YELLOW OUTSIDE, MALAYSIAN INSIDE

Extracted from THS Tulip (Oct-Dec Edition 2012)

PENANG 22 JULY 2012: It all started with an innocuous posting on the blog. The participants were duly instructed to wear yellow during 22nd July gathering at a famous chicken fast-food restaurant in Queensbay Mall.

Somehow, things couldn’t turn out more surprisingly traumatic at the rendezvous!

At first glance, this would seem like a harmless reunion of old buddies, or a meet-up of Brazilian football fans. Funnily this could even pass as a convention for Digi’s Yellow Men.

And yet for the eatery manager, as more attendees in amber attire gradually trickled in, one could almost swear that beads of cold sweat began to stream down his forehead. You couldn’t blame him for his instinctive concern; he doubtlessly pondered whether his outlet was the unwitting venue sponsor of an illicit congregation.

And his worst suspicions promptly turned into a misery during the briefing and group photo session of THS Walk Hunt Series 2012 – Penang Leg 2.

ATMAH CHARITY TREASURE HUNT 2012 - News

Atmah Charity Treasure Hunt 2012 successfully made its journey from KL to the historical city of Malacca on 4th Aug 2012. With COC Pava's Hunts, the event attracted about 90 teams of treasure hunters.

In fact, it actually kicked off much earlier, with the release of treasure questions during the briefing on Thu (2nd Aug 2012). If you are not one of the Atmah hunters, have a try at some of the treasure questions:-

Treasure 1

The first treasure you need to find is a sort of a scrub,

Only if you get coal mined it will be one that's proper,

One with Steven Spielberg's movie points I'll give you,

That's enough though but to be sure look at the sides,

Hand in an unused one so please get it without a rush.

Treasure 2

Female representation of a great island,
The product of its colony you must land,
It surely goes well with a cuppa in hand,
I am are you finally clear of my demand?
You get it right and I will not reprimand.

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.

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 21^st 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.
