We went through an AMAZING RACE of CHOICE today. After solving the puzzle last night, the coaches told us we got 6 hours of sleep and can choose what time to set off. Its going to be a race (Can only take 1 bus ride and 1 MRT ride) to the end. The winner will have positive consequences dished out! The first clue we got was to go to Little Guilin where we enjoyed a bit of scenery while attempting to throw a frisbee properly. Then we were off to KRANJI WAR MEMORIAL to find Yusof Ishak’s tomb. Some of us searched the whole cemetery but could not find it. It was actually just beside the entrance on a spacious lawn, where Benjamin Sheares was buried on the other side. Here is a picture of us at the tomb!
Then we went on to a place called Salvation Army to rest for 1.5 hours while we strategise for the next leg of the trip. The next leg was very shiong as we had to climb all the way to the summit of BUKIT TIMAH. However, we did it as a team and everybody putting 100 per cent and push to the limit. The next part of the race was even more tiring. At Rifle Range Road, the road seemed never ending but with a long way to go, all it takes is for you to have the right attitude! After Rifle Range Road we had to do a supermarket spreee with Coach Ridtz as we stood outside the KAP Macs to gather items that can only amount up to 20 dolalrs! The next part was even more exciting as the groups’ energy level became high and they rushed to complete the FILL IN THE BOTTLE activity. With teamwork and the spirit to do WHATEVER IT TAKES, we can always succeeed! The last portion was something we always were challenged with…suicide runs! Again here we truly showed ALL FOR ONE ONE FOR ALL. And even thou some groups did not get first, whats important was that WE PLAYED TO WIN! and in each of us there is an MVP waiting to be unleashed! So 16 hours 7 destinations and 50 km better, we came back accomplished and feeling stronger!
