Did you guys & dolls had a great weekend? Anything to share, pls tell me yo! I was too tired to post until now...
Mag & I joined the HSBC treasure hunt yesterday, as part of their roadshow at the Mall.
We met up around 2-ish and saw our competitions - we were there to win. WIN WIN WIN! There were 29 others teams including team no 1: Scapper-hunters who ended up winning the 3rd prize. Curses!
We were Team no 5- simply known as team Bidarlah haha!
Did we win? Did we? Almost! dAmn it! Damn it! Ok! I did not read the rules properly cos I tot we will be briefed by the organizers on the very day, nope. did not!
Just photo session. (pic from Zar)
However despite all that, team Bidarlah ended 4th place. :(
BUT BUT BUT! I just got to say, if we had bought the damn 'seasons ice apple tea' we would hv won 3rd place and if I answered the bloody triangle correctly, 2nd place. Hmm…so damn close! But it was a fun day though: running around the mall, looking for clue, and it’s my second ever treasure hunt, next time next hunt, we will be in top 3. haha!
Ps. We lost out by 3 bloody points. THREE (SA TIAM NYA). Celaka!
Anyway, I then stayed on after the prize presentation and said goodbye to Mag as she had to leave for home early.
Why I stayed?

Cos James joined the shopping spree game, where participants had to shop for as many items within 6 minutes. Why i did not join? cos i did not spend more than 100 dollars on a single receipt with my credit card for the past few days. Nothing to buy bah! nothing! So those who did, have a chance to enter to a lucky draw to participate. Plus i'm never that lucky in such things. Never! i tell you!
Yes, it's a LUCKY DRAW! and damn James, he was lucky! He got picked after his team won 3rd place in the treasure hunt- 100 cash each. Arg!!!!
well prior to the game, both of us started to think where in the mall could they do the shopping spree-where u can actually use a trolley. com'on where else? UG loh!
So we went there and TARGET the items to take or stuff in the trolleys. haha! oh yes we did! shh! dun tell anyone hor...we looked for small useful & expensive items that we want like toothbrushes, toothpastes, batteries, deodorants, 3-in-1 coffees, car parfums, boardgames (they are expensive yo!), pens and others. haha! too bad they did not include bedsheets, dvd player, hi-fi and others which we earmarked oledi leh! (pic)
We got our strategy ready and remember it's a lucky draw ya! so that means his name would have to be plucked out of the bunches of names in the box for him to play. So imagine all of us rooting for him, when his name was called, CRAZY!!! WE ALL SHOUTED AND JUMPED up and down muahaha! i tell you, he got the loudest cheer and all of us then followed him round the store with his trolley: cheering him.
ok ok! more like SHOUTING...here, here, here...take this one...take that one... followed with more shouting and panting hahah!!!! even Sinfully D (who is pregnant) & hubby, plus irene were there running along with James. Gosh! Six minutes is not long nor short and he did good!
He filled 2 trolleys full with 600 over items worth over 2000 brunei dollars. well done! STRATEGY paid off yo! He grabbed loads: toothbrushes, small stickers by the racks yes! RACKS! pen & pencils by boxes. clever! Thanks to the storelady giving us idea. haha! (pic)
and did he win?
HE BLOODY DID! man! He is damn lucky!
Ok ok! he did not get to keep all of the items...cos the winner got to keep only 750 dollars worth of stuffs in the trolley... hei 750 is quite a lot of money.
FREE leh! see that's why we TARGET the items haha! clever
leh!
BOARD GAMES! yoohooo!!! i got myself RISK (dunno how to play but heard it's fun), deodorants, toothpastes and toothbrushes.
haha! hei, my fair share lah for helping. Sinfully D, Gferro, Irene and even Zar got their shares too. So THANK YOU, James and also for dinner too.
