haha! the four of us travelled around singapore on bus, mrt, taxi and our sprinting footsteps within those three and a half hours! definitely the most exciting race i've ever joined in my entire life! imagine chuan yuan with his super anxious and serious face (he woke up at 4am in the morning to mug all the mrt lines, landmarks.. x_x) and guangfeng with his "we must win! we must win! we must win the 600 bucks!".. in the end pam and i got infected with their winning obsession and just went all out to reach these 10 stations in the shortest time possible. all out! including spending 10 dollars per person to take cab =P

we ran IN the mrt, ran past the weird looks people shot at us, then quickly jumped out of the right cabin when the doors slid open, posed at the woodlands statue, chuan yuan took the photo, and ZOOM! we rushed back into the train before the doors closed on us! phew! haha at bukit batok it was even worse. 3 hwachong groups squeezing at the same door, with the same plan in mind.. and that totally stunned an innocent passer-by standing at the mrt platform! lol, poor thing!

though we got 4th in the end (disappointing - far from our expectations of getting the 600 bucks), it was still a really nice experience! watching guangfeng run, cursing that other groups will get disqualified oops, meeting a really nice taxi uncle who helped us overtake the other group, us getting all worried that we can't win, and telling each other not to give up hope! (lol, that sounds so drama) and besides that, we managed to win a cool kiddy umbrella :) happy happy. pam, chuanyuan, guangfeng, yay! :D

today on my way back from school, i met this really cute baby girl in the bus! she's so adorable! her maid was carrying her and they were sitting next to me. and the baby kept smiling at me, despite sucking her thumb at the same time.. then she called me "jie jie!" so sweet! if only i had a camera with me. but then they might just freak out, haha.
