It’s 2:51 p.m. as I start writing this – exactly 3 hours & 9 minutes to the Maxis Om Nom Nom contest deadline!
I’ve never joined a Nuffnang competition before… but this one really caught my eye. Adam is extremely keen, so I figured, why not? Being the natural procrastinators we are, we’ve left it till the very last day, and in true couple fashion, he’s banging out his entry post as I type this.
Now the race sounds awesome. ‘Nuff (no pun intended) said.
What’s the race all about?
Ta-daa!
60 bloggers. 11 hours. 5 locations. Lots of food. (!!!)
In this day of technology, it’s only right that the yellowed, crinkled treasure maps are put away and instead in their place for this treasure hunt… a shiny iPhone 4, the trusty Maxis Finder301 app (found at http://itunes.apple.com/my/app/maxis-finder301/id375530216?mt=8# ) and Wireless Broadband (http://www.maxis.com.my/personal/broadband/wireless_allplans.asp if you'd like to get yourself one of those handy dongles) will be provided to get us to the ultimate treasure. All the devices are courtesy from the folks at Maxis. How times have changed!

| I daresay Adam and I will be making use of this app a lot :p |
Along the way, the contestants will be tested with riddles that can be solved with the help of the iPhone 4 GPS & the Finder301 app. You’ll be expected to make your way to a location, at which you’ll be given food --- now here comes the tricky bit, upon trying the food, you’ll be expected to produce a complete food review on your blog before you get your next set of clues.

Only the toughest bloggers will prevail! *nods empathetically*
Why I’d love to join
Being the complete food junkie I am, and the withdrawal I felt when The Amazing Race 17 drew to an end awhile back, this race sounds like a perfect one for me. (Granted, I’ve never actually ran an Amazing Race before, only having hurled yelled remarks at my TV screen and lament at some contestants’ stupidity and jumped up and down in my living room when my favourite team was on the brink of elimination, so it’s probably time for me to walk the talk. Or in this case, run the talk. But, I digress.)

Why we would make a good team
Adam brings the Om and I bring the Nom Nom to the team! He takes big bites, makes quick siapa-cepat-dia-dapat decisions, zooms through traffic while I nom nom nom my way through my food, take my time to think and ponder a little more. We’d be an interesting dynamic… so, pick us? Hee.
Here’s Adam’s blog link on why he should join – http://inadamsgarden.blogspot.com/2011/01/one-step-closer-to-maxis-om-nom-nom.html

| Ready, Set, Go! |
Looking forward to om nom nom-ing our way through together!
p/s: I hate couple t-shirts so this race might be the only time I will willingly be in a matching t-shirt with Adam. (I hear him rejoicing already -_-") Size L, please.
