KL-Cherating Treasure Hunt Part 1
Okay. Here’s my first attempt at writing my Cherating trip post. Thank heavens if this actually gets posted. I’m very bad in writing factual experiences as I can’t recreate the atmosphere. I would rather play with words.
Enough crap.
We left Cyberjaya at about 5.30am on Saturday and reached TPM around 6.10 am. There were already a few cars ahead of us. Oh yeah, we were given a blue T-shirt to wear for the trip. The rest said it looked like the toilet cleaner’s T-shirt with some ugly logo with ugly colors at the back but we wore it anyway.
So after the hugging at the TPM car park as we girls have not seen each other for sometime, we were given some food, water and a briefing on how the treasure hunt works. We took loads of photos and also were video taped. I have neither in my possession currently hence the bleak post.
When all the 85 cars arrived, we were flagged off around 7.32 am. Since there were 8 of us in our group, we left in two cars. Team ‘GoldDiggers’ in Waja. Team ‘The Doink’ in Wira. Yours truly was in former. There was this Vios I think, “decorated’ with some headless dummy at the back, tied to the exhaust) complete with red ink to represent blood. It was funny in some gruesome way. I’ll post the picture if I could get hold of it. Surprisingly, this car got the best decorated car. The judges must be pretty sick also..he he ;-)
Our first assignment was to find two hats, two sunglasses, one toy gun and one stiletto and get to Point A to take pictures with it. We scoured all the shops. It was 8 am. No shops were open. We managed to get the sunglasses and the toy gun from Petronas Mini Mart. We had a stiletto with us and as for the hats; we even stopped near a market to look for those baby hats but couldn’t find one. Finally someone in our group was brilliant enough to suggest a home-made, ahem, car-made hats made out of newspaper and paper plates.
While on the way, we tried cracking our heads, to find the four treasures in our question paper.
Q1. Break this code and you will know what consumable treasure you must bring to the end. Use a good dictionary in hand to solve the answer.
27464 63 2 226 63 62582
We tried the traditional way to cracking the code, associating it with some alphabets. We couldn’t get any clue from this and left it.
Q2. Solve the six letter word puzzle, and collect 2 points for your effort.
_ A _ _ _ _ A song of national praise
N_ _A_ _ A Native American tribe
_ N _ _ _ B To cover or bury
B_ _ _ N _ Scantily cut briefs
_ N _ _ _ _ To impress or plant ideas
R _ _ _ _ E A refund or a discount
Complete the puzzle and you will scream with delight,
Look up and down, to the left and to the right,
The treasure I want will soon come into sight,
Submit the correct pack or you will regret tonight.
This we managed to crack…
The answer:
ANTHEM
NAVAJ O
ENTOMB
BI K I N I
I NS T I L
REBAT E
Look up and down, you can spot the word, RIBENA MOBILE. That’s one of our four treasures.
Q3. Men of Time Out Solutions provide this clue,
To lead you to 9 dragees that are sugar free too,
Chew on it and it will come to you,
Be as cool as ice and break it through.
We found the answer. Mentos Ice cool, 9 dragees, sugar free.
Q4. This was pretty tough. There were 4 pictures. We had to give their names and identify their similarity. The question was something like this…
Figure out these faces and you will realize an item that had ‘them’ in a pack. Bring one of any brand unopened to the finish.
Picture 1 was Larry King
Picture 2 was The Queens ( We thought it was The Carpenters)
Picture 3 was Jack Nicholson
Picture 4 was Ace Ventura (We thought it was Jim Carrey)
We couldn’t break the code. Don’t worry. I’ll provide the answer later.
So we bought the Mentos and Ribena Mobile plus the other items I mentioned just now to Point A. We were asked to pose like Tom Cruise and the sexy Maggie Q in MI3. We gave a damn teruk pose. I’m not putting up pictures: P The teams with all guys had a pretty hard time as all of us have to wear the stilettos to pose. So we saw loads of hairy legs in dainty stilettos complete with the slutty look for the picture. It was damn funny!
So then off to the highway. We had to follow the tulips (directions) given, trip the meter accordingly and solve another 30 set of questions. I’ll get to that in my next post…
He he!
