Raffles Trail
Raffles Trail! it was indeed an exciting experience hahaha. my team comprised of me ryan xiutang tsai and onson(bballer)! Firstly we reported to the LT and got to know our first destination! Potong pasir cc! We were well equipped with our street directories and bus guides so we started planning our route. A pleasant surprise was that we were provided with food and drinks. fun buns! according to justin while eating them u'll have lotsa fun haha. Ok so we spent 1.5 hours planning our route..and after synchronising our watches..we trooped off to the mini square beside the parade square and awaited the start of our race! Ooh yes we got to see lee hsien loong flagging off at the start.haha excitment was in the air.and somehow we managed to be the first in line!
so the horn blew and off we sprinted to the 13 bus stop!! btw ryan helped xiutang carry her bag in his bag. good on ya mate! haha. winfred and team had pretty cool raffles flags painted on their faces hahaha.met them along halfway.they were going to raffles montessori..which we considered as our next destination but couldnt find it on the map.oh well lucky for them daozhe lived in the area and knew exactly where it was.thanks to hammy for his help anyway :) so 13 it was...and we stopped along with a bunch of rg girls..we stormed past the mrt station but thankfully took a look at the map there..which led us to the correct potong pasir cc.hahah believe it or not there are TWO potong pasir ccs!! -_- ok so we reached and did our task.which was throwing balls at this target..like darts..and accumulating points..pretty easy and we chionged to our next destination. raffles laselle international design school.
oh man what an irritating place. accoridng to the map it is near dhoby gaut mrt but when we reached we trekked up this really huge slope..near paradiz there.hahah and all in vain.after running..asking security guards...cab drivers..we still could not find it..in its place was this construction site..must have gotten the wrong destination! (i still cant find the correct destination in the street directory man!) then from up there..we walked down thru the construction!! it was quite cool going inside a building yet to be fully built hahaha.guess the irony was that the most reliable ppl who gave us great directions was the construction workers themselves..not saying that we should underestimate them though.ok so we burned about 30 min of our precious 4 hours in vain.feeling a little helpless we racked our brains and persevered on and went to smu instead!! good job team!
at smu we had to find this place called the lee kong chien business school. sth like that la. and i must say the ppl in smu know their campus really well they were able to direct us to the place easily.however the run was really quite far.and by the time we reached we were all sweating like mad.so our next task was this finding the key to this lock from a bunch of crushed up paper. that was done quickly! but the real task was this lock which needed a 3 digit combi.the clue was that the 3 digits added up to either 5,15 or 25. it being the 25th anniversary of sorts i thought that would have been the number.but apparently it wasnt..so after trying several combis..it proved to be in vain.jus when i was about to give up. i chanced upon this combination and it opened the lock!!! in my jubilation...i didnt even take note what the combi was...LOL! haha but that was really a rejoiceful moment so we set off to our next station. however we got a shock when we realised one of our important papers was missing!! so tsai ran back to check.but it could not be found.but in the end onson found it in his bag hahaha! that was quite funny. so anyway our next stop was fort canning.
we found the place relatively quickly!! haha reminded me of the destination for one of the amazing races in singapore..so our task there was to solve a few math equations.i only rmbed mine so here goes..can use bodmas..make the following into 25. 3 3 4 1 2. haha welll..for you readers out there it's 3*(3+4)+1+2!! hahah ok so our next destination was either raffles girls primary or toa payoh.ahhhh while we were waiting to cross to dhoby gaut mrt. bus 171 came!!! we could haf taken it to rgps..but the bus driver did not open for us :( hahaha.if only we had been more alert..the trip to rgps would have changed everything.cuz that station was worth 400 points!! thats alot relative to the total score. i mean the winners of the ipod video had 1900 plus points..so that's like one quarter of it.
we were supposed to find a bicycle parking space there..near the hdb hub.oh man we ran around a hell lot..sort of competing with the other groups who were there to reach the place first..but we all couldnt find it! turns out it was right in front of the mrt!!!! stupid us hahaha. oh well we had to find RAFFLES medical group..which thanks to tsai we found really easily. me and ryan overshot man! hahaa.next we had to find out the hp number of this xavier guy. took us 5 min. thanks to onson's contact with yacong we got his number easily!! our next stop was raffles place!
thankfully my phy tuition is there so im quite familiar with the place..and 3 weeks ago me and my tuition mates were looking for a place to eat and ventured to the octagonal courtyard..and then to laupasat!! haha our original intention was to go to the station at the courtyard.however we arrived too late..so we had to settle for the laupasat.there the task was to run around tapping numbers..pasted on trees dustbins,etc..to form a phone number the station master gave us. ryan did a hell lotta running around haha.on hindsight we should have taken turns to run! lol sorry ryan! good job anyway! :) by that time we had 30 min to get back to school.so we chionged to the mrt station and took a rest on our way back to bishan
we reached bishan mrt at 252 and started sprinting all the way back to school. we reached the traffic light at 255..and continued sprinting back.haha amazingly we managed to reach the finish line at 3pm on the dot!!!
hahah what a day it was for us. running around like mad dogs. sweating it out. missing lunch.. and although we did not win anything (ahhhh my IPOD VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!) im sure it was a GREAT experience for us!! well it definitely was for me! hahah it's super damn fun la. hope to take part in more of such events next time!! :):)
anyway congrats to jenhan and winfred for winning a krumpler and ipod nano respectively!
class outing tmr!! peace out!
