Back from outrace!Wo! That was fun man! We race from north to south, east to west!
OK, for those of you who don't know, outrace is an activity organised by the Adventure Seekers Club. It's an event where groups of four each race around Singapore. When you reach your destination, you have to look around for your clue or seniors to your next destination. However, there are some restrictions:
1.) there shall be no
hand phone with you
2.) you have no $ for the start of the race
3.) your
ez-link card is confiscated -_-"'
4.) We have no watches
Yeah.....kinda lost
But it was a fun experience man!
Happenings to my team:
We hitch-hike a kind parents' car to
Dairy Farm Road. We saw the 1st clue easily, and rushed to hitch-hike a lorry to
Kranji War Memorial. On the way, another group of 4 girls jumped into our lorry. Yeah, all of us very desperate..... But it's fun to ally with a girl's team, we can hitch-hike
easier. :P
Arrived
, we went up the hill to meet the seniors. Our 1st task: count how many lamp posts there are from the entrance of the road to the entrance to the gate.....-_-'''. So we ran down and counted, and rushed back up.
We passed and the allied teams hitch-hiked a van and drove to the
Singapore Zoo. The clue there was
damm ass hard to find. We found it after 1 hour and hitch-hiked a taxi to
Civil Centre library. It was night time then.
There, we saw a 2006 clue without noticing it and went to
Chua Chu Kang Stadium. We try to find high and low for that imaginary clue. After some time, we called (borrowed phone) our seniors for help and that's how we finally realised that we found the wrong clue.....(we were
damm demoralized). (Current position: 1st, now: last)
We rushed to
MacRitchie Reservoir by car. There, we met the seniors again. Task: Answer
Qs one by one about
MacRitchie Reservoir.
After some time, we hitch-hiked a car to
Singapore Crocodile farm at
Serangoon. However, we went the wrong direction.....We hitch-hiked a bus to a stop ahead of Little India. From there, we walked all the
way nearly to our destination and we took the remaining road by bus.
We found the
clue and hurried along to our 1st pit stop:
East Coast Park. It was 1am then. We walked while trying to hitch-hike, but there were only taxis stopping for us. After mentioning the phrase, "we have no money", the driver looked away with a **** ** look and went away. After the 23 taxis, we finally got one free ride! God bless him man! Reaching there, we finally had a proper dinner (
around 2.30am), and had a quick rest.
After around 1 hour, we set off to
Fort Canning Park by a really rough young adult driver. His driving skill is really pro. We found our clue after
some time and headed off to
Takashimaya by a free public bus ride (hitch-hike). The next clue's easy spotted and we take another free public bus ride to
Esplanade. We found the seniors again and we did the
Qs regarding the
surroundings.
Next, we ran down to the
Merlion and then hitch-hiked a bus to
Vivo City. After that, we allied You
Da's group and took a free lorry ride to the
entrance of Sentosa. Then, we took another lorry to the level ground of Mt Faber. There, we met up a friendly rich woman and she gave us $50!!!!!
WO!!!!! Our teams then took taxi each to the
top of Mt Faber - our next pit stop.
We rested for 1 hour and formed a 3 group allied team and hitch-hiked 2 buses to
West Coast park's Mac. There, we met another team and allied with them. Our newly formed group hitch-hiked a lorry to
Snow City! There, our next task awaited.
Task: went into the snow area of -9
oC without any extra clothing and remember the objects there.....yeah,
damm sick.
After that, we took a taxi to
King Albert Road's Mac and did our next task.
Task: Spent the all $16 at the Mac to
receive our next clue.
It was easy, and we finally went to our final destination!
Ngee Ann Poly!
In the end, we came in 5
th and won
ourselves a chocolate bar.
From this day on, I like Lorry a lot and I learn the art of hitch-hiking.
