Treasure hunting!

Participate in a very small scale (a.k.a badly organised) Treasure Hunt last weekend. It was actually a Food and Heritage Hunt, so you would expect lots of food and hunting games. But it was quite a disappointing event overall because me and my team won NOTHING!

First station was the Esplanade Park and we were asked to search for the following locations and snap a picture of these places using our mobile phone. Any idea where these places are?

Answer:
Yhingthai Place, a Thai Restaurant at Purvis Street

Answer:

NO IDEA!!

Answer:

Obvious right? The Cavenagh Bridge next to Fullerton Hotel. DUH?? How stupid is the organiser of the hunt to give this kind of task? No brainer! Something more challenging please...

Answer:

Statue of Sir Stamford Raffles in front of Victoria Concert Hall.

Answer:

One of the monuments in Esplanade Park. Name? Forgotten liao...

After snapping a series of other photos, we had to complete a set of jigsaw puzzle in under 8 minutes. Erm... Jigsaw Puzzle? Treasure Hunt? Erm... more creative please!

After completing these tasks, we had to run down to our next check-point at Bugis. Over there, we had to search for a number of answers to some heritage questions, do Bambo Rock dance (all old people, so my team sprained our back!) and play chatek. We failed miserably because none of us can really kick chatek!

From Bugis, we were instructed to run down to Chinatown and had to search for more answers to more heritage questions. Some of the places we had to visit are:

It was a good experience but I think many other teams cheated as they gave answers to their friends in other teams and shared the prize money of $500. Overall, this was a bad experience compared to other treasure hunts I had participated in (remember the Half-a-million-dollar Treasure Hunt??!!).
