Sunday, 13th March The Amazing Race was today, checked if Amanda was in MY grp in the morning. Turns out she was. Yay! North 13! Aniwae, assembled at front of church and waited for the rest. Amanda and I folded our sleeves, the trademark of an RGS girl, haha. Went to chapel for further insructions when i met Chloe again (coz i met her outside too!), as usual, she was being her hyper self, boucing up and down. Maybe not, but she was chloeish. Theres no other way to describe it. Our grp reported, and we got our clue. When we cld leave, we followed sister limin out of the chapel, where ah ma linda tried to block us, which was a kinda sad attempt, seeing that despite popular belief, I'm in actual fact not THAT fat. So... Amanda and I raced to the bus stop. I told her it as good 200m sprint practise. :p We had to SQUEEZE on the bus. As in really really squeeze, coz one member of our grp had already gone up the crowded bus, and 3 or 4 grps were already there. Since it was so squeezy, when one of the other grps were poring over their clue and discussing which station to do first, I invited myself into the gang and purposely bent over their clue so they would realise it was futile discussing clues there. I'm mean, i know, but too bad. :p Bus stopped at the stop before MacRitchie Reservoir carpark (that was our first destination). We were about to get down when one of the sec 4s, i forgot which of them it was amidst the crowd and confusion, realised that it was the wrong stop, and getting down at the stop after wld be nearer. Unfortunately for another grp, they didn't realise that. So off they went, when the bus moved off they started running, coz they realised we didn't get off. The bus, was obviously faster then their running. At the next stop, Amanda and I decided to do another 200m sprint and lead our pack. But when we reached, after waiting for like.. 2-3mins, sis limin still hadn't appeared. So amanda and I just stood there catching our breaths and watching the other teams run past us as our team members reached us. Still no sign of Val n sis limin. Ater waiting for a long time, sis limin and val finally reached us. Apparently, val had left her hp on the bus or something like that. Quickly, we hurried to the stations. Saw chloe's grp there, finishing their first station and starting on their second. We hurriedthrough our tasks, basically, transferring guppies and frogs to different containers. From there, we took 156 to Bishan. (156 was my suggestion coz i take 156 and 156 only most of the time.) Went there, walked to Grandmother's HDB flat. Blk 222 i think it was. Can't remember. There we were told that we were the 6th grp to arrive. Hah! We were assigned blk 221, i think, which is the blk next to my grandma's blk. It was kinda lucky dat 221 wasn'y my aunt's blk as well. My aunt stays at one of the blks near my grandma's blk, but I'm not sure which one. Collecting 100kg of newspapers was tough. Real tough. Thats what slowed us down loads. After runnig through the entire blk, we had but 60kg. I paired up with Kat! Kat's a nice partner. One of the hses Kat and I went to had a HUGE stack of newspapers, (we saw through the open windows). So we knock on the door and talk to a little boy through the window, we ask him if they have spare newspapers to give us, which they did have. So the little boy went calling to his mummy asking whether they could give newspapers. But this man sitting on the couch, i assume he's the boy's father, said "Mei you bao zhi, wo men mei you!" Which is basically, "Don't have newspapers, we don't have!", when directly translated to English. Its so... mean. Anyway, we couldn't do anything except say 'thank you' and walk away rite... When we finally got done, Im not gonna say how, we did something called run like a mad person to the bishan mrt station at j8. I think that run was probably about 800m! Amanda and I ran in front again, but we couldn't run all the way coz we were hampered by bags, n we were already super tired from running up and down staircases with the newspapers. Took MRT to Ang Mo Kio. There, we went to the Food Centre place, n we waited in front and wondered about for about 3 mins before we realised P Darick and Bro ZhiCao were at the BACK!!!! Argh! Then we of course, told them we waited for SO long, then P Da asked how long we waited, then someone decided to exaggerate and say 10 mins, but P Da and Bro ZhiCao didn't believe us, so i decided to make it more realistic and said '1/2 an hr!' P Da was like... yeah rite! But, i mean, i already knew i was right. I didn't need him to tell me. :p We were made to eat roasted ants! yuck! 2 pieces per person, or it cld've been one ant broken into 2. Who knows? Of course, we weren't told what it was til we ate it. It wasn't so bad coz we ate it with the chocolate ice kachang. And thank goodness it was only ants, coz during fear factor last yr, we had to pass dead cockroaches to each other. Aniwae, we finished the task quickly and headed to Toa Payoh. I smsed shinnie and asked her what 'God loves you' was in french. She told me what God likes you was. Haha. Den she told me what 'love' was and asked me to chuck it in myself. The result i got was dieu vous amour. Til now i dunno whether its correct or wrong coz we had 6 dif languages just to be safe. We finished, ran to the bus stop, caught the bus and guess who we met? None other then Chloe's team who had been ahead of the bus a lot! They were at the back of hte bus, so ahma n sis limin were plotting on how we cld all get out before them. Coz we were neck and neck now and whoever got out of the bus first wld win. haha, ahma had a silly suggestion, bribe the driver and get him to onli open the front door. So funny... haha. Aniwae, since chloe's grp was at the back of the bus, we got out first, naturally, seeing that we were blocking up the whole exit. The first person to get out from Chloe's team was Chloe of course, my fellow RG TnF tracker, my jie, and a jolly gd sprinter she is. Chloe, Amanda and I raced to the finish. Amanda had a headstart for she was the first off the bus. Chloewas after me, but caught up with me coz my back came undont and i cldn't run. Actually, its not realli my bags fault, I am slower den Chloe. Chloe was slow on staircase of overhead bridge, thus Amanda reached first! Den Chloe, n me! N we re all so proud of each other, COZ WE'RE ALL FROM RGS!!! RGS RAWKZ! But den, we had to wait for all the other team members to arrive. And since we got off first, we reached first, so we beat Chloe's grp when they shd have beaten us instead for they had been faster den us all along, and got onto the bus first. Aniwae, Chloe's and my grp came in 5th and 6th. Not to bad, out of 13. We went and found Char, and told her that Hadley, Tarbet and Waddle rawk, but Buckle doesn't, coz Char's in Buckle. But I think Char doesn't like Buckle, she agreed aith us that Buckle doesn't rawk. So traitory rite? After that, PGT preached about the Amazing Race, the one as a Christian, and how we do not want to miss out on the prize. Overall, it was a really really eventful day.
