Tembak Series 1

Last weekend, I received a breaking news via text message from Alvin Wong, a Sabahan master hunter in the Time Out Solutions' Hall of Fame from the team known as Main Tembak. He sought my help to promote their unofficial hunt to be held on 09 May, which I gladly obliged. In return he said he will cancel his intended handicap system against master hunters. Yeah right, if they are setting the hunt, then I am the only master hunter left in the field. Very funny! And that title was forced unto me anyway! But because they're expecting that this Hunt Critic will be all out to kutuk their hunt, they have now changed their team name to Kena Tembak.

The Tembak Series 1, as the title suggests, is the first of their hunt series. Actually, some years ago, they started the Trash Hunt series, but that had been discontinued somehow. Many new teams, including my own, have not experienced their hunt. So Tembak Series 1 is intended to be some sort of debut appearance as Clerk-of-Course by Kena Tembak. It is hoped that with this introduction, they will be able to demonstrate their clerking skills, and henceforth attract many more teams to support the Palliative Charity Hunt on 26 July, which will also be clerked by them.

I am very happy with this development in the local treasure hunting scene as that would mean we will be having at least 3 more hunts this year (the above 2 and my own KK Challenge 5). It is about time that we Sabahans try to do a bit of catching up with our peers in the west.

This afternoon, Alvin sent me the Entry Form, still fresh from the oven, for Tembak Series 1 via email, and I will be sending it out to hunters found within my address book shortly. However, if any of my Sabahan readers would like to try out this hunt please drop me an email, and I shall be pleased to forward the Entry Form to you.

At this stage, I have in my possession only some details of the hunt. Kena Tembak is still working on the rest. I shall keep you all informed as and when I receive further details from them:
