KL Hunting
So yeah the MCKL treasure hunt was a whole lot of fun. Those who participated would know but those who didn't you missed out on a fun semi-amazing race-like adventure minus the plane rides. I'd have to day however that I somehow find last years much more enjoyable which maybe because that was my first.
Some say though that this year's clues were much more challenging but of course there were less compared to last year. I still think that going for the nature trail would have been more fun and much more challenging. Let us not forget to mention that there was a significant decrease in the number of sponsors this year as seen on the not very nice t-shirt we were given. Makes me wonder why ..
Well, as many of you also know my team, A380 which includes nicholas wong and I won the grand prize for the treasure hunt. You might just wanna stone me to death but then again no one does exactly know the right answers for every clue. There would be a long list of doubts which I can post up but i'd rather not. I wouldn't say that we were the best considering jiam and pia had the same answers as us and even clocked in earlier than us by about 10 minutes.
I was even giving out answers to some other teams after that. For those I kind of 'ran away' from, I'm sorry. They could have won too. Guess time really does count but that still doesn't explain much. Needless to say, coming in earliest does not guarantee you the winning spot. Winning the grand prize isn't that grand after all. I got a camera which requires BATTERIES as power but the rest got walkman phones and iPod videos. Heartbreaking indeed. Here's a rundown of what I won ..
Did I mention that the camera I won is currently on promo in the papers for RM599. For gods sake, its even supposed to come with rechargeable batteries but looks like someone had klepto-ed it ahead of time. So much for "this camera is sponsored by the students of mckl themselves".
I'll be going to mckl to listen to some guy called tony anthony in his talk, "Taming The Tiger". Some kung fu champion who got jailed in Cyprus. I wonder whether mckl has that huge a hall to accomodate us all. Can't wait to know how the guy who 'made all the other prisoners look at him in a different way' get jailed in Cyprus. Good Friday's coming so I get a holiday where I need not got to church or do stuff like that.
Just want to thank anyone in wms who had bought stuff from 5L's moral food sale last thursday and friday. Can anyone who bought the pasta ala carbonara give some honest comments on how it tasted .. i cooked it and i don't exactly know. It tasted yummy to me but i'm not sure about the taste of all the other wesleyans. We gained a profit of about RM 5oo ++ which is good enough considering the fact that we had the food sale only to complete our moral SPM project. Still undecided as to where the amount would be donated to.
Chester Bennington of LP is in KL. He made an appearance at the minutes to midnight pre-order campaign launch in Tower Records, KLCC at 4 pm. I was very tempted to go but eventually didn't. I am so gonna pre-order the album as the giant poster that would come with it is a must. This reminds me that I should also start pre-ordering Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
This is the link to the video of the new LP single, 'What I've Done' on youtube. Your alternative source would be to switch on MTV the whole day. I got lucky and saw it the moment channel 71 appeared on my TV screen. I must say that the new video is not the same as other LP videos in the past. This new one seems to be a mixture of U2 and coldplay's perspective of MVs. Hardcore LP fans can now go stalk chester .. he is staying at le meridien at kl sentral .. i have my sources

- Olympus 7.1 megapixel FE-210 camera (ain't that great after all but i'm not complaining)
- Spalding limited edition All Stars 06 basketball (keeping it although i don't exactly play)
- Morgan de Toi watch (to my mum)
- MCKL bursary/waiver worth RM6000 (non-transferable blek!
- Some shoe care kit
- IMAX, Cosmoworld tickets
- Kenny Rogers voucher
- Putra LRT card worth RM 20
That's about it so if you are actually envious of me in any way, the other 1st place winners should deserved to be crucified. They could have gotten us more stuff of better quality than the crappy RM6000 waiver. What if I don't wanna go study there. Since its non-transferable, I can't even sell it unless you change your name to my name thats printed on it.
