Really Amazing race

here is the reenact of the really amazing race.

this event was organised by macpherson c.c youth executive committee club.... it was a really nice event which we shld take part nxt time round again.... sponsored by great eastern insurance....

the day for mi started at 8.30am... i woke up and took a shower... changed and waited for D to call mi as he will b picking mi up....

at 10am, i met him at commonwealth mrt where he has alreadi picked up doris and song.... dan we made our way to potong pasir mrt to pickup ade... we reached there in like 10.15am and ade is nowhere to been seen...
D gave her a call and she said she jus reached. there were many exits so she was asking which is the correct 1... after waiting for 15 to 20mins, her shadows still cant b seen.... so we were joking to ourselves... how to win the amazing race like this? hahahahaha

we managed to pickup ade and made our way to macpherson c.c... guess we were the 1st few teams to report there... we were dan shown to a room on the 2nd level where the briefings are held.... we sat down n browse thru the itinery and saw that the event will start onli at 13:20pm. It was acutalli their biennial meeting... so there are G.O.H and some meetings to tie the knots.......

waited for so long, we decided to go for our breakfast 1st.... we went to the opposite market for some breakfast... when we returned at 11:40am, the meeting haf not even started...

we found ourselves a corner to sit.... and shortly after, the guests arrived and commencement of the opening speeches, meetings... blah blah blah.....
during the meeting, they announced that there were 17 post vacant for the youth committee and there were 17 applicants... they were proud to announce 17 of them were selected.... hahahahaha wat the.... 17 vacanies with 17 applicants... D, song n mi were laughing non-stop.... oooops dun mean to offend anybody but we jus cant help it.....

dan being the group leader, i collected the clues to the amazing race..... song was realli excited to the game... he took out all the clues and read thru them.... such an amazing race tat song in the beginning alreadi snook mi n D... there was a map of aljunied and below it was a sentence ... song thought dat it was a clue and asked mi n D to look at it.... we were both looked at the sentence puzzled n trying to figure out wat it was saying.. when song said no..no... its jus explaining that the road was named after a wealthy malay al-ju-nied... wat a start... being snook by own team mate.....

while D n i was planning on the clues and path so that we haf a smooth journey, song said tat we can take bus 63 to geylang central where the 1st clue is... so i said good n asked if he noes which direction to go to... guess wat... song: "eh..dunno leh"... hahahahaha tat was jus so funnie... all of us were laughing like mad.... taking a bus not noeing the direction... hahahahahaha.........

anyway we planned our route and when the horn sounded, we started off.... we went down frm a different staircase as other teams which made us the 1st to reach the ground flr.... shortly after we were joined by the rest of the teams.... it became obvious the diference in energy level between those youngs n olds... teams of our age n above simply bo chap and were jus walking while the youngster full of metabolism were running from the start....

we made a mistake reading the 1st clue.... we were suppose to find a bakery shop with initial s.s at geylang central but we looked at the bonus column which stated it was at blk 119.... we rounded the blk twice before realising we were wrong... we saw other groups and followed them.... so the 1st task was to buy the sushi bun... n i finished it in 2 mouth.... we went to blk 119 n took a photo of the pancake king which was the bonus points....

next was to go to malay village.... after walking frm 1st point to paya lebar mrt... we decided to kiv the malay village as it is a optional clue with only 5points. we wanted to take the train to city but the train left when we reached so we took the opposite train going to bedok which was also part of the clue....

at bedok interchange, we haf to buy anything frm the famous goreng pisang shop and dan 1 mee soto frm the famous malay stall.... we had to finish the food... 1 thing abt the malay stall... they haf integrity when they sell the mee soto... we alreadi told the mee soto satu (meanin 1) sikit(little bit) but the macik still gave us 1 full bowl.... the team beside us managed to finish the whole bowl fast when its still piping hot.... peifu peifu....

we finished tat and rush our way to the mrt station so we can go to lavender mrt where the other clues are.... jus as we came up to the platform, the door of the train closed... we saw the other team inside... as there is nothing much we can do abt it... we jus waived at them.... sportsmanship rite.... yah bullshit... jus hoping the train will breakdown... hahahahahah

we took the waiting time to plan for the nxt stop... we boarded the nxt train n started to call C n cy to count for us the eateries in citylink (cy n C... the answer is 13 though both of u gave us 14.. dun ask us we dunno y the website is not updated).... we arrived at army market where we need to buy 2 bowls of bar chor mee and finished all of it.... phew... y did we go for breakfast??? so with assistance frm sean we manage to get our bonus point quickly... the belgium chocolate waffle stall.....

we walked our way to kandarhar street where the nxt clue is... followed by haji lane....
dan we took a bus to cityhall and took a photo at the japanese occupation war memoriable (photos lata)...
frm there we went to collect serviettes frm 3 different coffeehouse.... dan doris was suffering badly frm migrane... she managed to walk to the nxt compulsory clue at esplanade... we need to make a video to advert on esplande..... aft the video, doris fall out frm the team as she feeling giddy.... so she was left in good care wif one of the organiser....

we quickly make our to the merlion where we need to get a tourist to shout "singapore is GREAT" with us... we saw 4 nihon jin walking pass ... quite pretty la... so ask song to approach them but he was like hesitating... so we ended up with angmoh ...ade's favourite... according to the ade... the ang moh is french guy... he helped us wif the video...

dan we need to take a photo of a 5 star hotel which was previously general post office...... (answer frm C: fullerton hotel)..bingo!.... this time round song got the jap gals to took the photo for us.....
aft tat we quickly walked over to OUB to take a photo... think the bollywood are filming there.... alot of indians and some cameras.....

when we were at raffles place mrt we found dat we made a mistake .... we skipped 2 bonus station at suntec skygarden.... wif 15points hanging there we had to make our way back there....
shooting video wif us singing a song to the kids and counting the flower pots ard there.....
dan we took a bus to the national stadium and took a photo of the building that is about to demolish ... it was suppose to b the stadium but we found that the police coast guard building is also demolising.... hahahahaha... we took both pictures anyway....

looking at the watch.. we thought we still haf some time to go back to the malay village... so we took a bus to paya lebar mrt and ran to the malay village to find the hainan kaya toast... kaoz so many shops there n we are all not familiar wif tat place... we cant find it and decide to gif up as time is running out....
we walked frm there all the way back to macpherson c.c and ade was feeling totally exhausted.... she says her leg was going to gif up.... so she could only walk slowly.... we suppose to return b4 5.30pm and we ended up there at 5.31pm....

we scored 210 points leaving out only 1 clue which is at simpang bedok... the 1st prize team managed to complete all i think... they scored 240 points..... wondered how they manage to finish the simpang bedok wif such short time.....

anyway that is the whole race.... it was fun and needs alot of stamina....physical strenght.... fun realli fun....
