Today is 23th May 2008. Our team have a teambuilding event at Queen’s Bay Mall. We are doing Walk Hunt inside the mall, it’s some sort of treasure hunt game but now we are guess the anwer which is one of the shop’s name in the mall throughout the route given by organizer.
The game last for around 3 hours, from 2.30pm to 5.30pm and we also walk for around 2 1/2 hour to search the shop around. The question is quite interesting and hard to guess for a normal people who seldom join this kind of game and weak at languages, let me give an example.
Q. He keeps the sign of Victory : keyword: keeps
The answer is
Sign of Victory is V (popularized by Churchill after WW2 when he held up 2 fingers as a V sign)
He is DIA in Bahasa.
So We have DI V A (DIA is keeping V)
So, what is your comment here? for the question.
Hehe, the answer in Walkhunt is not straight forward and sometime you need to twist your brain to another side.
After finish walk and guess for around 3 hours, we have our ‘buffet’ dinner in T.G.I. Friday’s and also present giving ceremony there. Due to the reason that we have treasure hunt expert in my team, we are able to get the Third Prize out of the 8 team that have prize – it’s a medium hamper.
We queue up then eat and eat and eat, suddenly the team of waiter and waitress shouting laud in the restaurant, I doesn’t know what is happening, so i continue eat the remaining last piece of chocolate cheese cake.
To my surprise, the team of waiter and waitress come to my table and ask me to stand up on my chair, then i only know i get tricked by friend, so i force to pretend that i am the birthday boy(a good-will liar), since they already think that tonight is my birthday.
The feeling inside me is complex, i don’t want to let the waiters down and i feel i cheat them for the service they provide, i also embarrass as some of my friends who know my birthday also in this buffet. At the end, i pretend to be the birthday boy – a beautiful liar for everybody’s pleasure(i think).
It’s starting like this – the waiter and waitress start shouting near the kitchen – sound like ” there is a boom today in the restaurent”. Then, they come to the birthday guy and ask him to stand on top of the chair, and give him/her a mic(what i receive is a pepper shaver) and ask him/her to sing a song – cannot be birthday song, can be any chinese/english or any language of song(not children song also). My singing is bad and can’t really remember the lyrics – drag here and drag there- finally sing a bit of ‘Tong Hua’ of Guang Liang with sound that nearly reach the end of the restaurent by the request of the waiter. Really can’t tahan their request..
but after this, they reply me with their RAP version of birthday song- really nice
Firstly sing by waiter and then follow by waitress, then back to waiter – everyone in the restaurent include out team member – around 60 people are crapping hand with the rap song. And after the rap birthday song, they end the singing with the rasa sayang in rap version also..hehe it’s pretty fun. They ask me to dance on the chair also, and say i am not dance enough, i just very hard and not moving.. not as happy like a birthday boy.
All this end with a birthday cake, ice cream cake with one candle.. too bad, to eat it, i need to blow it from 2 meter away. It’s hard to blow that by simly blow from your mouth – it needs to focus your mouth using your hand to the candle direction.
The cake is delicious although i already 90% full, and really worth it by the effort of singing and dancing abit. It’s one of the best cake in TGI Friday. Pretty happy and embarass for myself .
All the people thought i am birthday that night, thanks for all the birthday wishes =P, even big boss KS also come to congrate me for the fake birthday.
Hope everyone enjoy the meal and all these entertainment. If you ever take my picture or video during the buffet dinner, please send to me. It’s a beautiful experience, probably next time when your birthday come, you can try dinner at this shop.
