MotorHunt

Last Saturday, I participated in the treasure hunt organized by my ex-company. My friends invited another fried and I to form a team. Sure, why not. It'd be fun. :)

Izzah had to withdraw at the last minute because her baby, Sarah wasn't so keen to be left behind by both parents. But she did help out as our talian hayat (lifeline). :)

It started out at Tropicana, PJ. The clues brought us to Uptown Damansara, Taman Tun, Bandar Menjalara, Kepong and Sri Gombak before arriving at the last pitstop in Selesa Hill Resort, Bukit Tinggi.
