ROCK Amazing Race 2011 (Part 1)

ROCK Amazing Race is an annual event organised by ROCK Youth. It has been probably been hitting the city of Kuala Lumpur (and partially Selangor) the past few years. And recently, in March, it was held all over Kuala Lumpur. For this year, the theme is “I LOVE MY CITY”. I think many of the youths these days have failed to recognise the importance of loving the country, or even the importance of standing by our nation. Youths these days tend to drift away in their own world criticising their own country due to many factors. Here, “I LOVE MY CITY” is one of the best themes to inculcate in a youth event to encourage participation and love for their nation. I will be going through the routes of the race all over Kuala Lumpur. Pretty fun and exciting one. All geared up at the Registration Counter. Participants all in their sports attire, ready to run and race. They know it’s not gonna be easy for the amount of cash they are gonna get. This is Toly, with Matthew Oh curi-ing glamour behind. All ready to START! First task was probably the easiest in an Amazing Race. Sorting the beans. On a side note, have you ever wondered, if you count the beans, how much effort the organiser has to put in? I am a little curious. Next stop was at the Open Area at Maybank. The task? Was to sing Jaclyn Victor’s Gemilang in the public. They were learning the song there. Who cares the tunes, the tones, the melody and the lyrics? People just wanted to get away from such a tough song. Jaclyn Victor was the 1st Malaysian Idol winning over Dina many years back. Her rendition of Gemilang was probably proved that she is a “super duper” singer and Malaysia still have a great talents. The next stop was behind KLCC, if I remembered correctly. They were given a break with sandwiches and drinks. Next part UP soon!
