :

OK so lemme summarise what we did in the competiton :

We Started off with a clue saying :
"Go to the park which most reminds us of the most famous stadium in England."
So the answer's WEMBLEY STADIUM.
The clue did say that the place is in fact A PARK
so we ignored WEMBLEY STADIUM and made a wrong turn ending
up @ new world PARK instead
(cos they said PARK and it was the nearest PARK we knew).
In the end we had to take a penalty and who knew that we were directed to a
carPARK @ a WEMBLEY karaoke lounge which has already closed down to get our next clue.
WHO WOULD EVER THINK OF GOING THERE ?!

Anyway~ moving on ~
We Sold a RM 6 Hotlink Tickets at Prangin Mall,
We sat on inflated balloons to POP them,

We get to find a peephole and an Agung Picture at Edelweiss Cafe,whch had tons of valuable antiques in it,
( manage to take a picture of a CLHS team when i was there )

Learned how to make beds @ Sunway Hotel using a top secret hotel bed making technique called
the ENVELOPE TECHNIQUE :

Oh ! we also made terrible egg sushi @ ATI College !

After this competition, I shall never eat what Kok Meng cooks or makes,
because the sushi he made was terrible,
not just because he made it with no gloves on,
his sushi crumbled and I had to eat his so call "sushi"
( which was now not a sushi but a plate of rice with cucumber,egg and WASABI )
from the CHOPPING BOARD T.T
( I have a video of it, will be uplooading it soon on YouTube )

Kok Meng did well with the cucumber slicing,
but boy was he terrible at sushi making.

Jason hard at work with his fried egg.

The ATI College Kitchen :

and besides ALL that I've just said, we had to slove numerous mind boggling puzzles and tasks too.

The Amazing race does sound awesome and all BUT there is one part of the race that I really hate.
The part I hate bout the race is that THEY let the participants
DRIVE THEIR OWN VEHICLES !!!
Problem now is, SOME PEOPLE OUR AGE STILL CANT DRIVE or RIDE BIKES !
SO THAT MEANS THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THEIR OWN
VEHICLES COULD GET A HEAD START ON US and you expect us to WALK?!
You know what we did? We had to waste RM50 on Taxi Fares !

Ok yea well this Amazing Race should be only opened to 18 year olds and above,
but they let us in the race so shouldnt the race be kinda tweaked a lil
to be more 17 year-old friendly ? hahaha.
( Hope I didnt offend anyone out there, Im just giving my points of view here. )

Oh well, my team mates and I did have a great time enjoying the journey across, through, around and about Georgetown City.
It is still a really great experience although
we are now extremely exhausted after being in the race since
11 in the morning till 4 in the afternoon and have our legs all crammed up now.
I doubt any one of us could even walk properly tonight, and boy am I tired,
so i guess I'll stop the blogging here.
Till next time ! Cya !
