The Amazing Race . . . City Harvest Church KL.

Around 60 people participated in The subzone Amazing Race organized by a few young people from CHC. First, we were randomly selected into various groups which consists of 6 people. But due to some unforseen circumstances, my group was left with 5- Kevin the leader, Loren, Winnie the Pooh, Cheryl the chilli queen and me. Then, the race started off with each team getting a clue. The one thing I hate about the clue is, it's a friggin riddle. It was like 5 ordinary people trying to decipher the Da Vinci's code. We had no idea where that was until some tips were given.

With the reliable tips, we headed off to Pavilion, first getting on a bus with a very angry bus driver and then getting on the KL monorail. We found 'Prince Giselle' who is a lady for our next clue but before getting the clue, we had to eat a few pieces of raw garlic first and I didnt like that. After we force fed ourselves with the given garlic, we got our clue.

We then traveled to central market with the garlic stench lingering in our breaths to look for a guy with short pants called 'The Fallen'. Fortunately, a few of the groups were already there so we didn't have to search for The Fallen. He was standing right at the entrance. Another food challenge, red chillis. Cheryl had to eat the chillis because she skipped the garlic and she did it like a pro. Oh man, this girl just popped the chillis in her mouth and swallowed them like nobody's business.

Puzzle-solving people

There were 3 task this time, number 1 was take a picture in front of the toilet, number 2 was do an MJ song at the entrance of Petaling Street and I couldn't remember what was the last task. Doing the MJ thing at the entrance was quite fun though, with watch vendors clapping after we 'performed'. The last pit stop was at Sungei Wang which we didnt manage to arrive due to lack of time.

I know I look weird here

With the remaining money, 5 of us squeezed into a taxi and headed straight back to Sunway. And we were the first team to arrive! but didn't win. We were the 1st runner up. Not bad eh?

Did I tell you that one of our tasks was to find a person with more than 5 letter 'A's in their name and take a picture of their IC?


hell yeah we took a picture of her with her colleague

We found a person with that criteria and she even let us take a picture of her IC and a picture with her.(courtesy of Polis DiRaja Malaysia)
