#364 The real post on FBEPS Amazing Race 2009

So this is how it all started, the name slots were placed outside the FSC office. Nita and I kept on passing by it and she was like, "ehhh should we??" but we were short of two people so we went out to the bench and sweet talked K to join us.. then he was like, "bah manasaja..." so 1 down 1 more to go. I thought ohh well since we can't find anyone in our year might get someone else like a stranger. So told K to get Fik The Man (who was his futsal team member during The Dean's Cup) to join us and he agreed. So had our names written on the name slots and yes we waited for the Wednesday to come!! Everyone was ready... and we were so geared up for the challenge. Some said there is a rubicks (sp) cube involved and all so Mawi had his laptop on youtube and learn how to actually solve a rubicks cube!

So we all gathered in G.38 (such a small room, imagine 4 persons in a team X 13 teams=52 people + committe) ohh my... it was such a bad place to start off, they should have put us all together at Smallville or something. So the first task was to find one of the FSC members to get the first clue.



1st Clue: 18, garden, room less, 14
so I thought of g.18 (which is one of the lecture rooms) and maybe 18-14 = g.4... but we can't seem to find it. We went back to g.18 and saw Mawi took something from one of the benches... and that was our next clue.


2nd Clue: We had to form the word FSC with our bodies (3 members had to do this) with the following items: an umbrella, a softdrink from the vending machine and a tissue box. We didn't thought of going to the car to take the items minus the drink of course so we went to the FSC room cos I remembered when I was in office we had an umbrella in there as well as a tissue box. So our next mission is to get the drink from the vending machine, we didn't have any coins so we used the $1 dollar note. I was really frustrated because the machine didn't accept the money. So what I heard from K and Nita was I kept on making this sound like everytime the $1 dollar note was rejected by the machine... it was "erhhh..." with my oh so frustrated face... K said he wanted to laugh...

We had to take this picture using a camera phone and show it to a lady with the keyword "FSC" who will give the latest news... so ran around we did to find this lady... not knowing she was so close to us...

Nita & I trying to be cheerful while running around

Once we found her we were given a maths equation to be solved and Nita solved it which led us to g.2. In that room we had to "menumpah ambuyat" and I was so frustrated in there because our ambuyat just wasn't gooey enough...


Oh something else happened in here that I don't want mention... so we got the next clue

4th Clue: I am black, I have wheels, I am hatchback and I love Apple

So we thought of the carpark and off we went to find a black car and we saw a tray behind the car near the exhaust with papers in them so we picked the one with our team number "12" and the next clue is...

5th Clue: "Fast & Furious" is your next clue...

I kept on chanting that clue then I shouted... "FASS" which is this building... in UBD. So we ran... and we had to do 3 tasks here...

1st task was to get a ping pong ball from one point to another with using a spoon held using the mouth and pass it to another member halfway through the point. Once the 2nd member reach the final point.. the other two members had to put an orange in between their head and the other two members are me and Nita...

You see here... Nita somewhat squashed the orange before we put it in between our head so there is a flat surface... eventually there was an open section in the orange so once we put force on the orange... the juice from the orange started dripping and it dripped into my eyes. So my eyes were really painful and I couldn't see a thing... I kept on asking for tissue or something like that and thanks to Aryf Zainal I got a bottle of water to wash my face with...


Our third task was to cut open the top of a coconut and bring the coconut to the end line without dripping the juice... and once we reach there we had to drink the coconut juice... Nita couldn't find any straws and she saw one lying on the floor so she used that (see how unhygienic we got) and I don't know how I got mine... I think K gave me.




We had to eat the coconut flesh and since we couldn't find any spoon we used our hands... (see how unhygienic again) hehe...

Oh my... I'm so tired from typing all this.. but yea there were more tasks involved and we could have won but we couldn't find the last clue so... we got on 5th I think or 6th...

oh well we had fun though.. and I must say.. we had a great team!!! :)
