amazing amazing race
finally a break from the bz week. din go sch for anything. greattt. nua at home. overall, the amazing race was fun with the company. :)) though we got in 7th. not 1st 2nd or 3rd, it doesnt matter at all!! it's the process! =D so glad to have joined it along with weian benny and limei. :))
saturday! assembled at 8am. was kinda late. after all the admin stuffs, we set off to our first stop which is at Yishun SAFRA. we reached there early. took bus then hitched a ride from somewhere. ride by a policeman!! how cool is that?! haha. so helpfuL! but when we reached yishun safra, we took a super long time to reach the place where we were supposed to be. -.- the rifle range. damn fun!!!! each supposed to gain at least 30 pts with just 5 shots! cooLLL!! my team got it all at one go! damn fun! i got 38 pts! *grin.
proceeded to nxt stop which is.. lim chu kang - Jurong Frog Farm. whaos. freakinggg deep inside! took mrt to choa chu kang then hitched a ride from there. an auntie is damn cool to drive us all the way to lim chu kang and waited for us to get our task done! supposed to transport 2 frogs to the pail. the last person-weian supposed to kiss the frog and take a photo! woho. there goes ur kiss mr chen. aft limchukang, supposed to head to pasir ris escape entrance. the auntie ferried us to choa chu kang area. near the highway and we wanted to continue hitching. but luck wasn't really on our side. many ppl stopped. but they are going different direction. there was this auntie we stopped and was super enthu to help us. (we drew a HELP sign to get attention. =X) then she kept asking,"how can i help u all?" she even offered money for us to take cab! *stunned!!! the most jialiat part is. we took 2 hrs to get to escape when we can only take an hr or so. blame it on wrong decisions. =S
demoralised. we were the last second team to get to pasir ris. should it be lucky or unlucky. we got to the station and just need to do the wet weather program that is to set up the crab trap. and that's all! and we proceeded. cool ehs. but. when we were heading out. it started raining HEAVILY!!! super heavy!!! drenched. we took refuge nearby. and lucky enuff!! me and cai went to buy ponchos the day b4!!! phew~ aft some time, then we headed out with the ponchos. we look damn cool with the ponchos. sadly, din get to take photos of us in ponchos. hahaha. two red riding hoods and two blue riding hoods. super funny. lucky us bahs.
we went off to Big Splash from there. cool. by car. wahaha. and we forfeited that round cause we calculated, it wld be a waste of time. so! PHEWwwwwwwww we skipped that task! wahaha. then we went to Paya Lebar MRT station. supposed to get Smelly Toufu at Geylang. how cool. LOL. this is the first time i smell it!! stinks! haha. managed to get ppl to help us to eat the toufus. and we were quite lucky for that part i guess. :))
from there, we went to Esplanade Boat Ride. had to ans questions on the boat ride. quite fun and relaxing to sit in the boat. and ppl were damn good to help us here and there. realised that my touchlight was damn cool. can flash until damn far. HAHA. =x done with the ride. went to Orchard MRT station. had to recognise perfumes of three ppl then head back to Orchard MRT station. our hands were tied to each other. forming a horizonal line. damn fun! as if we were filming some MTV when we ran in a straight line. haha. saw jiehong and edmond! ha. we got it right. and the nxt clue was damn weird. :S anyhow answered.
proceed to Chinatown Outside CK Store. thanx to Dino. helped us to get to CK Store. cool. then we had to find a food called. Kaesekrelner it's acutally Pork Sausage with Cheese. damn nice. we only found it aft quite some time. and had to compete with shuan's team see which grp shouts the word louder. we got it. haha. enjoyed the sausage! ha ha. nxt. supposed to head back to sch. we rushed our way through not knowing that Chinatown is actually our last station. haha. Bought Mac takeaway b4 we went back to sch. took timeout sitting together and enjoying macdonalds. so cool. went to wash up and the guys waited for us to come out until they fell aslp outside at the snack bar area. hoho.
we got on into the finals. just a summary alright. these are the stops.. (1) Clifford Pier (2) Suntec Convention Centre (3) Farrer Park (4) Harbourfront Interchange (5) Sentosa Entrance - Southern smth smth. near Palawan Beach.
the Suntec Convention was a detour and a maze. got to the wrong Harvey Norman. but we managed to get to the place asap. nice. the nxt clue was abt the $2 Note. wat is written in the line above the. Singapura Xin Jia Po....... we called everyone to help us check. super funny. i called my younger sis. and my whole family was awoken by that call. got them all super agitated. super funny. and we got the ans. :) THANKS!
Farrer Park had to climb this rock wall. took timeout to have some lunch at the kopitiam. Limei and Weian climbed. damn cool. they were super shagged aft that. i belayed. haha. =D the nxt clue was this CD which we have to find a way to play it. it's in .amr format. how to on!? only with laptop and nokia prog. -.- gave it a miss only aft super long time. =S
Harbourfront!! supposed to see whether we were lucky. but dun really seem super lucky. had to look for items ard the area. the toughest one was a Metalic Fossil Watch and a Yellow Sock. the most funny one wld be the Jingle Bell Ringtone. we sang the song out! :)
