Then, were given a goodies bag. Inside it consists of Twisties, Biscuits, a plastic cup with a transparent plastic bag, a calender pen, a box of drink and an envelope. On each of the things was a hidden alphabet for the on of the next task. I think some of the teams didn't even noticed the hidden alphabets.
For the next task, we had to solve the clue that was inside the envelope which was given to us earlier on. Guess what, the clue for the next stop is - "By using public buses, find your way to the Promised Land". We had to sacrifice 3 eggs to get the answer just because we were like, "is there any promise land in Youth-Park ar"?? LoL... we were so doink. It's actually MMC (Multi-Purpose Ministries Complex) - our church promise land for our new church building.
After the 1st task, we were already the last team because we had a really slow start. This is because there were some misunderstanding among 2 of our team members and our team leader haven't reach yet... you know who you are =). But... our team ROCKS !!!
So, after getting to answer for the "Promise Land", we quickly go to the nearest bus station which was a 10-15 minutes walk away. Lucky for me before the race started, I had taught of where is the nearest bus station from Penang Youth-Park.
While walking, I was like thinking to myself, "why isn't there any other teams walking on the road. We must be really left behind".
Ended up, we were the smarter ones. We went to the bus stop which was the nearest for us to walk to and 2 more teams went to the further one, which was at Midland 1 Stop. Then some other teams went to don't know what bus stop which was even further.
When the bus came, we went up to the bus and some people was staring at us because some of us were holding eggs in our hands. Later on when we reached the next bus station at Midlands 1 Stop, low and behold, we saw the other two teams waiting there and some of their faces was like "why is my team already on the bus"?? So during that time I was relieved because we caught up with the other teams.
During the bus journey to KOMTAR bus terminal station, almost the whole bus was full with our church youths. We were talking from the front of the bus till the end. It was like our own bus and others was staring at us more. LoL
Before reaching to KOMTAR, Matthew ask our team members to follow him because he knows the nearest shortest shortcut to the bus terminal station and which bus to take. So after we got down from the bus to cross the road, Chia Ming saw there was only 10 seconds left to cross the road, so we quickly ran across the road, trying to ditch the other 2 teams and not to let them follow us to use the shortcut.
Ended up we really ditched them and we quickly ran to the bus terminal station. Lucky for us we ran, if not we had missed the bus. Why do I say so? It's because when we reached the bus terminal, the bus was already leaving the station and we waived and stopped infront of the bus. Ended up we got up to the bus headed to the "Promise Land". This time we were also the smarter ones and what a good timing to get to stop the bus before it left. We also realy ditched the other 2 teams big time. (don't look at me as if I'm very evil ok =p)
While on the bus, Shaun was sitting beside me and he told me he noticed there were some alphabets hidden on the things in the goodies bag. So, I ask him to quickly check the rest and write down all the alphabets on a piece of paper.
Before we got down from the bus, I called E Joo - the task leader to inform her we were on our way for the next task. Her reaction was, "where are you guys now and which part?" During that time I didn't suspect anything, but after walking till the "Promise Land" there, we saw no one there yet. So I called the chief game master - Thomson Chee and he was also surprised that we were already there. So he ask us to wait for them to reached and he will give us some bonus for the time delay.
To our surprised, we were the first to reach there and even before the game committees. From last to first... SHOCKING!!
We waited for them there for around 10 minutes, then Vivien with Ivan arrived followed by Alan Por. Then we took some group pictures there. Vivien also gave me a piece of McD hash brown to eat. LoL... thanks Vivien. While taking picture, I received a phone call from the church office. It was Sis. Susie, and I was so called scolded because Kon Way forgot to returned the sanctuary keys to the office for the previous nights IGNITE practice. I was responsible to take the keys that day but was to busy to go collect it so I ask Kon Way to collect it. Don't worry Kon Way, I'm not blamming you.
What Next?
