AN EYE FOR A MISSION



KLANG VALLEY 10 DECEMBER 2011: As the cinema light gradually dimmed, the catchy theme song of the movie began to play, much to the delight of the audience.

For those growing up during the 1980’s, this familiar tune provided an instant reminder of an awaiting assignment and possibly a thrilling adventure. Watching the premiere of Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol on the silver screen inevitably rekindled the sweet nostalgia of the original TV series. 

Yet somehow it also evoked the hunt memories of previous week, for the participants of Eye Q Treasure Hunt 2011 may arguably claim that they had miraculously survived a more impossible mission.

If Tom Cruise and his team thought that they had it tough in the Ghost Protocol, wait till they attempt the challenges in this Malaysian Mensa hunt. If they considered deactivating the satellite of the Indian mogul Brij Nath (played by the actor Anil Kapoor) as arduous, they should try ‘deactivating’ the lethal questions of the Indian COC Jay (played by err…. the incomparable Jayaram Menon himself).

There were three members to each team.

The two-hour hunt had participants cracking their heads over clues to their "treasures" in the shopping mall.

BANKING ON POETIC COC

Dua tiga kucing berlari,

Mana nak sama si kucing belang,

Dua tiga COC boleh kuhadapi,

Mana nak sama COC Malik sorang!

GEORGETOWN 26 NOVEMBER 2011: It is one thing when banks give interest for deposits in the saving accounts, but it’s quite another when one promised substantial rewards for deposits of hunt entry fee.

One seldom savours the sight of financial institutions on the bandwagon of public hunts; hence full credit must be given to Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) when they explored such marketing avenue, via their BSN SSP Special Edition Treasure Hunt 2011!

With cash and SSP (Sijil Simpanan Premium) up for grab, it was hardly surprising when about 60 teams promptly registered for the event. Such was the joy and prospect of a potential windfall, several hunters who have hung up their hunt clipboards a few years ago, decided to do a ‘Paul Scholes’ U-turn, by coming out of their retirement for one last hurrah.

KUALA LUMPUR: The recent inaugural Pahlawan Challenge 2011 was not just another treasure hunt.

Participants, comprising seasoned hunters as well as beginners, went home not only with attractive prizes and goodies but also a wealth of information and knowledge about the armed forces and life as soldiers.

The motor hunt, which attracted some 50 cars, was organised by the Armed Forces Veterans Affairs Department (JHEV), in conjunction with Hari Pahlawan 2011 which falls on July 31.

TO LAUGH, OR NOT TO LAUGH: THAT'S THE QUESTION!

KUALA SELANGOR 23 OCTOBER 2011: For Shakespearean aficionados who took part in Soroptimist Treasure Hunt 2011, it must have been a rewarding experience for them!

They came to join an event, one hopefully capable of rendering lasting memories, of providing great value for money and of course, of offering entertainment! They found more than what they could have bargained for; just not in the way they could have envisaged!

Their entry fee not only entitled them to join the “Hunt with A Heart”; it was also a ticket to watch the farcical remake of one of the Bard’s well-known plays – The Comedy of Errors!

How else can they react to this hunt that saw the comical COC unintentionally bemused the participants with humorous anecdotes and reasons for his clownish performance?

EXORCISING THE GHOST OF HUNTING PAST

SUBANG 22 OCTOBER 2011: Forget Halloween – what COC Trailblazers did recently in The Summit Hantu Hunt 2011 was decidedly creepy too!

With loosely-bandaged mummy, fang-baring vampire, well-equipped Ghostbusters team and scythe-wielding Grim Reaper on the prowl, the stage was set for a ghoulish showdown among several brazen-hearted hunters.

Instead of the traditional ‘trick-or-treat’ guising, the mortal participants were delectably served with a ‘treat of tricks’; in the form of demonic questions and unearthly challenges.

Learning to empathise with cabbies

Sunlight Taxi’s recent treasure hunt, “Having Fun With Sunlight”, was a roaring success, with over 300 taxi drivers and members of the public braving the rain in the Klang Valley to collect treasures for a good cause, and to vie for the top prize of RM2,000.

The winning team was ironically named “Don’t Know Much”.

In total, RM30,000 in cash and kind was given out as prizes to 49 teams.

The “Don’t Know Much” team, comprising long-time friends Mohd Md Taib, Ahmad Zarmilan Mohamad and Ahmad Iznie, joked that while they might not know much about anything else, they were aware that teamwork pays off.

For those of you who didn't go for the Atmah hunt, here's a tough Treasure Q from the hunt:-

T1.
For the first treasure, a cleaner you must target,
Add a high-end minus the last word from a band: please relate,
Browse the beginnings nothing great, the treasure's not hard for you to break.

Have a shot if you haven't tried it before!

Ex-shuttler with brain damage receives aid

IT was a poignant moment for the father of a former state badminton player who suffers from brain damage after a road accident when the Bayan Baru Welfare Association donated RM5,000 to the family.

Holding back tears, Oon Beng Teik, 50, received a mock cheque from the association’s representative David Yim at a restaurant in Sungai Ara on Thursday.

Oon’s daughter Him Yee, 21, suffered serious head injuries after her motorcycle collided with a car.

ALOR SETAR 23 JULY 2011: Bring out the flying broomstick, flip through the pages of a spell book, wave the magic wand and utter the incantation of Abracadabra! This is the time for sorcery and witchcraft!

With the premier screening of a wizard’s 8^th and final movie during the previous weekend, Menara KL Tower To Tower Hunt 2011 delivered an encore of unforgettable magical adventure as well.

COC Md Sofian Zainal Abidin (from NRZ Events) may lack the youth and charm of Harry Potter; yet his encyclopaedic knowledge of powerful spells made him an equally formidable hunt wizard.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF IN DISCOVERING MALACCA

MALACCA 2 JULY 2011: According to Hikayat Melayu (the Malay Annals), Parameswara, a fugitive prince from Singapore accidentally discovered Malacca around the year 1400. What attracted him and his entourage at that time was a smart white kancil (mouse deer, not Perodua car) outwitting his hunting dog at the location of modern day Malacca Town.

Miraculously in 2011, the participants of GBS Charity Treasure Hunt 2011 re-discovered Malacca Town, thanks largely to another ‘colour creature’.  Not to be outdone, COC Purple Antz attempted to cryptically hoodwink the hunting group at precisely the same location on 2^nd July.





A TWIST IN THE TALE OF THE ORIENT HUNT

GEORGETOWN 29 MAY 2011: As far as the Grand Slam hunts go, Kiwanis hunt must be one of the most eagerly-awaited events of the year. After all, it is the most prestigious and longest running hunt, which undoubtedly evokes nostalgic memories of yesteryears, among all the hunters. 

“Tales of the Orient” was the theme for the 28^th Kiwanis Treasure Hunt 2011; yet several participants must have involuntarily conspired to add a few twists in the hunt tales. Just less than 24 hours after Barcelona team had conjured magic to mesmerize MU players in the Champion League 2011 final, Kiwanis hunt weaved the magic in its final night of champion prize presentation.

HIGH NOON AT ROYAL OAK

KUALA LUMPUR 21 MAY 2011: One seldom associates pubs with treasure hunts; yet Royal Oak Treasure Hunt 2011 perceptibly proved to be a refreshing anomaly. For the second year running, the participants embarked on a pub crawl; with the event starting around lunch time at Royal Oak pub in Jaya One, and culminated with dinner at its sister’s in Solaris Mont Kiara.

With Michael Pang as the wily COC, the hunt represented the sport played at its very rudimentary level. Purely cryptic questions and treasures; no booze-guzzling challenge, or dart-throwing contest needed for thematic linkage with the organizer’s business!

Probably this came closest to the hunt version of high noon showdown (literally) outside a Western bar!
