EXPLORACE 2 FINAL : KOREA SELATAN (Part 1) & MALAYSIA (Part 2)

Winner
Hanif & Narin


Assalamualaikum and salam sejahtera to all kekawan semua...

Explorace 2 dah final khamis 21 April lepas (sama dengan Maulidur Rasul)....

Secara ringkas..pemenang...(WOW, aku berjaya teka tepat ketiga-tiga pemenang, tahniah buat aku..)

Juara Explorace 2 = Team Super Subs = Hanif & Narin.
Tempat ke 2 = Team T3 = Dani & Amir.
Tempat ke 3 = Team Working Moms = Lynn & Vanessa.

Seperti biasa..kerana aku menulis ni dah lebih 5 hari, so, aku takkan recap secara details..(lupa sebenarnya..kekeke)

tapi, as usual, aku hanya tulis apa dalam ingatan aku peristiwa2 yang aku ingat....:D and also, cadangan dan juga komen..(pasal komen ni harap2 kekawan jgn marah yek...)

Korea
-----
1) Ketiga2 team lead ...and memang sejuk giler....

2) Best permandangan kat situ...

3) Soalan : Kenapa Explorace (Dapne) tidak jelaskan bahan-bahan buat makanan tradisional Korea tu? Maklumla, kan now isu Halal panas..so, baik terangkan ingredient..nanti orang Islam takkan rasa was-was makan nanti.

4) Amir Muntah....makan suton....suton tu bergerak-gerak...kekekekek..aku pun geli....;)

5) Stategi bijak Vanessa & Lynn....bila diorang cari ingredient makanan tradisional tu...dan jumpa..siap nyorok lagi dalam baju...taknak bagi Amir & Dani nampak.....

Amir & Dani jumpa gak akhirnya, nak guna taktik nyorok gak..tapi sia-sia..pasal diorang team last...

6) Perkataan *** (tot) seingat aku, hanya sekali dilafazkan oleh Lynn kat Pusat Memanah...

tahniah kepada Team T3 kerana dah kurang Tot...

Malaysia
----------
7) Seperti review lain....yang memisahkan ketiga team adalah di Pusat Snow Genting Highland...Tapi, itu pun Strategi....Kenapa?

a) Team Supersubs & Team T3 berjaya jumpa dulu dengan Ais Slide tu....padahal Supersub last sekali berlepas..

b) Team Working Mom lambat sangat sampai kat Ais Slide ...sampaikan Team T3 dah 3 X mencuba slide...baru diorang nak slide!!!

c) Team Supersub memang terer kerana kali pertama sahaja telah mencapai barang yang diperlukan...

8) The rest, biasa la..Team SuperSubs leading giler.....

9) Banyak komen yang Race Final ni takda fight sangat....sebenarnya, maybe pasal diorang start dari Genting...so, memang paling cepat selepas genting adalah Air Terjun kat Selayang tu....

Maybe race akan menjadi rancak, kalau start dari Jalan Masjid India....maybe diorang akan berceramuk ke tempat masing2..baru sesat, lambat, jem, etc.....

Final Explorace 1..yang sampai malam tu, pasal tu la...team masing2 gi tempat lain2....

10) Muntah..DOME....banyak giler muntah...terbayangkan orang/pelanggan yang makan kat situ....bagaimana diorang rasa??

"Sah aku taknak datang dah sini"...

Sepatutnya buat kat Dapur ke, atau tempat yang tak nampak dek orang lain/pelanggan.....kalau aku pun, orang muntah..aku pun rasa nak muntah gak.....!!!!

11) Sebut Pasal Muntah...Aku tak dapat bayangkan...Perasaan Orang/Peserta Lain/Alumni Explorace 1 yang tunggu kat Dataran Merdeka Garisan Penamat.....

kenapa? Iye la...diorang peluk-peluk kan....pastu, tgk kat TV hari khamis hari tu....kakakakakkakaka....

"alamak..diorang muntah la..kena baju tak?? Pastu kita gi peluk diorang gak tu!!! ....kakakakkakakaka....:))

12) dan juga.....peserta kena tangkap ayam.....so, ada yang terperosok jatuh pun ada...
soalan, ada taik ayam tak terlekat kat baju??...;).....

Kakkakakka....kesian kat Orang2 yang peluk diorang tu lagi...

Dah la muntah...kena tahi ayam lagi...:)).....kaakakakkakaak....

13) Sebut pasal peluk....ramai yang terkejut si Hanif tak peluk Narin....ramai yang ingat diorang Suami Isteri...padahal, si Hanif dah berkahwin, Narin hanya kawan...

(dalam MDC tulis, si Narin tu rajin panjat gunung, and si Hanif tu junior dia)

And Bagus si Hanif bagi Tiket dia kat Isteri dia..pasal takkan dia nak gi ngan Narin.....Bagus lagi, si Narin bagi tiket dia kat Hanif..so, Hanif boleh pergi bersama isterinya....

Ada kawan tanya soalan nie..

".tiket tu kan destinasi Ke mana-mana kan....so, kenapa tak Si Narin gi London contohnya, dan si Hanif gi Perancis contohnya....

then, duit RM 50000 (Hanif nyer) boleh beli tiket utk isteri Hanif...and Narin gak belanja la kawan dia gi London...

Settle masalah......rugi si Narin bagi tiket kat Hanif.....(kecuali syarat tiket kata, 2 tiket ke mana2 tu, kena destinasi sama)

14) And kenapa Replika Hadiah RM 100,000 dibagi di Dataran Merdeka, dan Replika Hadiah Tiket Percutian diberi di Sri Pentas???Tak siap lagi ke Replika masa kat Dataran Merdeka tu???

15) dan akhir....nasib baik race habis kul 6 petang je....dari Explorace 1 yang habis malam....

dan juga..nasib baik Explorace/TV3 tak buat PARTY kat BANGSAR cam EXPLORACE 1...iye la....Maulidur Rasul lagi tu...Malam Jumaat lagi tu....:)...Alhamdulillah...



Anyway...tahniah Kepada Team Supersubs dan tahniah gak kepada aku kerana meramal tepat....:)...

Ok..last..cadangan2 kepada Explorace & TV3...

1) Cadangan tadi.. terangkan ingredient makanan..

Kenapa Explorace (Dapne) tidak jelaskan bahan-bahan buat makanan tradisional Korea tu? Maklumla, kan now isu Halal panas..so, baik terangkan ingredient..nanti orang Islam takkan rasa was-was makan nanti.Kat Vietnam pun ada makanan gak...

2) Extra Unseen Race....

Kerana Explorace hanya 1 jam..and race sebenarnya sepanjang hari..maka, banyak scene yang dipotong...maka, sebagaimana
Survivor/Apprentice/Amazing Race...apa kata, masa Recap Round 2 and Round FInal...tunjuk Unseen Race Event....rather to tunjuk balik race yang telah ditunjuk......

3) Maafkan saya...saya ni jakun/katak bawah tempurung sket...maafkan saya kalau tersinggung..bukan intention saya..

Race makan masa sepanjang hari kan....soalan saya....peserta beragama Islam solat tak? Walaupun solat Jamak & Qasar..Kalau ada..harap tunjukkan dalam cadangan no 2...(Unseen Race)...

Bukan apa...nak hilangkan rasa tak sedap hati...and for me....satu cara dakwah gak..di mana..gi melancong/ race kat mana-mana di dunia
pun, solat tak tinggal....boleh solat walaupun sesibuk mana.....dapat pahala tu....

4) Website Explorace 2 dah ok....and Peserta pun dah masuk dalam MHI hari Khamis pagi sebelum Final.....Kira ok la tu.....

5) Pengakuan saya..sebenarnya...antara sebab saya marah dalam Race Australia , salah satunya pasal tak adil...andsatu lagi..pasal sebenarnya, saya nak tgk respon orang ramai tentang Explorace......

pasal kalau Akademi Fantasia contohnya..masa si Rosmah terkeluar..banyak orang marah..komen dalam paper/tv/websites....

Tapi Explorace?? Saya cuba gak emailkan pendapat saya kat TV3, beberapa akhbar...rasanya takda respon kat akhbar2 ....

Yang ada, dalam Blog, dalam MDC (selalu lepak sana), and dalam Forum Tv3.......
So, walaupun rating bagus...but impactnya..maybe kurang lagi.....harap2 season akan datang, impactnya lagi kuat....

Cuma masa nak final..banyak newspaper tulis pasal Explorace2..terutamanya The Star (aku baca star je..:D...)

6) Kalau ada Explorace All Stars 2 (Semua Peserta, bukan artis ye!!)...satu Team yang patut masuk....Team Godwin/Philip.....

<That's all for now....nanti aku modified balik and add kalau ada lagi komen...
bye...

Ps...tahniah kepada Tv3 kerana buat TARIK KING EDISI REALITI..memang MENARIK dan BEST....Akhir

RM THE CLOWN VS DOUBLE KING.....

Team DOUBLE KING memang dari awal dah tunjuk POWER diorang....

Added Comments on Final Explorace 2..

MMmm..just now, in MHI (Malaysia Hari Ini) TV3, they invited 3 people from each TEAM of EXPLORACE 2.. Hanif (Team SuperSub), Dani (Team T3) and Lynn (Team Working Moms)..

It is great to see them in MHI..coincident with my previous suggestion that they (the contestant) should be in MHI to promote EXPLORACE.....:)

But, just a comment...maybe a bad one for me..

In their faces/ body language..

Hanif = Macam Negative (-) je.....

Dani = Tengah2...(neutral)

Lynn = Excited! ..Positif....

From the looks..it SEEMS that TEAM WORKING MOMS will WIN this EXPLORACE2...

Please correct me if I'm wrong that THE FINAL IS ACTUALLY OVER/FINISHED...and actually we already have the RACE WINNER ....just, now, it is been secret until the final race in Malaysia...

So, just now, IT LOOKS LIKE TEAM WORKING MOMS WILL WIN EXPLORACE 2...!!!

Or it is just a RED HERRING from TV3???...;)

Anyway..I still predict that TEAM SUPERSUBS will win...if not, TEAM T3....let us see tonite the first leg...maybe I will change my mind afterwards..

chow..

FINALS OF EXPLORACE 2 : MY PREDICTION

Hi to all.

So, we reach the FINAL, and tommorow, will be the 1st Leg of Final of Explorace 2.

So, the FINAL RACE WILL BE JOINED BY

TEAM : WORKING MOMS

Vanessa & Lynn (Working Moms)


TEAM : TOT-TOT-TOT

Dani & Amir (Team Tot-tot-tot)


TEAM : THE SUPER-SUBS

Hanif & Narin


So, as promised in the last article, let me predict who will be the EXPLORACE 2 CHAMPION....
But, just to summarize first, I personally thinks this race, is equal (all the team got peluang to win) compared to last year

where only 2 teams who I knew fight to win and the teams were :

Champions of Explorace 1 (Fariz and Shahrina):

Fariz


shahrina


and

The Fun Team (Jeeves and Ravin)

Jeeves


Ravin



The last team??? kekekekke...out ..although in the race, they were no 2..(because The Fun Team made mistake)

Maria


Jerry


And lastly...I have to state here..IF THE GOOD/POSITIVE GUYS (PHILIP & GODWIN) DID SURVIVED THE SEMI FINAL, THEY WILL WIN THE EXPLORACE 2!
But, that will not happened, right?..:(


First, Examine the teams.


TEAM WORKING MOMS:

Vanessa & Lynn (Working Moms)

Positive:
---------
-Very determine and hardworking (esp. Lynn)
-Sometimes Manipulative/Smart ;)
-Hard Working (Stategy of Leading)

Negative
--------
-Seems Vanessa is negative sometimes..


TEAM TOT-TOT-TOT

Dani & Amir (Team Tot-tot-tot)


Positive:
---------
-Very determine and hardworking
-Hard Working (Stategy of Leading)
-Sometimes, suka cakap lepas...bagus untuk TV..
-All Mens...so, I should be supporting them..ahahha...

Negative
--------
-Seems sometimes, they lost in stategy.
-More tot-tot-tot


TEAM SUPER-SUBS

Hanif & Narin


Positive:
---------
-Very determine and hardworking
-Hard Working (Stategy of Following)
-Couples (So, more likeble like Fariz and Shahrina)

Negative
--------
-Strategy of Following...sometimes bad results.
-Not smart thinking?


So, In Summary..

-Team TOT-TOT-TOT will show the fun (lepas cakap je..) so, seronok tgk..cam Jeeves in Explorace 1 also...
-Team SuperSubs, as usual, will KEJAR TEAM YANG DIDEPAN...then MAYBE POTONG LAST SEKALI..
-Team Working Moms..LYNN WILL FIGHT VERY HARD ..but Vanessa will have difficulties..

So, everyone EQUALS.

But, i think the WINNER this YEAR is TEAM SUPERSUB...
if not, TEAM TOT-TOT-TOT...



That's my prediction..;)


Below are the extracts from explorace.tv3.com.my

"Korea
Explorace - The Extreme Journey returns

THE FINALS ARE ON! Three teams are in; a motley of teams comprising an all female team (Vanessa & Haslina), an all male team ( Amir & Dani) and a mixed

team (Narin & Hanif)! Congratulations once again to all three teams for enduring Round 1 and 2 and making it this far to the Finals!

The Finals will comprise of 2 legs- in which the first leg of the race will take place in the heart of Korea; at the Gyeonggi Province- the largest

local jurisdiction in South Korea! Hosting many historic sites and artifacts among its modern leisure facilities, it makes a splendid tourist

destination.

I do hope teams are ready to battle it out under freezing temperature cause its mighty cold out in Korea at this time of the year! Although it's the

beginning of spring, there were sprinkles of snow whilst we were on shoot there.

The race will begin at the Hwaseong Fortress at Suwon City. This impressive 5.7km long fortress wall, used to have a variety of military facilities

that cannot be found in ANY other fortress! Although many of its facilities were destroyed during the Korean war, restoration has turned it into the

designated UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. I will pass all teams a set of clues, map and race money. Teams will then proceed to try out their shooting

skills at the Gyeonggi Shooting Range at HwaSeong City. They will need to shoot a minimum of 5 clay targets with only 25 bullets to spare! And it is

not easy. I only managed one clay with 6 bullets! And it left a horrible bruise on my shoulder! But then again, after all that racing around in round 1

and 2, perhaps letting out a bit of steam at the shooting range would be good for the teams? Hmm…

Next up is Jebu do Island (do means province). Interestingly, what seems to be like a miracle, the path to this island runs across the sea. But make

sure you return before the tide comes in or you will be stranded on the island as the sea water covers the road that led you there. This island is

LOVED by local sea-bathers. Not exactly my Carribean Island (It was the coldest task point that I had to endure!). Teams will need to dig the mud &

scrape the rocks for oysters- and this is tough cos' when we tried it, we could only manage to get small ones. (They need to pass the task marshals

large -sized oysters).

If Peter Pan (and Michael Jackson) has Neverland, South Korea proudly presents you EVERLAND! This theme park includes a Safari World, thrill rides, a

four season garden and a lot of fanfare! This park is the next task point where teams will need to search for the next clue from a unique vantage

point… and this place is HUGE, and the rides so stomach churning …so it might take awhile before teams find what they are looking for.

After screaming it out there, teams will need to proceed to the Korean Folk Village. This expansive replica village of life in traditional Korea,

offers year round programs of performances and cultural activities. There is also a market place where you can buy Korean souvenirs as well as taste

some local delicacies. Korean dramas are normally shot here because of its authentic Korean traditional houses found there. Teams will have a hand of

making Kimchi, which is the number one, famous dish of the Koreans!( I loved it!) Apparently, many foreigners find themselves missing it after

returning to their hometown…well in the case of our contestants, we shall see…what their tastebuds have to endure.

Taking the subway to the Market is next. Subways in South Korea are the main source of transportation and they are extremely efficient. Teams will

explore the subways of South Korea to get to the next destination-the Garak-dong market! It is the largest agricultural product and fisheries wholesale

market, but when measured in terms of transaction volume, it is possibly, the largest in the world! Find out what San Nak Chi (pronounced that way) is,

to figure out the task of teams here. Ooo its still wriggling!

Finally, teams will need to collect their Malaysia Airlines return ticket at the Malaysia Airlines office in Seoul. The Golden key and the tickets are

the items they must present to me at the finish line of South Korea's race. Again, this is the FIRST LEG of the FINALS. Whoever reaches the finish line

first, will be flagged off first- at the second part of the leg in Explorace ..The Finale.

This is the beginning of the end. Who will get a head start for the second part of the Finals? We shall see on this week's episode of Explorace! "

Bye..

"The Intense Yet Fun Race A.K.A
Pembalasan Tuhan kepada Orang Yang Takbur"


Philip Poh & Godwin Poh

VS


Amir Shahid & Dani Lim Su Heng


Pertama sekali....aku nak nyatakan...Aku berputih mata dengan race ini...!!!!
Team Favourite Aku, si Philip and Godwin....dah HAMPIR MENANG, tapi telah MEMBERIKAN KEMENANGAN kepada Team Amir & Dani....

Kecewa betul....ketiga-tiga TEAM FAVOURITE aku dah KALAH....kena cari TEAM FAVOURITE baru nampaknya UTK Final RACE nanti......

Ok, kembali Ke Race..

Race kali ini, di Bali Indonesia....pertandingan yang menarik dari AWAL hingga AKHIR...dengan PENYUDAH AKHIR diakhiri dengan PENUH INTENSE....

Amir & Godwin, Philip & Dani memberikan sepenuh tenaga dan sikap yang best utk race kali ini...Mereka ternyata setaraf dengan TEAM EXPLORACE PERTAMA 2 LELAKI,Jeeves and Navin..

Tahniah buat semua...Amir&Dani, Philip&Godwin...

Recap secara pendek ..

1) Jumlah Perkataan 'Tot' dalam Race ini adalah 5 kali + 1....

Team Amir&Dani = 4 kali...ditambah si Dani sebut 'Goblok' = Bodoh yang tidak disensor..

Team Godwin&Philip = 1 kali..bila si Godwin tension abang dia gi melencong kat pantai tu...

Tahniah..dah berkurang 'tot' dari Amir & Dani..

2) Philip & Godwin Buat Robot di Awal Game...
Diorang buat lawak lak pada awal game....siap PELUK SI DAPNE lagi tu!!!!!...

3)Si Godwin Buat LAWAK..BELAJAR BAHASA TAMIL...
Si Godwin kata...dia ingat, diorang akan race kat INDIA.....
so, dia belajar la beberapa perkataan TAMIL untuk digunakan semasa race..
Tapi kena kat BALI lak....so, dia sebut la, beberapa perkataan Tamil yang tak dapat dia gunakan tapi dah belajar..eg..
"Vanakam".....kekekekek....lawak gak....but, bijak gak..ada usaha.....

4)Lawak Amir & Godwin Pasal Robot..
Si Amir kata...Payah lawan ngan ROBOT nie..diorang tak pernah PENAT....

Pastu, si Godwin kata, Dia nak tunjuk..ROBOT pun ada sifat MANUSIA...so, dia nak tunjuk dengan MENGORAT CEWEK-CEWEK kat seat belakang VAN!!!...akkakakakakak...

5)Philip...semasa race ngan Dani..siap MAIN BOLA lagi ngan bebudak kat SITU.(Kebun aka Taman Botani) !!!!

6)Si Dani, semasa taman botanie tu...masa nak serah BUNGA...
Orang tu bercakap kat HP lak!!! :))......kakakakka....tu yang si DANI kata GOBLOK tu..!!....:)) and siap balik Kad Explorace lagi tu.....

7)Si Philip semasa naik basikal ke sawah..siap sapa orang ramai..kata Hai kat mereka..

8) And siap berhenti tepi jalan..MINTA/BELi sebijik TELUR AYAM!!...
Dia lapar..so, MAKAN MENTAH2...

9) And si Philip, bila dah sampai, SIAP ANGKAT BASIKAL..pasal nak hormat kepada ibu-ibu bekerja di sini..

9)Si Godwin..semasa nak cari GAMBAR awek dalam POTRAIT....gi jumpa awek-awek situ...siap tanya..
"Ibu ini gadis dalam Potret ya?"
Awek tu kata tak...pastu si Godwin..
"Oh..maaf..tapi ibu cantik la.."

:))...kakakkaakkaakka....

10) Si Godwin lagi....dia kata kat sorang lagi CEWEK kat situ....
Tak sanggup kata IBU kat cewek tu..pasal muda lagi and cantik lak tu....:D

11)Philip semasa nak cari Kotak kat SAWAH..kata ada lembu kat salah satu dangau..
dia kata, LEMBU tu PASTI TV3 Bela...so, patutnya KOTAK tu kat situ...BETUL SIOT!!....terrer...

12)Si Amir..masa cari Kotak kat Muzium dengan si Godwin....buat Langkah Bijak....bila jumpa kotak..senyap2..terus naik teksi!!...Bijak..

13)Tapi bila dah lead...tetiba, teksi Si Godwin sampai dulu!!!..
Terkejut si Amir bila si Dani kata sampai dulu!!!

:))...kakakakkaakkaka..lawak..lawak!!!

14) Akhir race...semasa Lari kat Pantai....Philip dah lead....pastu si Godwin lead....tetapi PHILIP dah PENING!!!..Dah LARI TUMPUAN...MENYEBABKAN Si AMIR & DANI MENANG!!!....

Betapa kecewa nya aku masa tu......


15) Anyway....bagi aku race kali ini memang best....and walaupun kecewa pasal TEAM FAVOURITE aku kalah....tapi, telah DIKONKLUSIKAN oleh si PHILIPs...(lebih kurang cam ni ayat dia, dari pemahaman aku)..

"Saya rasa saya tak berdisplin semasa RACE...saya TAKBUR...boleh menang...

Maka, Tuhan, membalas dengan MENDISPLINKAN saya....menyedarkan saya..yang saya terlalu TAKBUR....."

Itu yang aku ambil tajuk RACE kali ini...

"Pembalasan Tuhan kepada Orang Yang Takbur"


Soalan & Pemerhatian..

1) Race kali ini banyak MIND and jumpa orang....berbanding dengan race sebelum ini yang memerlukan banyak TENAGA...mungkin sebagai reward Explorace kepada Godwin&Philip kerana race pertama mereka sungguh berbudi bahasa...

2)Race kali ini, kerana adanya mereka ini...menjadi RACE paling berbudi bahasa selepas RACE di Perlis....dan menyeronokan...

Soalan 64 Ribu...

Dalam Apprentice 2, si Raj berjaya mengorat Penyambut Tetamu Donald Trump...

Dalam Survivor 9: Vanatau , si Julie berjaya mengorat Jeft Probs...

Adakah dalam Explorace 2, si PHILIP akan berjaya mengorat si DAPNE IKING?
Mereka sama padan, and berasal sama-sama dari SARAWAK...

Adakah Pelukan semasa MULA dan AKHIR race adalah TAKTIK si Philip( dibantu oleh Godwin) untuk Mengorat si DAPNE??

Jeng Jeng Jeng...sama-sama kita nantikan....

Nanti aku ulas pasal 3 Team yang masuk final, and team mana yang bakal jadi favourite aku menang EXPLORACE 2.....

Bye..
