I wake up early today. The day was perfect, just as good as my health and enthusiasm. Hehehe.. over acting na naman!
But seriously, I joined in the Olympus Scavenger Hunt today together with the photonski guys. It was a team competiion and we fielded 4 teams. The first team the Agila Team with Marc as the team leader, then the Green Team with Bong as team leader, Goryo's Angels Team with Goryo as team leader, and the pa-cute team. There were other teams composed mostly of local Singaporeans and they look determined and had advantage over us - they have cars! But that did not dampen our spirits. Sabi pa nga ni Goryo "Pinoy tayo marunong at makakagawa ng paraan".
Indeed, he was right. A Pinoy team won, and you know what? It was our team! Yeheeey.....!
We beat 11 other teams and got an Olympus FE-160 for each member of the team. Our team composed of Goryo, Charlotte, Alain, Henry and me, did what others could not dare to do - run fast. Oh, you should have seen how a 200 pounder boys runs. It would look like and elephant, a hippo, a urangutang, and a rhino is on the loose. Spare our lady, for she was fit and was intrumental for the 500-meter dash to the last work task.
Frankly, the contest was more on running and exploring the city, ala Amazing Race, rather than a photo competition. We were given 10 task. In each task, we need to take a picture of a particular landmark or take macro/wide angle shot on an identified subject. No consideration of the composition or technical attributes, just take the picture. This was to the dismay of most contestants who was expecting competition on skills and creativity.
Well, I couldn't complain... we won! hehehe. Here's my price
And the photonski teams...
