The Mines “Supermom” Mother’s Day Contest

For the recent Mother’s Day, The Mines shopping mall is organizing the inaugural iconic event “Supermom” Mother’s Day Contest with the objectives of providing a fun and interactive session for moms and kids to know the importance of housework sharing amongst the kids.

There are 11 pairs moms and children are participating the contest, challenging the skills and speed of completing the assigned daily housework tasks such as cooking, crafting, sport, shopping, and health and beauty knowledge. I am one of the participants for the contest with my son. The best mom will be crowned the “Supermom” and walk away with attractive prizes.

The contest was divided into 6 main sections. The first section is Meal Preparation at Oliver Gourmet (Level 3, East Court) where all of us are required to prepare simple meal using the ingredients provided by Oliver Gourmet. The results is judged based on the criteria of teamwork, time and food presentation. I am happy with the sandwich that i prepared together with my son in a limited time and ingredients. We love it so much.

Second section is the bonus stage at Natural Health Farm (Level 3, East Court) whereby the we need to answer 10 simple health and product related questions including searching for certain products in the Natural Health Farm store. The fastest team who answered correctly for each question will be rewarded with bonus points. I managed to answer 2 questions in this section.

The third station, Crafting section is held at Mr. DIY store (Level 4, North Court) where we need to create a string-art masterpiece. The kid need to sketch a Mother’s Day related artwork on a piece of paper under guidance and suggestion provided by the mom and thereafter the completed artwork will be transformed by the mom onto the given wooden board using strings & nails. The results will be judged based on the criteria of time, neatness, creativity and teamwork.

Next, we move to the Sport Challenge section, at Fun Factory (Level 4, North Court). I and my son are required to complete the roller skating track in the fastest time. This is the first time we play roller skating. The professional instructor from Fun Factory teach us the basic roller skating skills prior to the contest. The results will be judged based on time and teamwork. We are not manage to get the fastest to complete the track but we enjoy the experience of first time playing roller skating.

The final station is the Shopping Hunt at Giant Hypermarket whereby al the contestants will be given a list of grocery items that we need to search and collect all these items into the trolley in Giant Hypermarket within the given time. The results will be judged based on number of collected items and teamwork. I think i am able to get 5 items out of the 10 items within 5 minutes, really need to run fast to seach the items.

After completed all the sections, the marks accumulated from all the contest sections will be summed up for winners’ identification. The champion of the contest will win RM500 worth of cash prize and hampers, products and cash vouchers worth over RM1,800.00 sponsored by participating tenants, while 1st runner up and 2nd Runner Up will win cash prizes worth RM300 and RM200 respectively and hampers, products and cash vouchers worth over RM900.00 and RM600.00 respectively.

Congrats all the winners. I only manage to get consolations prize where it really need a lot of hardwork to become a "Supermun". I enjoy completing all the mission together with my son, that is the most precious bonding time for me and my son. Thanks The Mines for organizing such an amazing contest.
