Leo, Lion, Simba & Singa Hunt

LEO Amazing Walk-a-Hunt Three team members, two hunts and one weekend. Last weekend was the busiest treasure-hunting weekend for me. I had Maju Junction Merdeka Challenge (MJMC) on Saturday and the Leo WalkaHunt on Sunday. This was worse than having two 10km running events in one weekend. Leo Hunt was a traditional walkahunt. Thank God, no Fear Factor and physical challenge involved. We registered at the Kelana Jaya LRT station about 7:00am. We saw Vic of last year's Malaysian Idol waiting for his ride at the LRT station. We were flagged off by a huge black cock….I mean huge black rooster mascot, courtesy from Nando Chicken. The hunt took us from Kelana Jaya to Bangsar to Sentral to Pasar Seni (Petaling Street) and then to the final assembly point at Amcorp Mall, all using the LRT and of course our legs. The questions were not as easy as the MJMC. We had to let go quite a number of questions. We were scurrying like lipas kudung (dismembered cockroach) back to Amcorp Mall due to poor time management. (own reminder: please plan your time, stick to it and willing to let go of certain questions) The treasures were quite tough too. We didn’t manage to crack the clue until the last minutes - Eveready AA Batteries, 100Plus drink and two Trebor sweets. We solved the 100Plus treasure clue in the LRT while on our way back to Amcorp Mall!! That was a close one. Anyway, we were so happy that we got all the treasures right. There were more questions waiting for us at Amcorp Mall. Relatively easy. We only get one question wrong here. While waiting for the result to be announced, we walk around Amcorp Flea Market and had lunch at Salero Negori (a nice and reasonably priced Negeri Sembilan restaurant). We passed this restaurant a few times during the hunt and the cooking smell was really tantalizing. We were hungry like the wolves. It didn’t take us long to decide where to have lunch even before the hunt was ended. The top 5 winners were announced. I saw the a few familiar faces and familiar team names that I notice the day before at MJMC. These people are really good. I heard the first prize team managed to get full scores on their hunt. Amazing!! I guess this comes with experience and teamwork. I hope one day, my team will be up the stage receiving prizes like them. (Insert starry eyes day dream here).
