The Next Stop

Yesterday I went out with some of my new friends who I actually just recently met (like like week and this wednesday) to participate in a treasure hunt organized by the anime club and malaysian club. Starting around 10:45am, my group started running around frantically with no clue as to where to find the hidden boxes that would lead to our next clue. We then realised that on the paper that they gave us, there were hidden messages with different locations. He had alot of trouble finding one particular box, which was supposedly taken away by some cleaner which left everyone running around like headless chooks.

Next clue lead us to the Melbourne Museum where we had to find different things and take photos of them. I was seriously tired already, as I ran most of the time. When we finally finished, we headed to the next location, which was Flagstaff gardens. I HATE THE NEXT ACTIVITY SO MUCH!! When we arrived, we all had to face back to back, and then had our feet tied together so we had 6 legs ( like a 3 legged race except with 3 legs in front and 6 in the back). The string that they used totally cut into our feet which has resulted in serious bruising. Seriously, I haven't had such big bruises in years! So then there were 3 other minigames which were alright but nothing special.

We then headed to the 2nd last location which was the bridge thing in myers. This required more photo taking and heaps of running. What annoyed me the most was this one part where we had to find 3 eroded white chairs shaped like the no.3. I originally spotted 3 white chairs, but they weren't "eroded" or looked anything like the no.3 so we didn't take it. But apparently that was it!! we spent ages looking for it, running up and down lvl 2 and 3.

When we finished, we headed to the final location which was some place past big w where there is some fake green lawn. We knew we didn't come first out of the 25 teams competing, but we thought we did pretty well. In the end we came 11th and were given some nice tea. Did I mention that the prizes were a ds for every member who came first, a debit card for 2nd place and movie passes for 3rd?
When everyone finished, we headed to the state library lawn to give out the prizes.

Some really geeky looking guys (all westerners, not asian!)came to receive there first place. I didn't mind too much, overall, I had a pretty good time. What sucked was the participation prize, which was one free game at intencity and a coupon buy 2 get 1 free for gloria jeans which can only be used near caulfield. I'm never going to use them, which renders them useless. Does anyone want them? Will add a bonus $10 bonus game pass at intencity!
Overall it was a good day out, except now I'm aching all over and I can't move too much :/
