Explorace-ish

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to create a protective layer for the chicken egg so that when it is dropped from waist-high, it shall remain undamaged. We had to accept it of course. No choice. We were given straws, papers and rubber bands, and if the stuff supplied were not enough, we could always "buy" more. My team went with slow and steady, not wanting to risk bankruptcy (which would certainly befall those who failed to protect the chicken egg).



One, two, three teams finished off before us. We remained calm. Lo and behold, the ground didn't leave a scratch on that egg, not even a little. Hooray! Just as expected, tiny raindrops start to fall, but that didn't stop us. Second checkpoint it is. The next task is to sing a song specially for kak Kek before proceeding to the tyre thingy

This tyre thingy

Next, we had to make some kind of animal design on the ground using leaves, branches and what not. After that, we had to walk on that thingy that gymnasts use before going through this obstacle right here:



My team had to compete with the other team which has Rasyid in it. He went in first and I was just a bit behind. Probably you guys never knew the side of me that likes getting into mud and getting dirt all over. I was like "Alhamdulillah that my team need not do the spider thingy". I was determined to beat Rasyid. Reached the end of the obstacle sooner than him. Yeah.. Girl power! :P

We raced off to the next checkpoint where we used anything that we had to make a long line. The real problem was the fact that we had to retie our shoes. I, having some conflicts going on with the aglet, decided to leave it be. The rain was pouring heavily; cats and dogs, I must say.

The last checkpoint required a bit of cuddling together with the members of the group. We were tied with a very thin string, where we had to navigate through the given route before doing the tossing and catching thing.

To our amazement, we finished off third. Alhamdulillah. We celebrated, drenched and cold. I guess this activity would be a dull one if there wasn't any rain.

Yupp.. That's how my shoe turned out to be
