Part Time Job : AXN BiG Challenge ;D

a


So yesterday, me and a few collegemates worked for an event organised by AXN and sponsored by AXA Affin at 1 Utama. The event is called the BiG Challenge, 10 teams competing for the Grand Prize which is RM15,000. The concept is quite similar to Amazing Race. All the teams need to go through all 10 checkpoints as fast as possible.


And our job for the day, is the Checkpoint Coordinators/Race Marshal ;D All of us are distributed to different checkpoints to set up the place and challenge for the competing teams.

We reached 1U at 7:30am and all of us were soo damn tired @_@
c


Eric and I were issued to the same checkpoint. And we are the lucky ones who end up at the Outdoor Checkpoint while the others end up in Checkpoints in 1U = ="


So at 8 sumthin or so, Eric and I was asked to set up the checkpoint outside under the freaking hot sun while others continue sitting at the event place enjoying the air con = ="



cc


Central Park. Our super hot and sunny checkpoint D:


The only great thing about there that kept me going on was the dogs! Many ppl brought their dogs there to train them and all of them are super duper cute ;DD



d


The owner training her Golden Retriever ;D My favorite dog!



dd

Our Checkpoint is the 5th Checkpoint, and it's also the hardest to be found cos it's located at the far end of the park so yeah = ="


ff


And this is our challenge ;D
g
gg
h
hh
It was quite hard in setting it up but thank god there were 3 of us. 1 person alone can never set this up well = =" And after setting everything up I was already sweating like a pig = ="



Anyways this challenge is quite simple. Basically the contestant just have to go through it without touching the ropes. The catch is that they have to be blindfolded. So the other team member gives instructions on how to cross it. Once they hit the rope, a penalty of 10 minutes will be added to their final results! And every additional hit is 30 seconds after the 3rd time.

We also hung bells on the rope so when they hit the rope the bell will ring ;D
jj
k
kk
The sunny weather = ="



l
My partner of the day Eric ;D



Oh yeah, we were given a walkie talkie too. So we can communicate with our leaders and also the Race Marshals at other checkpoints.
ll
m
(no i'm not posing LOL)



Anyways after setting it up, we went to Fish&Co for lunch LOL! I ordered the cheapest thing there so yeah I didn't spend alot ;X
mm


Our lunch was interrupted. Our leader called us and asked us to return IMMEDIATELY = =" So we quickly swallowed everything and paid and ran back to the event place.



We grabbed the props from our event place then we went to our station and standby.



n
nn
The cute blindfolds LOL.



The Race started at 1pm I think. Other checkpoints are reporting through the walkie talkie the groups that came to their checkpoint while our checkpoint is super empty = ="



AND THE WORST THING IS THERE ARE NO PLACE FOR US TO SIT!!! I refused to sit on the floor so yeah I basically stood throughout the whole process and my legs and ass were tired as hell.



So after 1 hour of waiting. FINALLY SOME GROUPS CAME!!
o
Reading the Task Cards to know what they're suppose to do.
oo
Team member giving instructions. (Nice blindfold LOL)
p
Oopsss, 1 penalty. Too bad ;D
pp
q
Some group just crawled the whole thing. Which is the best and fastest way. Those other groups that didn't know that they could crawl through everything wasted ALOT of time. Say bye bye to RM15k ;X


All the groups came to our checkpoint within 40 minutes. So we were free and we can return to the event place to enjoy the air con ;DD


The event place is also the Final Checkpoint. The teams have to place the cards with pictures of food to their respective category in the Food Pyramid.
qq
r

rr
Yeah there were filming crews filming the whole process. I hope this thing won't be broadcasted on tv LOL COS I WAS FILMED TOO!


And basically our job is over ;D We were so relived after that and all of us sat on the stage.


Time for group picture! ;D



s
ss


Our job basically ended after that. The Top 5 groups will be announced and they compete AGAIN for the Grand Prize. Which is kinda stupid if you ask me cos the groups worked so hard previously and then they need to compete all over again in the final challenge =.=" So even if you end up at the 5th place, you still have a SUPER BIG chance to win the Grand Prize = ="


We were too tired to sit there and watch the rest of the game to go on so we went home ;X


Overall it was a great experience and it was quite fun too ;) It's quite satisfying when you think that "Your chance of winning 15 thousand depends on me" LOL!! Surprisingly, all of the contestants were very nice and polite and we didn't encounter any problems too ;) And you get paid 100 bucks for having fun at the same time so I guess it's kinda worth it XD But for me it's just gaining experience lah so yeah, I'm happy with everything ;)


Anyways I still have 5 more weeks of holiday and I hope I'll spend it well! Might be having a Genting trip with the college mates but everything is still planning. Let's just hope everything works out fine ;)



Till then, goodbyeeeeeeeeeeeee awesome ones ;D

FREEDOM! ;D

The blog has been super deadly due to the deadline of big pile of assignments. But I'm done with everything now and my 7 weeks of holiday officially starts now ;D

So I'm going to update on what happened few weeks back!

First of all,
I BOUGHT A NEW CAMERA ;D

I didn't want to use other ppl's picture in my blog all the time so I decided it's time to buy my own camera so I can take anything I want ;)
So here it is!

26th May 2011 [Assignment at Ben's House] 006
[Ugly Hair = ="]


Speaking of hair, I had a haircut too ;D I was super bored with the haircut and my parents threatened me to cut my hair and I swear they were so serious of kicking me out from the house so yeah I went to cut it D:


Final picture before the haircut!!

Jared's 19th Birthday Dinner + Tracy's Surprise Bday Celebration 004
(It looks very lala and ugly here but now it looks alot better so yeah ;X)

And I'm actually quite happy with the hair ;D Nothing's blocking my front view anymore HAHA THE CURTAIN COVERING MY RIGHT EYE ALL THE TIME IS FINALLY GONE!! ;D



So the next one is Jared's surprise birthday!
We 'collaborated' with his high school friends to give him a surprise at his house ;D


On the way walking to his house..

Me and Beat ;)

Our plan that night is, one of Jared's high school friend will ask him out to tapau burger for supper. So when they go out, that's the time we sneak in ;X Then we hide in the storeroom and wait for their return then we surprise him ;D So yeah basically we have a spy beside Jared to report to us all the time on the situation LOL.

AND WE'VE WAITED FREAKING LONG IN THE STOREROOM IT'S SOO FREAKING HOT!

254373_10150202159188181_637813180_7223873_7996873_n

The surprise was sorta busted cos the oh-so-smart Ben went to change Jared's laptop's wallpaper to something else so the moment he came back and on his laptop he already knew that we're here = =" But he played along and pretend that he didn't know anything LOLL!!

Oh yeah I also went to his room cos I've never seen how it looks like before and the moment I stepped in I'm like "OMG I LOVE THIS ROOOOOMMM!!"

IT'S SO NICE OMG MY FUTURE ROOM MUST BE AS NICE AS THIS OR EVEN NICER THAN THIS ;X
LOL.

Anyways the next day we had his birthday dinner @ Chilis, Empire Gallery Mall ;)

254890_10150203526923181_637813180_7235931_2115443_n

We also have another plan for that day. Becos it's another of our coursemate. Tracy's birthday the next day. So the plan is when we're singing the birthday song, we sing "Happy Birthday to TRACY!" instead of Jared. She had no idea that the whole thing is for her hahahaha.
