I never knew how tired my body could get...till I met them...
Arghhhh.... that was the first thing that popped up in my mind this morning!! My body was aching all over and I could hardly move man... I'm never ever going to run again!! Just the thought of moving fast hurts. But I'm glad it's over and at the same time sad cuz the team I was with was really great to hang out with!! Soooo going to miss them man!
Ok! Time to describe my agony and pains!!!
Met up with the Ad-Jam peeps @ 5.30pm @ NUS LT 11. It was pretty early to meet up since the teams only started registering @ 7.30pm! So we talk our usual crap and waited for the other teams to come! Ack... wait wait wait.
Ok... I think this is getting boring, let me just skip to how was my entire experience!!
I totally loved my team cuz they had a huge drive to win the competition, but unfortunately for them, this was not a race and it was based on how well you could answer questions rather then how fast you were. So even though they were extremely fast, they couldn't answer the questions hence they did quite badly for the entire thing!! Well, being fast had it's perks too even though it really put a strain to my body just trying to keep up with them!!
My partner, Yun Jia from SMU, couldn't keep up much with them so I told her to take her time and relax. But rules state that the councillors must be with the team @ all times, so after breaking the rule @ KAP Macs, I told them that we can't leave her behind anymore so we must all travel together!! This team started off 4th and they ran thru the entire Mac Ritchie stretch... they were chionging all the way man!! And the first team started off 20mins in front of them!! That's how fast and determined they were to catch up!!
So we flagged off at 12.15am, reached Rifle Range Road at 1.45am, started cycling at abt 2am? We went to SIM first then when I received a call from the organisers that cannot leave councillor behind I told them to go Macs to find Yun Jia then we rested there for 15mins!! We had like burgers and ice milo wahaha!! That's how much time we had yeah? Next, we went to the Bukit Timah Railway, followed by Turf City then SMU before heading back to Mac Ritchie! We reached Mac Ritchie at 4am in the morning and the other CJC team was there already. Wah seh... crazy ritez?
Oh yeah, forgot to mention the weather!! It was raining cats and dogs through out the night loh... By the time we reached, I was dripping wet and freezing!! Went to the canteen where I took off my shoes and socks cuz I cannot tahan... Then so cold until I had to wear my poncho to sleep if not I would've frozen lo... Didn't get much rest cuz it was too noisy, but at least I could rest my body for like 2 hours. The slower teams didn't get any rest at all, the barely arrived before they had to set off again, so I'm rather glad I managed to rest!!
The sun began to rise and off we went again this time to Toa Payoh for a Scavenger Hunt! Supposed to finish within the hour so it was pretty fast then the groups exchanged answers and the committee say not allowed, so minus points. Like the councillors knew like dat? I found that it was pretty smart to collaborate. But ok, they could've done it discretely.
Had a fillet-o-fish and ice milo b4 setting off to the next location! Clarke Quay! We ran to the station and I had to gobble down my burger loh. But in the end, reached there also must wait!! So sleep loh!! I had a nice nap on the bench there!! Met Desmond's team there then both teams choing up to Fort Canning together! My team so siao on that they climb up by the drain loh... the other team took the longer route and walked. Played a game of charades there then I took videos of the team hahaha! Pretty cool!!
After completing this task, they headed over to Geylang, but b4 reaching the checkpoint, we ate brunch at the tim sum place wahahaha!! So b4 reaching the deadline timing, we saw groups walking past us then there we were eating!! So funny!! We really had the luxury of time I guess! So after eating our fill, we went to the rockwall where they climbed and I slept!! Weeee... had another nap there it was a nice one too!
11.15am - Left Emmanuel House and headed for Beach Road!! Wahaha we went there to makan!! Woot! We left the teams behind at the House cuz they were eating packed lunch there. While my fantastically fast group went beach rd hawker centre!! Muahaha!!
12.45pm - Headed over the the Kallang Sea Sports club for their kayaking session. Tried to sleep but cannot leh... so in the end played dai dee with the rest of the councillors. Jez super zai loh... keep winning!!! Not fair!! But I finally caught up to 2nd place wahaha!! Then by the time, my team finished the kayaking segment liaoz then headed over to Harbour Front. Although we didn't follow the other teams, I don't know how they got to Harbour Front, but my team took a direct bus from Kallang... the rest seemed to take ages to get to Sentosa...
1.50pm - Flag off for the Scavenger Hunt in Sentosa! We had to combine teams so my team combined with YC's team. Hee hee! They like buay gam leh then cannot work together for the 2nd and 3rd checkpoint. But with my hints, they finally knew where to go!! I think they scored the best among all the other teams cuz they completed 4 checkpoints. Whereas other teams completed like 2 or 3 only? Hmm... not too sure but I guess they were fast!!
5pm - Played this human pyramid game to decipher some clue on top of a pole. They lifted me up but i could only read a bit. then i read all correctly except for one letter... sianz ze bua... But in the end, we still got it then not enuf time so choing to the final destination liaoz.
After that station I was really tired and needed to sleep man... I just fell asleep on the beach as I couldn't take it. My body was like nuahhhhhh. Actually until now I still feel like nuahing. Hahaha!! They did the rafting segment, they came in 1st(with another 2 teams) i think. It was a combined effort plus they got the right scientist!! So I guess that's why the team that was with them, AJC won 3rd!!
And the Grand Finale, a huge water bomb fight!!! The CJC team sure had lots of fun dunking people into the sea!! When things settled down a little, they jioed me go on to the floating platform where we played "Royal Rumble"!! Pushing each other off the platform!! Kaoz... they all aim me loh... the moment start all choing me liaoz!! Wahaha then 2nd time I'm smarter a bit choing pple first wahaha managed to get 2 pple off b4 I got thrown off as well hee hee!!
Overall, I'm totally shagged out by the event and I doubt I would ever do something like dat again... it was crazily insane!! Now I need to recover from this event... I slept the moment I reached home man... Wearing contacts for 30 hours in a row and not being able to sleep for like 36 hours is madness. Can you imagine how tired I was? I think maybe only Damian can share my tiredness since his team was another crazy one.
Tmr going out with the gang for New Year's Eve. I wonder how it'll go hee hee!!~
