Starbucks: Treasure Hunt 2013

某天在面子书看到Starbucks 举办Treasure Hunt活动的比赛, 想都没想就决定参加，然后我也很幸运的被选中。怎么知道那个星期六刚好是清明节，所以好多游子都回家去，真的折腾我好几天才找到人去，因为一组要有4个人（那时我只找到彩云一人）。还记得那天我急得在我面子书的chatbox一个个pm以及在group 里面刊登找队友,全部都有理由无法出席，大概凌晨2点才找到一个叫“黄伟明”的男生和他的朋友还有施先生。由于刚好凑够人数，我就推掉了迟了几分钟回复我的施先生，可到比赛前几天那个之前拍胸口说绝对不会放飞机的人竟然爽约！黄伟明的朋友说因为时间太早，所以决定缺席；过后因为他自己的朋友不想来所以他也不要参加，那时我真的给他们耍疯了！没办法，我只好厚着脸皮问回施先生，还好他很大方，没有因为之前被我拒绝而显得不开心，而且还很乐意的配合一切。

One day, I saw there was a treasure hunt event organized by Starbucks. Without much hesitation, I applied to join and felt so lucky to be selected as one of the participants. However, this treasure hunt event must have 4 members for each group, therefore I need to search for another 3 persons to join me. I had Choi Yun with me but still lack of 2 persons. I asked around, coincidentally 'Qing Ming' was on the day of the event, and everyone was going back to hometown. Struggling for few days, eventually I managed to get Eric and Steve to join me.

我到最后一天还找不到第四位队友，只好叫我的后备Eric 上阵，其实他的脚开过刀很不适合这些爬山之类的活动，可是我又找不到人选，只好苦苦哀求他答应，只不过我也说那些爬来爬去的活动都不会给他做。

Eric had operations at his leg and unable to do heavy job. He rejected to join at first but after persuading him for many times, finally he agreed to join as I failed to get fourth person.

那天早上我，Eric和彩云一起共车去因为大家都住附近不远。我们6点半就出发了，由于地方有点远，所以抵达时已经接近8点。猜猜这是哪里？

That morning, Eric, Choi Yun and I having car pooling as our houses were nearby. We departed at 6.30am and arrived around 8am because the location was bit far away from our houses. Guess where is this place?

这里就是本地出名的休闲地点-Air Terjun Sg Kanching，接近万绕市区。这时的太阳还不是很晒，空气非常新鲜，好久没来森林运动下筋骨。早上已经看到许多人潮了。

This is the local famous recreational park- Sg Kanching waterfall, located at Rawang. By the time we reached, the sun was not very hot, the air was fresh. 

当天的主题是青色，衣着最美的组别有很丰富的礼物，所以那天真的看到很多组别很细心的打扮一番。本来我也想说要衣着做些花样，怎么知道因为忙着找人，已经不够时间准备那么多东西了。

The theme of the outfit was green. For 3 groups who vowed the judges by their creativity of outfit, they can get a big prize from Berjaya for air ticket and hotel stay.

现场椅子不是很足够，我们很幸运的可以找到位子坐下来，等待活动的开始。那天Starbucks也有准备咖啡的饮料，礼袋内也有面包作早餐。

There was not enough chair for all to have a seat. Nevertheless, we arrived early and managed to get a seat waiting for event to start. That day Starbucks also prepared some coffee, and bread (inside goodies bag) for us as breakfast.

先来一张单人照，本人青衣不多，所以好辛苦找到适合的一件。

Had a self portrait~~ I did not have many green colour clothes. 

来一张组别的照片，哈哈那两位也是没有青衣穿，所以就穿别的颜色。

Had a group photo shooting~~My other 2 members also did not wear green clothes. 

这里好多猴子，可能我们有食物吃，所以大伙儿都走过来凑热闹。只是我们不能给食物它们吃，因为这会让它们以为你有食物吃，然后追着你或者攻击你。

There was so many monkeys walking and swinging on the trees looking for food. We were told not to feed them as they might come or chase or even attack you later if you did not give them food.

这是大伙儿的全体照，可以说人多到拍不完哦！哈哈，我在第一排左边。

This was a group photo for all participants for that day. We are so many until the photographer can't shoot all in the picture and we looked so small until our faces can not be seen clearly.

活动开始前先来个热身运动。这时太阳已经升起来，开始出汗了！

Before the event started, we had some exercise to stretch our muscles. The sun raised up high in the sky, we started to sweat.

开始时，主办人一个个派信封，里面的纸条就如上图所示。我们要解开才能到下个关头。唉，主办人话都没说清楚，一些组别已经先离开这地方，走到下一站去。我是后来发现怎么这些人那么快解答完走了呢？因为心急，跑去问派信封的人，他们才对我说他们什么都不清楚，必须去第三站的Marshall那里问，当时候我简直傻掉，原来不需要解答第一个都可以直接走去下一站接受挑战。这时我们已经发现太迟了，慢了许多。

We were all given a envelope, inside was a paper as above. We need to complete it to get the clue before proceed to another station. I was so curious halfway completing the clue as many teams already left. I wondered how they all can complete so fast?! I went to the person who distributed the letter, they told me they did not know anything and all questions should be directed to the Marshall waiting at checkpoint 3. I had a shock because we did not have to answer, complete  and submit the first clue prior to next station. Teams left earlier because they already know which station to go by asking the person distributing envelope. At this point, we were far left behind.

这里的地方好高，要上上下下多层楼梯，累得我们在那气喘。不过，这里乃是嬉水的好地方。

The waterfall was divided into seven floors. We had to climbed up and down the stairs during the game. At halfway, we all were short of breath as we try to catch up by running. Nevertheless, this is a nice place for swimming.

这是第二个挑战，也是要完成纸张上的谜题才能找到答案。这里是第三层，这迷底的答案接着领我们到第五层。

This was the second challenge, we had to complete it and get the clue. We were at the third floor and this clue led us to fifth floor.

这里总共有七层那么高。看吧，从那楼梯看下去，会不会脚软呢？

最近我才去了Sg Gabai 瀑布，这里的环境好多了，楼梯都有扶手，地上滑滑不怕跌倒。而且瀑布是分了好几层，这层满了可去下一层，当局也建了一些设施作水流控制。

I went Sg Gabai waterfall recently. By comparing both places, the environment here is far better. The local government built banisters along the staircase which we can hold it to prevent slippery. Other than that, as the waterfall here is divided into seven floors, we can swim at the floor which crowd is lesser. 

第五层是完全没有什么指示，树枝上全铺满了字母，你猜猜他在写什么？我可以说看了傻眼！老实说，我们都不知道，不过有人说去了第五层后，就下去第四层。

At fifth floor, there was no paper given, all are those letters hung on the tree branches.

下一个任务是拼图，排好以及拍了照片后，我们就往下一站去。这是唯一一站不用猜字的哦！

Next task is jigsaw. After arranging and taking photo, we proceed to next station. This was the only station that we no need to guess words!

上到最高，现在要下回去，脚有点酸了。

Now it was time to go down again.

这一站真的很奇怪，有几个休闲棚内贴满了英文字母，我们不知道要做些什么，只是知道所有人都在抄，所以我们也跟着抄下来。

I felt weird at this station. There was few gloriettes which the stone table was covered with alphabets. Everyone was copying down the words. We did not know what to do and follow them to copy everything in each gloriettes.

不只是桌子上有字母，连柱子，棚都有。

每个桌子上都有字母，你可以猜到这是什么字吗？其实他是starbucks，我真的疯了，那几个字母也不懂是故意不要放下去，还是给先前的组别放去别的地方调乱！

Are you able to guess what word is this? The answer is Starbucks. I was mad at that time as few alphabets were gone.

这就是所有我们必须完成的纸条，要找出里面的答案，全部答案都是排字或猜字，总结来说，感觉是英文好的人才能很顺利以及快速完成。这比起我先前在云顶玩的大不同，因为那时有绑着眼睛过地雷的游戏（只靠队友的指示左右），射箭，有去找那些物品/景点拍照的关，有考我们IQ用那几块三角形去拼图片上的形状，有考验我们组员的合作用那两支木棍过‘河’等等。

These were all the tasks we need to complete before we submitted at final checkpoint. As conclusion, I think that this game seem unfair to some of us because those who were good in English vocabulary can finish it fast without difficulty. Comparing to treasure hunt that I played before in Genting, this was rather boring. I had much fun in Genting treasure hunt as all games were very interesting involving physical fitness, concentration, IQ and cooperation of team members.

这是在登记处拿到的纸条，他们没交代是什么用途，组员们都好奇的问。哈哈，果然给我猜中是下午拿来换取午餐用的。

These printed papers were given during registration but I was not told the usage of them. As I anticipated, the papers were used to redeem our lunch.

在拿水处发生了一些小插曲。我们爬上爬下已经很累，也很口渴，怕身体会中暑或者脱水想去Starbucks的货车拿点水喝，不料一位高层却阻拦我们这么做说什么游戏完毕以及颁奖后才能去拿水喝和拿饭吃！他还说礼袋里面已经有一支水，可他没想到那么小瓶水一下子都给我们喝完啦！听了我真的蛮不爽的说，因为你都没做任何运动，不知道我们多么口渴，跟你拿水喝却要等到结束才能吃喝，也不知道要等到几时。争论一番后，他才愿意派冰水，可是冰水真的很肮脏，我是第一个盛水的人，里面有好多杂物，不能喝，后面那几个跟我一样把水都倒掉。又过了不久，他们的货车才肯派Starbucks 的冰沙饮料。

我们四人一人一杯。饮料有绿茶，是很不错的新口味。

Our drinks from Starbucks. This is a new flavour from Starbucks. They add green tea inside. Overall, it is great!

这是我们的午餐饭盒。

Our lunch box

里面有大大只的鸡肉，花生以及饭，像我这样的女生肯定吃不完。

We were given chicken, peanut and rice. For girls like me might unable to finish it as the serving portion was too big.

吃完后，就是颁奖仪式，恭喜Chow yin yin 那组获得最佳服装奖的第三名。

我也忘了第二组是谁，但是这一组是实至名归，活动还没开始前，看到他们的服装设计真的令在场的人目瞪口呆，衣服帽子都有Starbucks的logo,还做了一把大雨伞，真的好创意！他们拿到最佳服装第一名真的不稀奇。

The first prize for best costume went to this group. Without opposition, they all being recognized by crowd and judges as the winners due to their creativity in designing such amazing outfit. They got RM10k prize sponsored by Berjaya Air.

这是Treasure Hunt 活动比赛第一名的组别。

This was the group who won number one in the competition.

这是他们的奖品，我好羡慕他们的三天两夜旅游配套哦！

Look at their prize! I wish I am the winner to bring home the 3 days 2 nights stay in Langkawi!

这是我和组员的合影，谢谢你们成为我的组员，虽然没赢，但是我相信我们也玩得愉快。

Another group photo of my team after the game. Even though we did not win the game, I believe that everyone of us were happy and had fun throughout the event.

这是我和彩云的合照，感谢Steve帮我们拍，不要怪我啰嗦催你要照片那么多次。

这是礼袋里面的礼物，有卡片盒，Starbucks 茶盒，Starbucks 杯子，highlight 笔，MYC 杂志，Tourism Selangor 的note pad 以及这一整年的活动好去处特刊。除了这以外，Starbucks 也有送一些饮料礼卷，还是挺不错的说！
