Ever wonder why there is no amazing race in Malaysia? I always joked to my friend that i wanted to join the Amazing Race on TV...........but i have been reminded that amazing race happens all the time in Malaysia. That is why we dont need TV documentaries to show us what amazing race looks like. A good example is the Genting Amazing Race that i encounter, come to think about it, everytime i go vacation also encounter amazing race........maybe i shouldn't pray so hard for Amazing Race Last time. Regretted ah..........let share what kind of amazing race we can see in Malaysia.
TOTO, Magnum, 3D
This is seasonal amazing race. Usually Mondays, Wednesday or watever day there is betting. Operation hours are actually 10am - 7.00pm. All throughout the day, usually is 'swat fly' but when come 6.30pm...........hoho suddenly u see amazing race. People black, white, tall, short, rich, poor will suddenly come and place bets. You can see cars stopping in the middle of the road, and the the guy just hop off to buy TOTO. Creativity is really needed.Bets closes at 7pm and here are a million people queeing. You might stand a chance to get even more than 1 million. U must have iron will and calm personality. If not u might get the urge to "lau sai' if u see the time is 6.59pm and there are 10 people in front of u. More shok that the TV Amazing Race.
Difficulty Level = Medium
Players = Over 18, likes to dream to be billionaire but earning cleaner salary, ah peks and housewifes
Reward = can be from RM2 to billions depending on luck and what kind of underwear u are wearing when u bet
ERL Mad Rush
I always wonder why those that work in cyber take big back packs like going back packing. After riding it for a few times i know why. Most of us rush for the 6.05pm ERL. Feeder bus rrives at 5.40pm and reaches station at 6.00pm. Before u reach the boarding place, u have to :-
1. get down from bus
2. run to erl counter and buy ticket
3. get through the gate
4. run down the steps
5. press the erl door button
To accomplish this, u need to do the below:-
a. Never stand at the back of the bus, always insists to stand next to the driver. U can also hang at the steps. This is to decrease the time that u need to get down and run to the station counter. This is important as there are no windows you can jump out from. Only exit is through the door.
b. OK NOW RUN FAST FAST to the ticket counter. U didnt put on your Air Jordan Nike shoes is it? I didnt tell u in Step a. ? ok ok, put on nike shoes and head band on head ( to advoid hair obstructing view)..It would be advantagous if u are ex-100m sprinter, holder of M'sian record/Commonwealth Record/ Olympic Record.
c. After making it to the counter, u might be out of breath, but tell ticketer u need ticket to KL Sentral ASAP. Now i dunno why, but ticketer always work in slow motion, machine is slow, printing receipt is slow. Like the maybe the gravity behind counter is more. Its a physic thing i cannot explain.
d. Got your ticket? OK now move to gate. Gate is not the rolling type, its the 'two wing type that flaps open and close. Now, this door must be 100 years old, U cannot put your card immediately after the next person. It will get angry and delay your time even more. U have to wait for the sign. When it says ' welcome', then insert ur card gently. It will flap open.Caution to skinny people, it cannot scan them when they pass through. so it will remain open even after the person has gone through, boarded the train and reach KL Sentral. In situations like this, perform 'Wong Fei Hung' invinsible kick. Not kick the machine. SIOW AH!! Kick the space between it. It will read and close accordingly. Dunno it work for skinny people or not but works for piggy........piggy got big leg? hm.......ok to be safe , if u are skinny do NOT stand in front
of skinny people.
e. If u are sucessful then u will see stair 1/2 the lenght of Batu Caves. Start running down because the train is leaving in 30 seconds. If u have stuntman experiance, climb trees in your childhood, have climb kinabalu and Tahan, u can start climbing down on the rails, If u have work for Jacky Chan, u can straight jump down
f. So if u pass the steps, u should be in the train by now, looking at people still running down the stairs. If u didnt make it, u can start warming down. Take deep deep breath 3 times, and wait for the next train.
Difficulty Level = High
Players = Programmers that go to gym often
Reward = Can reach home in time for 7pm Chinese show
DISCOUNT RUSH
Nowadays big places like Carrefour, Jaya Jusco always have 1 hour mad discount. Jusco still ok. Place is small but Carrefour....................... now tht is amazing race. When u pass by the durians, its RM10 per packet. U were thinking ' damn expensive' and u continue shopping. After 10 aisle away u heard annoucement, 'DURIAN DURIAN RM1 per packet' GOD.......!!! Now u have to rush back to aisle 1 with your trolley full of veges, dead fish, sanitary pads, sardin can food, maggi mee, pringles...etc etc. It s a lot heavier but still u made for the mad rush....GO GO GO...........zoom ur cart goes...sardin can fall off......aiya, to pick up or not.......? ok ignore, zoom faster....aisle 3.....sanitary pad fall off...........eeeya...durian more important........zoom faster, reach durian.......and find there are 30 carts around it. U can only smell the taste but cannot get it.......too bad, next time remember to bring your roller blades along.
