yups
me and my team, eugene lim, joel and stanley, we just won 4 return tickets to HK!
the feeling is just so surreal..
ok.. lets recap the race..
starting location: smu sch of information systems basement
flagged off at 4 pm
received first clue: a pic of an 'information' sign plus the letters 's' 'v' 'c'
ran to the Singapore Visitors Center, near the hereen dere.. jay walked when we realised the traffic lights didn't like us.. and to get away from the other teams...
reached there first..
task was to get a map of singpore from inside,
received nxt clue, a picture of the cathay, but mus detour, to kileney road the post office and take photo. jay walk somemore.. it was super flagrant jay walking.. got traffic police confirm die one times jialat jialat..
reached cathay, dunno why we dropped 2nd place.. but nvm, got the next clue, its a picture of a shop with a laughing buddha..
so we ran to waterloo street,
only to find dat it was the wrong place.. looking closely at the clue.. 'ew7' on the mrt line, that's little india..
so run to little india to find that shop.. find find find, ask pple, ask 7-11, all dunnoe the place, like wtf man... finally asked this bengish looking indian guy and he pointed us to the right direction..
reached the shop 2nd place again.. nvm..
do this paper jigsaw puzzle of a picture of an indian man.. (quite budget uh they use paper to cut out the puzzle)
den recieved nxt clue: sim lim tower
so run run run.. reached dere first.. took shortcut, this back alley.. haha.. den received next clue: picture of guan ying temple! so run back to waterloo street!
den realised we lost our race card..
yah.. thats the very important thing that every checkpoint the stationmaster chops a chops on it to show dat u have been to the checkpoint..
and we lost it..
wah.. jialat man!!
we were in first place somemore..
so stanley ran back to sim lim towers to find,
came back with a negative answer.. cannot find..
den the stationmaster say.. penalty of 15 mins..
so we waited..
and saw team after team arrive and started working on the puzzle.. which we were supposed to have but didn't have cos of the time penalty..
damn gan chiong lah!
so we walk around and found julianna from our biz law group!! so we 'kindly' offered to help her with her puzzle.
it was a cipher type of puzzle which resulted in an acronym for a place.. NSSH.. which on the map of singapore obtained earlier.. equals to new 7 story hotel..
we still had to wait out 15 mins tho..
when times up! we chiong ah!
at that time alr a group of girls left the place liao,
and another grp jus b4 us.. so we dropped to third place..
so we ran to new 7 story hotel..
for those who dunno, thats near the big field on the opp side of bugis junction from waterloo street..
and guess wad..
i dunno if the team in second place were dumb or wad.. to get to bugis junction from waterloo street.. they decided to run into bugis street.. or bugis village.. or whereever that super crowded place with youngsters shopping and everything is, at 4 plus to 5 pm on a fri evening where the crowds are there.. well.. i think its usually crowded anyway.. haha.. so fantastic luck on our side.. thanks to all the shoppers.. we took the slightly longer but less crowded way and ended up overtaking them..
reached new 7 story hotel checkpoint in 2nd place.. jus behind a team of touch rug girls..
task was to say 3 positive descriptive words each starting with 's' 't' 'a' (i think thats the sponsor of the tickets) in 10 secs
so stamina, time management and attitude and we had the nxt clue..
national library..
so ran and caught up with the touch rug girls at the traffic lights.. decided to jay walk got to the library.. actually both our teams reached there abt the same time.. got the nxt clue and nearly died!
cos it was the fire station at funan mall dere.. damn far away lah!!
ok.. so run run run..
overtook the touch rug girls by pure running power alone..
ran from the library back to sch admin block...
waited for traffic light.. took the time to puke out my hor fun.. which was causing me to stitch all the way thru out the race.. puked, drink water to clear the taste and the green man came on!!
so go go go!!
ran passed biz block.. ran somemore.. run and run.. and reached fire station in first place..
got the nxt clue 'tomb on a hill'
wah kao! fort canning!!
so we climb the hill.. go one big round looking for the tomb..
run walk climb cramp and finally found the tomb thanks to this nice man sitting on a bench who pointed us the right way..
got a qn paper with qns on it(duh!) and went to find the answers..
it was like triva qns where the answers can all be found on those 'information for tourists' kinda boards all around the area.. so stanley went to look around for the answers and we gave the qn paper with the answers back to the stationmaster jus when the team just behind us arrived at the place..
wah.. damn gan chiong! so close onli the distance..
den we realised.. the clue the stationmaster give back to us 'home sweet home'
wahahahahaha
chiong down the hill.. jay walk across the street behind the accountancy block..
run thru the tulips or wadever those flowers are and arrived totally shagged out at the finish line(which was the same as the start line) at 5:25pm.. in first place!!
and dats how we won the amazing racE!! and get free tickets to HK!! haha.. shiok!!! but leg damn pain lar.. nv stretch enough.. =)
