10 Days, 10K! And 7 more chances left to try to get at least 1K.
Have all the jewelery from 15th to 18th being found yet? If not, still have 10 more chances!
Good Luck, Kuching Hunters, like the Loo brothers of Kiwanis fame!
Their teams must be prowling all over the monsoon drains, garbage bins and fields of the city by now! Reminds me of the cartoon - The Alley Cats!
I think the last one is just to go to the sponsor's centre and there will be thousands of blue boxes in a giant bag or transparent container, where individuals can try their luck in picking out the correct one!
