From Pasir Ris to BoonLay!
Bus-ed there. walked a v v long distance, no one wanted to let us hitch a ride.
FARMART CENTRE,
Collecting of Cans, The Auntie there was so nice to give us the cans!
But luckily on the way out, someone allowed us to HITCH A RIDE!
The good sign in SG dont work at all!
We need to wave and wave till some one stops.
Next Stop,
BUKIT TIMAH HILL![TIN BEARING HILL]Uncle brought us there at 5 dollars.
Imagine it should be 10bucks plus.
Only 5BUCKS!
I will never forget the boy named YiXiang,
He was the station master there.
When we reach there, his face was actually quite pale,
so he said"Can you please do me a favour, get me my bag"
We just brought it to him and he said, thanks so much, the monkeys wanted to attack me.
I will never forget that incident, so cute lah. haha.
But the next thing is they made us go on FOOT all the way to
BUKIT BATOK NATURE RESERVE!THE WALKING IS SURE NOT NOT NOT EASY,
Especially w the BAGS!
Reached there, settled the activity.
I can piggy back a 60kg guy okay! haha!
Lucky they were not so small size,
otherwise how can they piggy back me? Haha!
It was
Dinner time then!
Next stop was
BOTANIC GARDEN[Walter bruening, ginger garden-The Oldest Ginger Garden]I still feel so guilty when i brought them to the wrng place.
We went to hort park instead and missed out the last check point.
So we headed back to
East Coast Park to Spend the night.
Even inside the tentages, it was still so so so COLD!
2ndDay of SurFIVE,
We were the last group to head off, lagging behind the rest at 1hr.
5th group in position out of 6 teams.
ONE MISTAKE MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
Our first stop was
LIM CHU KANG, LANE 6."Uncle, Can bring us to LIM CHU KANG, 12 dollars. Please, we are on a race, please help us."
"Okays, Come come come"
"Yio Chu Kang Where?"
"Uncle is LIM CHU KANG."
"HUH?! LIM CHU KANG?"
"Cannot lah, Cannot"
"UNCLE, CHUA CHU KANG PLEASE!!"
So the nagging goes on and on, but he still brought us thr.
Seriously, it is a long long long long walk aft we alight from the bus!
Photo taken w the Froggy!
I wanted to touch it, but cannot lah. So big size!
Next stop was
MOUNT FABER PARK![LESIURE GROUP]
We wanted to use the internet to seach,
but before i can use it, she said, what you want to search on?
"LESIURE GROUP."
"MOUNT FABER, GO."
So nice of the person lah. Tough she seemed kind of disturbed. haha.
Some one let us hitch a ride to the main road,
and some couple let us hitch a ride all the way to the pioneer and gave us 10bucks for transport!
Next was a v nice taxi driver
"Uncle, we only have 7 dollars, can you please bring us to Mount Faber, We are on a race and we have really limited budget! Please uncle, PLEASE!"
"Okay, Okay, come in, come in."
We Reached there wanted to pay him and he said,
NO NO, GO. GO, SAVE FOR YOUR NEXT TRANSPORT.
Singaporean is really really filled w nice guys!
Next Check Point was
ADMIRALITY PARK-WEST ENTANCE.We hitch a ride to AMK.
See, NICE SINGAPOREAN.
Just that it was so squeezy till my leg went numb.
When we asked some one whr is the place and she told us,
Just beside RP, we turned to YL.
It was just beside RP and he forgotten it!
We took a long time to find the Station masters there.
They were at the Sakura back door instead. Damn.
Tug of War was cancelled instead due to wet weather.
We camped there for 15mins!
Time is curcial in the competiton.
Next CheckPoint,
BOTTLE TREE VILLAGE![A PAPER, TREE VILLAGE INSIDE A BOTTLE]Just because i kept gng to Sembawang that time and i always pass by Khatib,
And red dynasty paintball field was there, i always saw BOTTLE TREE
PARK!
I didnt know there's bottle tree village! It was near sembawang park,
damn damn damn WULU, LONG WALKING DISTANCE!
After that was
MAC RITCHE RESERVIOR,We thought it was the last check point so we went to collect more recyle materials to deduct away the timing.
It wasnt! It was the last SECOND CHECK POINT.
When we reached, we saw them, and they gave us the clue,
PIOLT SCHEME!I made a guess, AIRPORT.
They looked at me, anyhow, Pilot scheme means First scheme,
So we thought and thought,
it was
BARTLEY SECONDAY!The first school to start NPCC!!
This was our timing for the RACE!
HEH. FELT SO GOOD.
We thought we were the Fifth team,
feeling kind of demoralised already,
So when i saw the "Passports" on the table i counted,
"ONE, TWO ,THREE" and repeated "One, Two, Three"
They asked me, you crazy uh, what 1,2,3 1,2,3?
I said, 3 passports only, so we are the 4th?!
Station master said, Yah, 4th!
We were so delighted!
Hopefully the recycle cans can helped take away the marks,
As the rules is not just the first who reach wins,
but 500g of recycled materials equals to 15mins of deduction of your time.
Because we missed one check point,
if not, we will be the 3rd team i guessed.
Most probably joining next year if there is a race and i'm so gng to get the same team.
I had fun w AREA7 PEOPLE.
Missed them really, the fighting spirit we had,
Supporting your opponents is some thing that not everyone will do.
EVERYONE DID, IT FELT SO WARMING.
Buffet & CampFire after that.
This was really a good good experience w me.
Be it the bondings or FUN.
I ENJOYED ALOT! :D
