Blue Wrap and Red Tie

Its the season to be jolly, lalalalala-lalalala

The final decision rested with Mary. Two thumbs up determine the winner of the gift wrapping game. Wrap-it and tie-it up.

Mohd Dollah in black, is already tying his ribbon when competitor Hamdan is still in the process of wrapping. Another competitor, Suhaili (right) tries to work with the cellotapes.

GM bursting his wrapper. 'Disqualified!' cried the MC.

p/s Puan Azizah, if you get a nicely wrapped gift from yours sincerely, you know, he didn't do it.

Mohd Dollah getting thumbs up from Mary, emerged the winner of the game - receiving his prize from Puan Azizah.

The participants were selected based on their previous knowledge of making the origami basket. This is a competition to test their skills, speed, technic and strategies. Papers are usually derived from poor magazines, duplicate brochures or any type of paper that is available (emmm... there goes the bulletin). Folding skill is a pre-requisite while cutting or snipping skill is secondary; the basket can be made without any cutting (for lighter content-holding). The participants had been practising for the past few months. Tonight is the night to unfold the champion in this particular origami-basket-making.

Zainab serious at work.

The champion for magazine ripping and origami making goes to: Mary!

Steel Clips vs Steel Fingers

What does a technical guy has in common with the paper clip?

Both have fingers of steel! Okay, maybe practise make perfect and to lessen the stiffness. Superman, Superman ....

The task is to clip the paper with as many paper clips as they can within 2 minutes (requested by time-keeper). Sound easy. Even a photostate machine can do it in this technological era. After the word 'GO', it really was not as easy as imagined!

Francis laughing at himself. Singing the whole night through is much, much easier for him.

Anthony in red with Suhaili on his left, showing the rest how easy it was to learn new skills.

Ranggie (left) and Mahmud (right) having difficulty with long-sightedness. Should have brought along his glasses, eh!

Zainab (left) counting the clips by Suhaili. 31 on first and second count. It's a tie!

Anthony and Suhaili going for the tie breaker - the fastest to chain up ten paper clips. If you have done it, you would know what to do.

Anthony receiving his prize from Siti Zubaidah. He beaten Suhaili by 4 paper clips.

Plucking Baby Beans' tails

This is not a game. Its a competition. The participants had been practising since the 60's. The task requires speed and coordination. The one having the heaviest tailess babies win!

Jorinah (left) trying to keep her cool while Inie (right) getting her strategy right.

Inie (left) laughing ~ child play. Roslyn (right) concentrating at the little tails.

Julia (left) ~ wishes her mum was around to act as proxy. Grace (far right) ~ dressing up for a cooking demonstration! @#%(

Puan Azizah, sporting all the way. "Out of all the things.." must be playing in her mind. No surveying school in the world has this in their programs.

Roslyn emerged the winner at 3.5 ounce (he he); receiving her prize from Zainal.

Amazing Spider Race without a mouse

This is a game that tests one sorting skills, speed, hands-eyes coordination, strategy, pictorial recognition, moving skills and of cause understanding the instructions. The participants had practised the routine for years BUT with the help of a mouse. Without the mouse, it was purely men versus devious moves plus good luck.

Being briefed by the coordinator who didn't know what to call the faces of the pack.

Zaidi (left) can't believe his luck when Sabri (right) returned his pack.

Mohammad (left) looking for diamonds. The only one who got a red beginning. Zainal (right) was fast on the sorting but he didn't run to the finishing point first.

Zaidi who won the game, getting his cards scrutinized by Zainab. Winning is fun!!
