before i start on mitsubishi challenge, let me post some photos that i took with the 25ths at a mini 25ths gathering to meet jun before she flies off on monday...it was a great lunch, with quite a lot of catching-up topics, and some sensitive questions asked (luckily the questions weren't directed at me. haha.)
the whole bunch of us at crystal jade!
jun!
bryon and jun outside frolick.
after meeting the 25ths at holland, i went back to school for agm, basically just to collect my colours award. but well, since i've been following the elections, might as well see thru the official handing over too. it's quite a good feeling to see all your juniors taking up such new roles in the school. got a silver award, which was probably better than what i expected, relative to what the rest got lar.
part of BR during agm...
friday...movie with hsien luther johnson daryk! hilarious cos they keep saying they're cai (vegetables), and i should be proud to be sitting with four cais. ah well. at least i got a lift home and didn't have to rush for mrt!=)
woke up at 5.15am the next morning for MITSUBISHI CHALLENGE! it was really a very cool experience, something that i probably wont join for many times in my entire life (it's good to try things out in uni, if not you won't get the chance already). we're supposed to complete 14 challenges from 8.30am to 6.30pm, travelling all around singapore, finding locations with clues that were given out to us. we managed to find out the exact location of each clue quite quickly, but we didn't really find out how to get to one stop to another, so we took relatively longer time in the longer routes taken, stuck in jams, etc.
us with our car at the starting point!
flag off was at around 8.30am. we went by south buona vista road (the super windy road) to get to kent ridge park. on the way there, we saw this car from the challenge that had skidded and went right into the trees, stuck beside a huge drain and with the jungle on their left. basically, they could only get out from one side of the car cos the other side's stuck. we totally got a shock when we saw the mess they were in, but luckily none was injured. we got totally scared and paranoid after that cos the roads were SUPER slippery.

we went big splash after that. tried this game called tank warfare in which 3 of us were supposed to manoevre(i dunno how to spell!) our tank to shoot at the tank of the worker. i was really tyco to have gotten our team the full points cos his tank was stuck. HAHA!
us figuring out how to use the remote properly.
2nd stop was at national stadium in which we failed at our task. was supposed to drive a mitsubishi colt around cones. basically we just took too much time. haha. 5 mins 56 sec when the time limit was 5 mins. haha.
after that, we went to orchirdville to do another vehicular challenge, in which we were supposed to push a car together and get around cones again. that was quite simple lar i guess, just that i think we wasted too much time at the start familiarising.
4th stop was at some place called the bottletree park in which we were supposed to catch small fishes from a pond. that was fine too, just that dealing with living things seemed a little gross at that point of time. i didn't even know bottletree existed.=X
5th stop was at punggol. that challenge was fine cos basically you're supposed to stack up some tyres at the back of the car, then the driver was supposed to drive thru this route that was bumpy at some parts. trick was just to drive very slowly. we got full marks for this!
6th stop was at bishan park for frost shock! supposed to count exact amount of coins that were hidden in this container of ice (which was ultra cold). our hands couldn't feel for a while after the station lar..cos it was simply too cold!
after that we went to this mitsubishi showroom (which we were totally late for but the station mistress didn't check) which took us hell long to find. the challenge was just like daytona lar.
went to mount faber after that for another photography challenge!
jane at the bridge!
bukit chandu...just supposed to fill up this questionaire which answers were found within this museum thing. that was quite ok. met daryk and kelly there!
sunset way after that to eat spicy ice cream which was quite weird. but well, it's free!=D
snow city! we were supposed to lock arms to slide down this slope while sitting on tyres! the thing was, we stepped into the snow area without wearing jacket! and it was REALLY super cold!=X got an abrasion, but it's fine of cos.=)
and after that was the extreme swing! was quite scared at first... we were too 'hum' to take the reverse bungee in which you were supposed to shoot up. not like the swing was fine, but at least there's no initial shock from the release. the swing was just like free fall, cos when they tilted us, we were like facing the ground! 50m above the ground leh. screamed for the sake of screaming too. haha. photos!
our team!
us on the swing...
us high up!
went east coast to do some parking practice, while dialing a phone number. and when we thought we were still early, the roads we went by just had to jam.
luckily we reached the ending place on time to submit our scorecard...and the buffet dinner was quite good! we wonder how our money could have contributed to such extravagence. haha!
our team sticker at the front of the car!
we went to wash the car before returning the (gangster) car to its owner. and then it's home sweet home! a long but really exciting experience!=D
