i'm backkk.

i've got this strange feeling that i'm somehow obliged to blog. hahah. plus i wanna pen all these things down to look back on someday.

anyways, ange has already blogged bout Al-Fu's wedding with most of or pics so u can read about it here, if u haven't already. lol yes, i'm slow.

One of the highlights of this year would have to be Danson's Amazing Race, in conjuction with his 20th birthday and farewell (which he later found out that he didn't have to leave that soon- so yay for all of us! lol). i must say, it was extremely well planned considering he did it alone. so kudos to u, danson :)

The day started off at Jandakot airport where pilot boy had a little sausage sizzle going on. ange and i made some banana-marshmallow-chocolate dessert thingy *drools* hahah. ohh and we all had to wear a bandana. i had the hardest time looking for one :S anyways, we then split into 7 teams of 3 or 4

L-R: Team HURRH!! (with extra oomph! lol best non-boring team picture!), Kenny's angels -.-'", Team AAA



L-R: Battalion 28, Italian Job



L-R: Team (wachamacallit), Ginger O, Aeroplane Jelly

We started off with a Road Block, where 1 person from each team had to perform the task. Team HURRH chose the only girl from their team... *sweat*. we had to run around Jandakot airport looking for the only shop that sells parts i think. my heart almost dropped out. haha i saw the place from far! but i didnt think it was that cos everyone else who ran back with the answer came from another direction.. lesson learnt: never ever follow other donkeys :P haha

1st challenge was at Myaree's utopia where we had to say one of 2 lines.. either 'i'm a fan of Jay Chou or i'm a fan of Stephen Chow which will get us either a sweet or bitter bubble tea. when i was reading the clue it said "board a chartered plane...".

me: AAAAAAAHHHHHH! he's gonna fly us on a plane!!!!! *big huge smile*
Jon & D: impossible. r u sure? read finish first
me: yeaaaa it says board a chartered plane and get ur pilot to take u to ur next destination.

*reads reads reads*

Jon & D: Utopia Myaree!
me: ohhh.. then when do we get to ride in the plane??
Jon & D: -.-'"

2nd challenge- Narrows Bridge, where Agape goes for biscuiting events. Danson was there to greet us with our next clue and a CD. We were given a little pink plastic ring which we had to throw into the fire.. - King's Park! Jon's car didnt have a CD player so couldnt play it. the other teams later told us it was the Amazing Race theme song which got everyone even more pumped up.

3rd challenge- Kings Park. lol no, we didn't throw the ring into the fire. Chi Yen was at the Whispering Wall waiting for us. We had to recite the whole chorus to "No greater love" which was also in the CD to obtain our next clue. that was my (one and only) forte. ahha Jon & D just followed along (lol like in White Chicks when they were singing 1000 miles). then we ran back to the car b4 we even opened our next clue.. -.-'" and our next challenge was just right where we were before..

4th challenge- ran past chi yen again and she was laughing at us. anyway it was a detour. so we picked the one where we had to count the number of soldiers in some battalion thing.. and WALK all the way to the top of the DNA tower to reveal our answer to Darren and get the next clue.. lol i couldn't walk that far and was obviously slowing Jon & D down so decided to take turns and piggyback me. our answer was wrong :O hahah so we had a 5 mins penalty and waited on the top of the DNA tower with Italian Job and Hui and Flick from Team Aeroplane Jelly (they were split up from the guys who went for the wrong detour.. or sth like that. haha so they had to wait)

5th challenge- Road block, where 1 person from each team had to eat a whole piece of dry bread in 1 minute. Easier said than done. Failure to do so resulted in all team members eating 2 pieces of bread each. lol only Alvin managed to complete that one successfully..

6th challenge- Detour at Danson's old school, Shenton College, where we had to pick between Academic or Athletic. Only team Ginger O picked Athletic, where they had to do what Tan was doing in the pic...around the huge field. In Academic, we chose to name all 20 elements of the Periodic Table... thinking that I could remember it but obviously all those years of Chemistry went down the drain. So we called up Lyndon ;P hahaha who patiently recited it all for us. little did we know that almost all the other teams did that as well. hahhah poor Lyndon.

7th challenge- we had to answer the clue that would lead us to Challenge Stadium, where his mum was waiting to give us the next clue. that was pretty simple.

Pitstop!- Finally! ... but it was all the way at Scarborough at the Observation. We came in 4th but nevertheless, it was nth short of a fulfilling and fun day. And i liked how he put it in his last clue where 'it was never mentioned that only the 1st team to arrive would be the winner'. very insightful hahah.

we then proceeded to a beach side house to celebrate the rest of the night. ohhh daryl arrived from singapore and we celebrated Jon's 22nd that night as well- with lychee 'cake', ais potong, mahjong, family guy and an A380 SIA model plane.

the end! i'm rather proud of myself for this long post :P hahah.
