(this is reproduced with permission by Stacy - thanks Stacy!; full set of photos can be viewed at our imagestation gallery) 12 June 2005 Sunday My legs hurt. My hands and toes hurt. shoulders. haha heck. my whole body hurts!! =) and its all thanks to The Genesis II Amazing race yesterday. it was darn fun =)) Haha. Had to wake up at 7am to get myself ready and well-packed to go to church for the amazing race. =) got grouped up with anthony, sam, emily and edmund . =) and when marilyn shouted ONE TWO THREE GO!!!!!, everyone just ran like the amazing race to their bags. was damn exciting =)
around our bags were our first clue. haha. EVEN THE ENVELOPES LOOK LIKE THOSE IN AMAZING RACEE!!!! our first stop was the thai restaurant in expo. we ran to eunos mrt station to get a transfer of trains at tanah merah. then i felt a very dizzy feeling, like how i felt after i ran the 2.4. that kind of feeling. then in my head i was thinking " wth, ITS ONLY THE FIRST STOP !!" "emily, i feel like vomiting" pukes. haha. the funny thing was what i puked was all water. Sam said it was because i drank too fast after running.
SO heres what briefly happened!! -we had to fix this iq puzzle, fix those shapes into a triangle. man.. we were stuck at that!! -we had to find a walkie talkie by talking into one, and finding the other. that was easy -we had to count the number of green beans!! had to count twice because we dropped some. muahaha. but in the end it was 134!! -we had to go up 13 floors with our bags, find the clue and go down. LEGS PAIN !! u dont know how u feel at the last few steps. u felt like your legs are paralysed or something (we did so much walking before this) -we had to find two guardians statues at the east coast park. which took years because it wasnt near the macdonalds at all (the clue said it was near the golden arches) !! haha. then anthony had to paddle to marilyn to get the next clue.
-then we had to walk all the way from the mac east coast to the BLUE LAGOON!!!!! we were walking briskly and it was a damn horrible passe. We brisk-walked for almost an hour!!! luckily the next stop we had a 45 min break. phew. -then we had to untie the knots from a tree, and then we had to go all the way to an open field. -it was crazy!! haha. we were given 10 buckets, and there were only two which had clues inside. so we kept picking wrongly and we had to drink 4 BUCKETS OF WATER!! emily vommited. it was crazy. 4 buckets of water!! we were damn unlucky!! -we had to go to republic theatre near parkway parade, and we needed to eat pig liver and kidney . that was not bad actually! haha. -ooh the best part!! we had to go Queen of peace church to find melina. and from the M&M dispenser we had to keep pushing it down to find one white tic-tac out of all the m&ms. =) mm!! sugar rush. we had to eat them all. muahahaha!! -the last part. MUAHAHA. we had to squeeze tomatoes into a cup till its half full and drink from it. it was disgusting really. i kept having the vomit sound. bleuk. it sucked =) but i spit it out when no one looked. muahaha.
___________________________________________________ during this journey we had to walk, we had to run most of the time, and it was really tedious. once we had to walk more than an hour. that time i really felt like giving up. it was very hard. we went along to the whole of the east area. But my group was great , they pushed all of us =) team spirit WOOHOO!! In the end we got third. But its okay!! =) you should see emily's passion. She is definitely a strong person!! Her knees were injured during half of the journey but she still strived on and stood by the group. without her i dunno what we'd do. such a strong character!! props for that.
so we walked,ran,sweated,and had fun from 9am-5pm. woohoo!! it was tiring but it was damn fun =) definitely bonded. i loved it!! the last stop we went to was priscilla's de manor function room. the place she lived in was so beautiful okay!! it was like a condominium, but instead of apartments it was terrace houses. DAMN PRETTY!! like castles! we went swimming at her house . muahaha. when we played dog and bone it was damn funny because when we swam to the bottle (the bone) everyone would have leg cramp and we needed someone to bring us back. we kept having leg cramps!! hahaha. the food they cooked were damn nice as well. mmm. =) I love g2. =) now i still walk like a bai ka, the after effects of having a leg cramp. so i decided that i shall give myself a good rest today =) we definitely bonded alot. =) YAY!!!!
