Weeeeeeee...the BlogMobbers screamed passed us as the flew down the flying fox. Thankfully we had the hindsight to serve them lunch after. If not, can you imagine the possible wreckage that might spew forth from an upset tummy. Gross stuff aside, most of them said they had fun which was the name of the game anyway. 

They also had a tangram challenge and we found some of baffling expressions as they struggle to finish in the alloted time.

A tricky task was given to them and some of them got it wrong. 

If you have read carefully, we're sure you should get it right.

Soon after flag-off, you need to follow some instruction and complete a few tasks at Astaka Sports Center PJ. They must use the onboard GPS to reach Astaka. Let's just say some made it and some were taken for a longer ride than expected . Nonetheless when they reach, they have to complete a sphere activity, whereby one of them is blindfolded and he needed to go back and forth to fill up the ball. The other team mate will shout out instructions while another looks on.

As you can imagine, the results were darn hilarious and then the hot sun added to their misery. When the time's out they were given an SMS challenge, which was pretty simple.

After that, using GPS they need to locate a Samsung Omnia billboard somewhere along Jalan Sultan Ismail. With the 8 megapixel camera they take a team [ic with billboard. Here are a few of the pics.

Participants are required to be at the Samsung Service Center in PJ by 9am. Yes, it's waaay too early for a Saturday morning. Some of us were hanging around waiting for others to show up while some barely made it in time.

But no worries as soon as everyone was here, participants were split into 2 groups. One group were ushered upstairs for a briefing while the other were playing Asphalt 4. The game is played to determine grid positions.

Of course Andrew gave a short and sweet speech before he flagged the guys off. 

The drivers were also given stickers and as you can see, some of them spent quite a bit of time ensuring the stickers look good on their machines.

Here are the cars lining up to go with Andrew in action. 

Bloggers won't leave their cameras behind :)

 More tomorrow....

p/s: If you haven't seen Bernard before, here's how he looks like, complete with wind in the hair and a GoMobile shirt. Hmmm seems like he haven't had his coffee . By the way if you guys are interested in GoMobile, you can get your Clique cards from us and you might walk away with truckloads of frebies. Mark those dates on your calendar k? Pssst...its Nov 21-23 @ PWTC.

We are still recovering from the crazy INNOV8 Run held on last Sat. We all had plenty of fun and laughs plus some happy campers walked away with the phone. Since this is a day long event we will be updating daily in short parts plus pics.

Here's our not-so-fresh face since it's very very early on a weekend. Can you spot who is who?

Be on the lookout to the next update folks! 

Yes! Tomorrow's D-Day and I'm sure you guys are as excited as we are. Here are some advice going into tomorrow's Innov8 Run:

Clothes

Wear comfortable loose fitting clothes

The day may be hot, so bring Dark glasses and a cap or hat.

Footwear

Wear comfortable shoes, sneakers, or track shoes preferable – be prepared to do a lot of walking.

Drinks

Prepare some easy to eat snacks eg sandwiches. Lunch will be provided though.

Bring some 100 PLUS drinks to replace salts.

All righto! Have a good rest (you'll need it) and see you all tomorrow.............

Are you guys ready and fit? If you're not, try to get into shape starting today as you will definitely need it.

We know this is not very helpful but we can't be giving everything away right? For those who drive a lot you might be able to make an educated guess where this is.

When you get to this place, you can take a break!

I think most of the shortlisted participants have received this in the email inbox. Here are directions to the starting point:

Like we promised, here are today's set of hints. Good luck trying to make head or tail out of it.

You must keep your eyes peeled for this one. one blink and you'll miss it

Perhaps this is where we are gonna pamper your tired feet?

It's not the main picture that matters but more importantly what lies beside it

Stay on the lookout for more clues as Saturday draws near!

Hi guys, we are getting nearer to the Samsung INNOV8 Run. To help you guys out, we will be posting some hints in this couple of days. Of course the pictures are taken with the mega phone but resized and cropped to make loading easier.

Starting point (no secrets here!)

You should also look out for this:

This thing you see is important

Tune in tomorrow for more clues people!

Looks like the Samsung INNOV8 Run has got four bloggers conspiring with each other on how to come up with blog posts that will ensure them a place. Well, we found these guys having a long conference on MSN on how to go about it. true to the nature of bloggers, they even discussed how to camwhore for the pictures.

Meet smashpOp, Rames, AprilCherrie and Jennihsurf! Click on their respective links to find out who they are and how they actually meet. *hint: Samsung related*

The deadline is over! we have the Samsung INNOV8s up for grabs so we kind of expected some crazy blog posts. There are a whole lot gadget love going on in the Malaysian blogosphere and here’s a good example. Surely the world’s first 8 megapixel camera phone deserves it.

Since the run is done in the comforts of your car, there’s this guy who pimped his ride in his bid to win a coveted spot in the Samsung INNOV8 Run. Although his Grease Lightning is about 25 years old, it might just outrun the competition.

We are still sifting through your applications so stay tuned for more updates in this couple of days. You might be next to be featured, who knows?
