Amazing Race yesterday! I so wanna sue and curse those SEG people who set this.
I think is about 30 teams and the teams were spilt up into 3 routes. So there are 3 different coloured cards, pink, blue and green. We are the blue route. They also stated 4.45pm all the stations will be closed.

Teammates:
-Audrey
-Lisa
-Nette

First place to head to... the park beside AMK hub. Dammit! Need to climb so many flight of stairs! So tiring... And the task to do there is so FREAKING disgusting!

1)receive 3 tomatoes
2)squeeze them by biting and chewing them with your mouths
3)spit the juice and collect them in a styrofoam cup -disgusting-
4)one of the members have to drink up the juice -this we didn't do... we have leeway from the very nice GM! anyway I won't do it also. I will most probably puke-
5)next eat 6 cucumbers. 2 each team members.
6) clue receive

Second place is the most sickening terrible one. We had to call sooo many people to help on this clue.
"This man owns a chain of hotels
His family was once listed in Forbes Singapore's richest people
Now he has a hospital named after him
Locate this hospital and go to the pond next to it"

Card clue picture

We spent alot of time and money on this 2nd stage. We first thought was at Tan Tock Seng Hospital as it's the only hospital we know is named after a person so we went there. The security guard told us TTSH don't have any pond beside and called us to go to KK hospital. But KK means Kandang Kerbau, “buffalo enclosure” in Malay. It's definitely not someone's name... But we ran out of ideas so we head there. There is a pond beside KK. But it's different from the picture!! So we decided to take a cab to Raffles hospital. wahhhh! Luckily the taxi driver uncle know what the clue is talking about!! We are in luck! The hospital is called Khoo Teck Puat Hospital located at Yishun! It's a new hospital! No wonder we don't know about it. So we didn't go to Raffles hospital! It think it's really lucky for us to have such a clever taxi driver, because some taxi drivers are really fucked-up. No offence there.

On taxi!

The taxi fare amounted to $15.10. From Little India there to Yishun... And yeah, it's the correct place!

The damn hospital also haven't build yet! What kind of clue is that! And I have wasted approximately 1hour and 30 mins of my life getting to the checkpoint. The task to do is:

1)One member will pick a number. -we got the number 1-
2)Another member will be blindfolded and will have dip his/her hand into a pail and grab a numbered ping pong ball. (There are 5 balls, only 2 are numbered. The number will determine the cup that your team will be drinking.)-we got number 2! So unlucky! Need to drink!-

And the pail which my friend dipped her hand in, CONTAINS FROGS! I was so happy! I immediately put my hand hand in and grab one.

There is it! -look at my long nails XD-

The guys there thought I'm not a girl. LOL! Because the female GMs are all scared of the frogs! so funny! Anyway, the cup we have to drink contain green jelly stuff and bubbletea pearls. It's OMG SALTY! And awful! I only have one mouth of those stuff and my stomach turned upside down! -I brought home that frog in a bottle =X-

Third clue, we had some jumbled up letters. Using my ultra uber puzzle-solving skills, I solved it in less than a min! Next stop, IKEA at Queenstown! Imagine?! From Yishun to Queenstown?! Another 1hour30mins of my precious life gone!
Task to do:
1)one member have to find the particular furniture on the card and write down the name and price down. -I did this-
2)the other two members have to create a photo frame out of chopsticks. -Audrey and Lisa did this-


Fourth clue, a picture with chickens, a key and a C with a burger in the middle. We figured out this one pretty quickly. And headed towards Clarke Quay, Central's Burger King.
Task:
1)Find two Sir Stamford Raffles statues (both white and black)
2)Use hp to take photos of it and with them. (4 photos)
3)Go back
So freaking hot! And need to walk so far....... We didn't know what is the black statue so we follow one of the teams there =X

You can obviously see the sun glaring down at us!

Fifth clue, some shapes (circle + parallelogram + rectangle) and _E_ _I_A_L _N_. Next stop to the Changi Airport! Terminal One! From Clarke Quay to Changi Airport! Can you believe it?! Time waster! Dammit! When we reach the Airport, we have to take the skytrain to Terminal One! And find the bloody GMs. They purposely hide one!! The GMs still wore jackets covering their shirts! (we are suppose to look for people wearing bright green or yellow SEG shirts or black RP shirt) So irritating! I felt like smacking them the moment I spotted them. And they acted like they are right somemore!

Task:
1)Find a caucasian child
2)Take a photo together with the child
3)Bluetooth the photo to them

Here is the photo! XD

We had a hard time finding a caucasian child!! And here, I thought I can find alot of them at the airport. The child, he is sweet-looking! So cute! And his parents were so nice =D They were like Sure! Why not! He takes to take pictures especially in his outfit now!

Sixth clue, another freaking one like the 2nd clue on the hospital!
"Find the place where lies
the art works of what was touched by 6 international hand
Upon arriving...
Locate us at a theater
Just around Sky Park"

We were like WTF? So we called one of our friends, and he said Vivo City got Sky Park. From Changi Airport to Vivo City... Funny isit?! And I didn't know Vivo City has a Sky Park. But now I know that, that place is called a Sky Park.

When we reached there, we can't find anyone. But we saw one team walking around there also looking for the GMs. We noticed the time had already passed 4.45pm. Thus the stations were already closed! We called Nisa, one of the organizers. She said all packed and left, and told us to come back to RP. No way, am I going back to RP! Vivo is like so near my home. We rejected and went home!

So our whole Amazing Race route is

RP > AMK > (Novena, Little India) Yishun > Queenstown > Clarke Quay > Changi Airport > Vivo City > HOME!

I felt that the whole Race is ridiculous and the GMs and organizers are very irresponsible. If we did not have Nisa's number (we have her number cos Lisa and me were from Art.IG and Nisa is one of the members there), we would be wandering around Vivo City. No, they didn't give us any numbers to call at the beginning of the race.

And what's my reward for this? Aching legs and back, smelly and sweaty, and lastly a FROG! XP One more thing, I won't give birth at KK hospital and definitely not that Khoo Teck Puat Hospital!!!!!!!!

-ARGH! SUE! PROTEST!-
