JUST PERFECT

(by Lenny Wan)

“Just perfect”, I thought when I read about the Consumer Hunt BPK 2012, a ‘free’ hunt on a day when I was free. I roped in another “ekor”, Ruben, who did not know much about the hunt and didn’t even know the prizes on offer. He was under the impression that it was just a small hunt on a Sunday in Semenyih to quench our thirst for hunts (especially after a month of May which was largely bereft of hunts).

The two of us arrived at the carnival site at TESCO, Semenyih that lazy Sunday morning with not much expectation but to our pleasant surprise, we discovered that the consumer hunt was part of a series of activities for the “Bulan Pengguna Kebangsaan”, which was organised on a rather large scale.

CROUCHING COCKROACH, HIDDEN TREASURE

Extracted from THS Tulip (Jul-Sep Edition 2012)


SUBANG JAYA 14 APRIL 2012: It's been 2 months since the inaugural mind-boggling THS Hunt, jointly clerked by Jay and VK. Perhaps a lacuna long enough for the mental wound from the first to have healed and the itch for a sequel to become unbearable!

With this THS Walk Hunt 2012 - Leg 2 nicely sandwiched between 2 epic hunts of Putrajaya and NPC-Celcom in April, it may appear that the choice of 14th April seems to be rightly made after a consultation with some fengshui gurus.

SUPER HUNTERS ASSEMBLE


PANGKOR 21 APRIL 2012: Just one week before the superheroes assembled in The Avengers movie, the super hunters gallantly converged in NPC-Celcom Treasure Hunt 2012 to confront a trickster ‘god’!

The impressive turnout of 82 teams at Menara Celcom on the fateful 21st April morning predictably showcased almost all the Who’s Who of treasure hunt world, reminiscent of the ‘Secret Wars’ showdown in the comicdom!

Secret Wars of Treasure Hunt

Chief among the protagonists was the fantastic 4-Ekor, the team of 3 guys and a gal who miraculously survived the devastating exposure during a Kiwanis mission to Penang, and somehow returned to KL stronger, by decisively clinching a hat-trick of 3 hunts (Eye-Q Hunt 2011, Jingle Bell Hunt 2011 and Sentul Hunt 2012) within 2 months.

Extracted from Charis Hospice E-Bulletin (April 2012)

INTO THE PURPLE ZONE

(by JayMen)


A month of Sundays
Rajj Melambram of Purple Antz has for some time now been reminding me that I have never joined any of the Antz open hunts. I can't quite confirm it but something always cropped up over the last 2 years whenever Antz had a hunt on.

So it was time to rectify this unhealthy situation as I always believe that as COC, one needs to join as many varied hunts as possible to sense what the tenor and style fo the newer setters might be. Of course, one can look at the questions later in the comfort of one's den but there is nothing like taking part in a hunt - and undergo the challenge in the field.

In fact February/ March has been an extraordinary month. I took part in 4 hunts over 4 weekends! I'm sure no Penang guy has done that. First was Chong Foo Seong's Dragon Drive on Feb 12th, then came Shandra Dass's Klang Rotary Hunt on Feb 18th; next was Mahindra Satyam Charity Treasure Hunt 2012 by Purple Antz on 26th Feb and on March 3rd we had Trailblazers' Publika Hunt.

A TEACHING MOMENT

(by JayMen)


KLANG VALLEY 18 FEBRUARY 2012: Once in a while, a hunt comes along that poses questions which can be a great teaching moment. Such a one was Shandra Dass’s Rotary Club of Klang Treasure Hunt 2012 on Feb 18th.
There were 11 difficult and unfamiliar questions that can now serve as a case study for how difficult questions need to be handled. Although “difficulty” consists of about half a dozen aspects, 2 will be sufficient to grade these Qs. These are Economy and Accuracy. Economy here is defined as absence of unnecessary information. Accuracy here is defined as freedom from error.
