The Word.
Yesterday was WILD WILD CHASE!!!
yupp, basically we all went around singapore eating food =) you should have come! (if you didnt)
Well, the day started of alright i guess. We were supposed to meet at aljunied mrt station at 9 and i came at 9.07 arounf there. I thought it would be alright like come on its 7 minutes! But, nooo, everyone was already at the mrt station -.- ON TIME for once! Well, with the exception of alvin , who, when i called him, just woke up... lol =)
Did I mention that I did not have enough people? I had to get 2 other people from my church to join my team because like, 4 people suddenly said they couldnt come only a few days before! just to make you all feel bad:
Lai Sum: had piano AND tuition on saturday even yough i told her like, 2 weeks earlier
Shafaye: apparently didnt ask her parents until the day beofre
Shaun: fell sick (fine i dont blame him for falling sick)
Isaiah: Had tuition, even though i told him about the event 3 weeks before =(
and the other people I asked that didnt come cause of weird and illogical reasons:
Samara: scared of Isaiah
Well, for those who didnt come, I believe you missed out on alot of fun! =)
The order of the trip was random, totally. But we all wet to eat ondeh ondeh first but after a while it got really sickening... After that we walked to outram park mrt to go all the way up to Senkang! it was super unfair! by the time we got to Sengkang, a half hour, or as ayushi says "a half ahh", other teams were at their third station! bleh, super unfair! anyways, when we got to sengkang, I thought that the lrt farmvale was not open yet cause it wasnt like, a few months ago. Turns out it was, but i didnt know so we walked/ran. We walked abit, then we ran, then the girls tired so we walked, etc etc.
Then we ate lunch at MACDONALDS. whoopdedoo...never tried that before...we could have eaten japanese food if we wanted, but nooo....luck was not on our side that day... Guess what the challenge was at macdonalds? we had to find $8 worth of used carpark coupons! yes i know, its really random but quite funny. We actually cheated a bit and looked at the challenge before going to macs, so we kinda already collected 9 dollars worth =)
When we left macs, we also had a little detour thingy, cause some person advertising HALLS came up to us and asked us if we would pose for a picture with the halls sweet thing, after we ate it. So yeah, it was really awesome! we did something like the matrix, only forwards =) and a really weird espression as well! dunno what it was for though...
After that we were going to walk back to sengkang mrt, but ayushi and vivian left already to go home and told us that the lousy lrt was open! so we went, but still, luck kept whacking us in the butt, and the lrt was going the opposite way, so it was an enormous loop. But we were all tired, so we just took the lrt back. Along the way, i kept checking the map, and i knew the place we were supposed to be going was just accrross the road! it was like, right there i could have seen it! but i was quite unsure and didnt trust the map which we had auctioned for $6 ( did i mention that?) so we went all the way back to sengkang. =( darn! then we took a bus all the way there!
Turns out the place (jalan kayu) was really just there! =( not funny... luck really dont like us that day....sigh....
At jalan kayu, which aptly means stupid road, i am told, we went to eat prata! it really was nice, especially the egg with onion =) we were supposed to buy paper prata too, but they ran out, so we got ice cream prata instead! it was really great too! but it was really messy, ice cream, see the link?
By the time we actually found this jalan kayu, it was around 3 plus, so we had to start going back to reach back before 4.15... NO MORE TIME TO EAT OTHER THINGS! ou next stop was durians! some apparently $60 dollar durian! what a waste, eat prata and macs...sigh...
We decided to take mrt to potong pasir, and WALK/RUN to aljunied road to take a bus back. GO check your map! its really far....for walking/running anyways...
LOl, after we ran to aljunied road we realised or remembered that we still had to spend all the rest of the money!!! $60 still havent spend... we popped by 7 eleven to buy many many many many drinks! =) $30 of drinks to be precise! =) we each like, picked up 4 drinks haha i know it waste alot of money, but thats what happens when you force people to spend alot of money in such a short time on limited items!
In the end, we were the 2nd last team to get back, the last being the teens from chirch! we beat them at timing, but they beat us in points...boy the next time theres an event, THEY GOING DOWN! haha
Overall it was really very fun! The next event coming up is the youth camp, which i will tell yall more about later, when its planned=P
Cheers! goodnight!
