Joanne joanne joanne...omg we see the funniest side of people when we are together in a pinch.

4 of us joined the Hullabaloo Blast Off organised by Tampines east cc, it's some kind of amazing race game where we travel all over tampines to 9 different stations and complete each of them.

I felt like I'm travelling all over singapore from the amount of running we did...ok fine we didn't run much...just shows I'm getting older & older...haa...

And gosh the amount of cheating we did during the game was so great I felt guilty. And yet we only got 700 points while the winners got 900 points...how in the world did they achieve that? They must have cheated even more than we did right...or maybe cheaters like us don't deserve to win hahaha...

I still remember one of the stations called Friendship where we filled up a questionaire & we were asked about our friend's questionaire without looking at our friend, and jo cheated by smsing me her answers: ddeff. I was a very blur person. I stared & stared & stared at the sms cos I didn't understand it. The questionaire had only 3 choices for each question: a, b or c, so why in the world did she sms me ddeff?? Only after the game I realised she must have wanted to sms aabcc...which is a bit too late la...so in the end our cheating didn't go very well.

And there was this station regarding religious tolerance where we were given many many different picture cards & needed to match the symbol of the religion to its name...and guess what's the symbol for buddhists? The noble eight-fold path wheel. My 3 other buddhist team mates didn't know ok! How am I suppose to know such a thing...it's not like it's displayed everywhere. And then there was no crucifix to represent christianity & my friends were confused over that...I really didn't know there are other types of crosses that represent christianity. We had to find & match TEN different religions and with our terrible general knowledge, we took a whole hour on that station. And jo kept throwing the cards down in frustration whenever we got the answers wrong...haha it was funny on hindsight.

Now I'm starting to understand how the other teams won...they were probably smarter than us in many ways...sad ah...

Heh I'm so childish joining such games...please grow up girl...but really the organizers of the event did quite a good job...it was fun, they had kayaking & all that, although I didn't actually kayak, it was really a great day in the end :)
