  13. Now you are making me very curious. You don't join, but you keep going to see the progress, and now you get invited to the winners house. What is your involvement with the Subaru Challenge? Are you part of the organizing team or something?

    1. Nope, i am not part of the organizing team, me just an ordinary k-po person, who goes there to see the progress...

      It so happen last year, i was there to see the progress, the 2011 winner is there, he's standing beside me, i chit chat with him and got to know him and he introduce me to the 2014 winner...

      I was invited quite last minute also, the 2014 winner invite me on the day morning, so happen i was free that evening, so i went...

      But of course, i do not go empty handed, last minute, can't think of any gift to get the couple, can only go supermarket buy some items over for the couple...
