samsung corby carnival day
so i sent my confirmation back to nuffnang and waiting for the reply happily because this one will be my first nuffnang event. :) imagine i will win a brand new CORBY back this weekend. then i become coolest person because i have CORBY. muahahahahaa :D !
so finally i received the confirmation email from nuffnang! so i will be joining the event! woohoo! but few minutes later, nuffnang sent me another email and they REVOKE my invitation! i was damn 'kam cheong' that time. imagine CORBY flying away from me. T_T i wanted to contact them but tat time is lunch time. and food is more important than anything else, so i decided to go have my lunch first.
after my lunch, nuffnang sent me an email stated that the revoke of application is system error. phew. so, i am invited! so i am going to SUNWAY this sat. woohoo!
as my gf is invited for the event, she went all the way down from penang on friday. this is her first nuffnang event too. so ah kit, kelvin, michael, my gf and i will be joining the event ^^.
kelvin and ah kit
michael aka ah chun
my gf and i
as 3 of them stay in genting klang and my gf and i will be staying in pj, so we met at kelana jaya at 830. that morning when i was waiting for lrt (my gf left me at lrt station T_T), surprisingly i met 3 of them in lrt. then after that we went to sunway together.
when we reached there, we registered at the counter at sunway lagoon. surprisingly(0.0)5 of us were in the same group !!! we were in yellow group. we are Yellow Man. i will follow u ~ means either all of us win OR we don get anything. we met our group members too while we were waiting.
we entered extreme park as all the event will be around extreme park. when we reached surf deck, there was breakfast waiting for us. when i was eating my breakfast, suprisingly i met my friend, asyraf there. then we chit chat a bit and catch up with our recent activities.

then Liang the mc started the event. first someone highly ranked from samsung (i think should be the chairman, forgot the post) give some speech about the event. after the speech, the first event started!
the samsung people giving speech
the winning team will get 50 points. the second place will get 20 points and the third place will get 10 points. last place will get nothing at all.
the first event is
Trample On Balloon. 10 person from each team joined the competition. first our opponent is pink group. in first match we lost to pink group because when i was happily trying to step balloon, other people whose balloon has exploded came and step my balloon. =.=" so everyone was stepping other group balloon no matter their balloon exploded or not. in the end all people rush to the only person whose balloon haven exploded. imagine u are that person at that time. i believe u will like meatball when it finish. lol
yellow man in the match~
although we lost in first match, we don lost our spirit. we rearrange our strategy as there is no losing, only wrong strategy. after that our opponent is white team. in this one we can use our hand. muahahahhahaha. so when it started i just grabbed the balloons and pong! And Hurray ~ the balloons exploded! so in this match we won with most of our team member balloon don explode. so we got 10 points in this event.
me leg with balloon
the second event is Get-wet-u aka tug-of-war in the pool. this event is considered one of the worst event for our team. imagine mike tyson vs manny pacquiao. flyweight vs heavyweight. bang mana boleh menang. as predicted, our team lost both matches. our team totally cannot fight with heavyweight. all fell down in the water. kesian them. so this event-0 point. T_T
imagine these 2 guys fight in a match. even mike tyson picture is larger than manny pacquiao. lol
in these 2 event we only managed to get 10 points while orange team managed to get 100 points. it is 90 points difference. so at that time i thought it is time to bid goodbye to CORBY. T_T but miracle happen next.
bye bye corby. T_T
the third event is wall climbing. first we are required to reach the top then grab a balloon down. as each team has different route and different route has different difficulty, so apparently only white team managed to get few balloons down. after that they change the rule. then it is time for our team to shine. lol. our team MVP, michael aka chun managed to climb a few times up there and we won this event. so this event we managed to get 50 points.
Xtreme park. it is where u get XTREME~ woohoo~ n in this pic is where wall climbing take place
last event is paintball. this one is the most exciting competition among all. so in this event each team will have 2 sub team to compete in the event. i am in team 1 together with kelvin, ah kit, MVP michael chun and our leader wai hoe kellaw.
the rule of the match is simple. which team managed to grab the flag back to their base win the match. if when u are hit, u must go back to ur base and touch the wall. only then u can continue playing. if u are hit while u are grabbing the flag, u must put down the flag at the place and go back to base.
for us paintball is the only event that decide whether we go home with a brand new CORBY or nothing at all because winner of paintball get 100 points! even second place get 50 points as well. so it will decide whether we are comeback king or not.
briefing
the warplace
we are prepared!
in first match our opponent is white team. in this match chun and i will be runner. while ah kit, kelvin and wai hoe will be sniper. runner job is to grab the flag while 3 of them try to hit the opponent and slow their pace as once u are hit, u must go back to the base.
in this match i was damn unlucky. unfortunately i get the wrong gun. the gun cannot FUNCTION at all! and i didnt realize it until the match started. so when i was trying to shoot the opponent, the pellets wont come out. i was scolding 'wtf wtf' during the match but i guess no one heard me. lol. so i raised up my hand and try to complain to marshal (referee) but my hand become target pulak. so bang bang bang! i was hit by opponent team as i was trying to complain. lol. they all focus shooting on me. but it is a good thing bacause that time chun grabbed the flag back to our base. so we won! woohoo!!!! we proceed to next round!
see the orange paint on my hair? it is just like matrix. jz pass through my head.
while we were celebrating our victories, unfortunately our team 2 lost. so our team is the only hope for samsung corby.
in the second match our team opponent is orange team. we knew that no matter what we must win this match so that we have chance to go back with CORBY. cannot let orange team win. lol. so we entered with high spirit. as usual, chun and i will be runner and 3 of them will be sniper-shoot all opponent. lol. i tried to grab the flag back but suddenly i was hit. so i put the flag down. and chun grab the flag back and we won! woohoo~ we came out with our head held high. but in this match everyone got hit. and chun hurt his shoulder.
so we proceeded to final. in this round our opponent is orange team (why there are so many orange people?). in this match is very important for both our team. winner of this match can get 100 points, double the points of previously collected. so means that who win this match can go back with brand new CORBY!
in this match the marshal emphasized on the rule. he mentioned that we cannot take our face mask off. the most important thing is we must be HONEST. if u are hit then u must put down the flag and go back to the base before you play again. whoever break the rule will be DISQUALIFIED. (notice the caps? it means that it is very important)
we before the match. from left to right, ah kit, michael chun, kelvin, wai hoe and me
when the match started, everyone was busying firing the pellet to the opponent in the hope that pellet will hit the opponent. as usual, chun and i were trying to grab the flag. first i reached the flag pole and i grabbed it. but i was hit. and i put the flag down and go back to my base. after that opponent team grabbed their flag. although he/she was hit by us continuously he/she still ran back to the base. it is damn unfair! we put our flag down when we were hit but they ran back although they were hit!
we complained to the marshal about this and they told us that they will decide it. so we went back to surf deck and have our lunch. and we were praying for good news because apparently they are disqualified. and we need to rest because all the injuries on our body.
me with all the marks after the paintball game
injuries on my body. 1st pic-right arm, 2nd pic-stomach , 3rd pic-left shoulder, 4th pic-right shoulder , 5th pic-left arm, 6th pic-my face. T_T
but the news is disappointing us. orange team still won the match and they go back with CORBY. as a consolation we went back with RM100 each. still not that bad. but when compare CORBY with RM100 definitely CORBY is better.
pic with the mock cheque. lol
although i didnt win a CORBY as i hoped, i am still thinking that this is one of the greatest and most fun event i ever joined. thanks nuffnang and samsung for the opportunity. =)
