Update: 11.53pm

Just got back from a boy band concert. Our teeny boppers can really scream non stop for over 3 hours! My ears are ringing right now.

Today’s hunt. I predicted that there would be some sort of games/challenges for this hunt and true enough today we had to identify 10 leaves at the end of the hunt. And because teams were more or less equal on route questions, this little task has had an impact on the final placings you see above.  I don’t know how much impact because the breakdowns were not provided. Maybe just one position up or down at most for a few teams. Anyhow, at least the task were not luck base this time around.

Overall it was a good hunt.  A few interesting questions and treasures.  Briefing, flag-off and answer presentation were all on time. The only thing is, it was really a poor choice of route and questions sectors. The roads were congested this morning and I think we spend no less than 60minutes in total getting stucked in traffic.

This hunt had the potential to be a huge hunt but it didn’t. Only 11 teams hunted today.  With the backing of various government agencies and the organiser being a grouping of NGOs, one would thought that they would not have problem getting the numbers. If only each of the NGOs in the “gabungan” send 5 teams, they would have easily gotten 30/40 teams. So what happened here? I wonder how much they collected for the Gaza cause?

Hunters wanted

Posted by Mike On March - 24 - 2009

This has been sitting in my in-box for a while.

Pira a fairly new hunter has been looking for members from within his circle of friends but no one seems to be interested. At last year’s theSun Hunt, in a team of only 2members, they achieved a commendable 90th position out of over 200 participating teams.

I want to actually form a team with people with some experience but not veterans to build a strong team. I am looking for two team members who are committed to join my team with the goal of doing well in the Sun Motor hunt.

“That person must be committed with us for at least one year. He/She must share the same goals, passion and commitment. My name is Pira and my contact is 012-321 2841″

There are a few successful teams out there today which started just like this. So if you are the kind of hunter, Pira is looking for, get in touch with him immediately and start that great journey to the top.

Interruptions

Posted by Mike On March - 19 - 2009

The whole of yesterday evening and this morning, this site was not accessible. Traffic to this site has more than doubled in recent months and yesterday it finally exceeded the monthly data transfers allowed under my current package. As a temporary measure I’ve since purchased additional bandwidth and will upgrade the whole hosting package soon.
