“SUPERMOM” Mother’s Day Competition @ The Mines

So what or how did you spend Mother's Day this year?? Well, I spent mine with my mini me at The Mines shopping mall (The Mines) which organized the inaugural iconic event “SUPERMOM” Mother’s Day Competition on 19 May 2018...

The objective was of course, to provide a fun and interactive session for the moms and their children whilst instilling the importance of team work and being able to cooperate/work together and assist with your mom/kids amongst the younger generation...

A total of 10 pairs moms and children participated in the competition... The competition was of course pretty challenging... 

It was all about skills and speed of completing the assigned daily housework tasks such as cooking, crafting, sport, shopping, and health and beauty knowledge...

The contest was jointly organized by the mall and its retail partners; Oliver Gourmet, Beauty Secret, Fun Factory, Giant, Mr. DIY, Natural Health Farm and Starbucks....

 We were all required to take part in 6 main activities – Meal Preparation skills, Crafting skills, Sport Challenge, Shopping Hunt, and Health & Beauty related knowledge which were held at different retail partner’s shop.

The contest started with the Meal Preparation at Oliver Gourmet (Level 3, East Court) where the contestants are required to prepare simple meal using the ingredients provided by Oliver Gourmet. The results were then judged based on the criteria of teamwork, time and food presentation. 

For this challenge, yours truly only prepared an egg and cheese omelette sandwich with some colourful fruits at the side, since if we are on the go it is just important to feed the kids with something simple yet nutritious...

Second activity was  a questions and answer challenge at Natural Health Farm (Level 3, East Court) where we were required to answer the questions the best we could all about simple health and product.. The fastest team who answered correctly for each question were then rewarded with bonus points...

I only managed to answer two questions...

The third activity, was held at Mr. DIY store (Level 4, North Court) where we had to work with the kid to create a string-art masterpiece... We were given a wooden board and some strings & nails to come up with an art work... The results were judged on the criteria of time, neatness, creativity and teamwork...

This was pretty challenging as my string kept unravelling and getting into trouble...

The next station was the Sport Challenge, at Fun Factory The moms are required to help their kids to complete the roller skating track in their fastest time....  

This was probably the funniest and most terrifying challenge since most of us and kids included did not know to skate...

Yes, we had some basic roller skating skills taught to us by the professional instructors but most of us were just plain terrified.. so I failed this of course...

The final stop was the Shopping Hunt at Giant Hypermarket where we were given a list of grocery items that we had to search and collect... these items were located all over Giant Hypermarket ans we had to look for them in just 5 minutes... this was pretty much an adrenaline rush and super tiring and we did not mange to look for everything.. only about half...

So how did we fare in this competition... well...Ayu Fafikah emerged as the champion of the contest winning RM500 worth of cash prize and hampers, products and cash vouchers worth over RM1,800.00 sponsored by participating tenants, while the 1st runner up prize came to me.. and 2nd Runner Up to Kylie who wocash prizes worth RM300 and RM200 respectively and hampers, products and cash vouchers worth over RM900.00 and RM600.00 respectively.
