The ATMAH Treasure Hunt…in Cameron Highland

-

 

This weekend is gonna be a total blast!

atmah

Atmah (Action To Mobilize All Humanity), an organization that was set up at advocate for and educate the lower income communities is running a charity treasure hunt from the 14-15 August.

 

Starting point : PJ. Destination : Cameron Highland. Total distance travelled : 219km

Prizes : RM 3000, 2000, 1000

Why would I be that excited about a treasure hunt (besides the prize), you might ask? Could it be because it’s gonna be held in Cameron?

 

To be honest, I’m not all gungho about Cameron Highlands. There’s nothing to do there except drive up and down endless rows of tea trees and hunt for strawberries.

 

There’s also the legendary Cameron Highland Pasar Malam.

Contrary to popular belief, the Pasar Malam is NOT an attraction. It is a major Disaster… the main cause of daily traffic havoc from 4pm – 8pm.

 

The pasar malam is STRATEGICALLY located in Brinchang, smack in the center of the ONLY road that goes through all the towns in Cameron Highland.

How not to have traffic jam gila babi you tell me? How to treasure hunt there you tell me? By the end of the hunt, even cactus will fall asleep laa.

Anyway.

 

I’m still excited.

 

That’s because it is my first Motor Treasure Hunt ever. I’ve joined normal treasure hunts, but this is one that needs me to drive around woh. Best.

 

I received some even better news this evening, that we’ll be receiving petrol coupons. Free Petrol wei.

My car is gona get an orgasm when she finds out about it. Yeah baby.

 

And the Bestest part is this:

 

Out of 60 cars that will be participating in this event, there’s about 7 cars whose members are Salsa Kakis. Which means that when the treasure hunt part is over, it’s gona be Salsa All Night Long..!

 

And since we’re taking a night in Equatorial Resort, our salsa uncle Ganesh has arranged for us to crash the ballroom for the night. There is Nothing that can be better than that babeh.

 

I wonder if I’ll be able to revive the memories from the Salsa Cruise last year. Man. I think about it also I gatal liao. Feet moving and tapping around too. LOL.

 

This time, I will be joined by @NatC, @Andygts & @Rachelmeiq in our team of 4. We will fight to navigate our way through the treacherous roads of Cameron, dodging strawberry attacks and random road animals.

And this 3 fellas in my team are super smangat. Siap dengan laptop, mobile broadband, thesaurus, dictionary, GPS etc.

 

It was all good…until last night when we were required to submit a team name.

 

After about 2 hours of major debate (over BBM chat), and coming out with an exhaustive arsenal of names, we finally rested on a final suggestion. But before I announce it, here are some of the ideas : LOL, OMG, WTF, OMG NOM NOM, Don’t Follow Me I’m Lost, Trailblazers, Hensem, Pirates…etc…

 

I personally liked ‘Team OMG’. But there was a 2 vs 2 vote against it, so it was taken off the list. And finally, we ended up with..

Team Macho Divas.

Sigh.

 

I know, it sounds wrong on so many levels. To me, it initially sounded like we are a team of AH QUA running around Cameron Highlands. ‘Machos AND Divas’ is perfect, but it just sounded too long…So it was decided. We would remove the ‘AND’ to be ‘Macho Divasthis weekend.

 

And seeing that we have such a mixed-up team name, it only makes sense to have a mixed up team banner as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh boy, I can’t wait. If you want to know what happens this weekend, make sure you follow me on Twitter at @euveng. There’ll be plenty of time to tweet when we inevitably get stuck in traffic jam haha.

 

Cheers!

Highlight CNY pictures of the year!

 

Last Sunday was spent visiting the Ampang houses i.e. BryanLyt, SmashpOp and Jason Mynjayz.

 

The plan was to meet at Bryan’s house at 3.30, hang around, move on to Smashpop’s, hang around, then to Jason Mynjayz place. But I got cut off halfway for an ‘emergency’ meeting at home. Dad, I hope you don’t do this too often, you denied me of One Angpau haha. T_T

 

Soooo, at BryanLyt’s house.

Last year, I felt like I didn’t get enough of my fill…Because every Yee Sang session, we start off with a HUGE plate, and end up with a small plate for ourselves, just a bit more than 2 bites :/

So this year, I will go for at least 10 sessions. Muahaha.

 

This year’s first one happened with the #hooraygang and bloggers at the spanking House of Tang, Bangsar.

 

I have to say, this is one very Pretty place.

IMG_6327aIMG_6302a They couldn’t wait to pose with the guy with the pimple hahhaaha.

 

IMG_6331a Josh looks constipated with Jerine and Hanie.

 

IMG_6337a It’s Joyce and Meiyingt!

 

IMG_6342a IMG_6351a Everybody seems to be in a Valentine’s Day mood lol..

 

As much I would like to give a full length description about the taste, texture, smoothness, ‘rolling on the tongue’ of the food at House of Tang, my best attempt sounds something like this: ‘I like it! Definitely be back if I were to bring friends for a simple classy dinner. I paid only RM30 for a semi-filling dinner yo.’

 

And you know you can always trust a food-blogger for good stuff, and that’s @wackybecky ;)

 IMG_6243a

So yes, they’re on promotion now. Check them out if you like :)

 

After dinner came the awesome Starbucks #hooraygang Borak session! With Botakai’s shoe….. in Meiyingt’s face. Hmm.
