Amazing G-Race 2008

hey...yeap..i joined the Amazing G-Race organized by Sun-U's student council this year!! haha...actually i also joined last yr..but didnt blog abt it haha..anyway..this year my teammates was pravena,prabu and julie..and our team name was 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'! lol...pravena suggested it so...lol and shes the team captain...

i didnt bring my camera along with me..cos scared heavy la gotta run around and all..
anyway..amazing g-race is something like the real Amazing Race that we watch on tv...with the detours,road block and all...lol..

oh yea,the race was kinda sponsored from celcom i think..so they gave each of us a purple X Pax cap lol..and also a lil X Pax pouch to keep an egg..to make sure it doesnt break thru out the race till the last station/base..

so the best part for today was...pamela and vanessa,the 1st runner ups and sawaka the sister from the jap team,from amazing race asia came!!! woohoo~~!! really didnt expect sawaka to come thou..but so ngam shes in msia for a holiday visiting the sisters apparently so she came along also la..hehe..ECHO invited them to flag off the race for us participants of the G-Race!! woohoo~!!

so yeap..of course we wouldnt miss the opportunity to take pics!! as i said before in my really old previous posts...its best to take pics with celebs in situations like these where there is less tension and relaxing environment rather than autograph sessions and all haha..kk..im getting too excited adi haha..credits again to nicholas for taking the pics with his cun DSLR camera! XP


(l-r):prabu,julie,pamela,vanessa,sawaka,pravena and me

pam and van was giving a lil speech before we started the race,giving lil advices here n there and sawaka also sang for us! so cool wei...just saje watch them on tv ok la,suddenly get to see them in person..especially sawaka singing! cos shes all the way from japan wei lol!

anyway...moving on to the race..sadly we didnt win la haha..it was tough..for me..cos im not used to running A LOT lol..and this race was mostly running up and down to search for the stations cos we were suppose to race around Bandar Sunway only ON FOOT! lol...

i cant rmb all the challenges in the right order..but anyway,i'll just blog on the 'highlighted' challenges k haha..the 1st one was that we were given clues to search for an alphabet in diff places in college...abt 12 diff places...so we manage to find all the alphabets and we had to unscramble the letters find out our next 'destination',and the answer was the 'elephant walk' so after that we rannnnn all the way there to do the task...

there was also a station in pyramid..2 actually...the earlier one was situated outside the new wing,where we found the student council members with a cp of tables and a lot of jacobs biscuits filled with wasabi and what not. only 2 ppl were suppose to perform this task by eating 10 of the biscuits so pravena and prabu went and they managed to eat abt 9 1/2 biscuits,nice! lol!

the other station/base in pyramid was at the starbucks at the main entrance of pyramid's old wing..we got the clue from the station masters and was suppose to perform the tasks written on the paper which was:

1.to count how many steps there were at the 'giant' stairs of pyramid's old wing
2.to get a clue from 3 diff people wearing a blue celcom t-shirt and a purple celcom cap
3.count the number of the weird red rectangle thingi at the red atrium of pyramid's new wing

this one was interesting as people was looking at us babies and other teams walking and running around with purple caps in pyramid haha!

there was also this challenge where we had to go to Spectrum Food Court and solve/decipher this code..the clue given was the title,which was 'Project Bravo Equalisation' and we were given a big table of alphabets and all la..but we managed to figure it out in the end and the answer was "Celcom,its in your hands" lol! credits to prabu for cracking this code!

and one of the last cp of challenges was situated outside Monash University..this was kinda like a road block where only ONE person can perform the task..so we picked pravena..and guess what?the challenge was to find 5 coloured marbles...in a jacobs biscuit container full of worms!!but pravena manage to pull this one off,respect,good job!

as i said,i didnt expect this much RUNNING!! so i was really tired thru out the race..only time that we had to rest was during the stations while waiting for a cp of teams ahead of us doing the task..other than that it was just crunch time all the way! sorry if i had dissapointed u guys cos i lagged behind most of the time cos i cldnt really keep up with the running...and thx to julie too for waiting for me to catch up and pravena motivating me haha..really had a fun and great time with u guys!

and also another shout out to the student council people,u guys did a great job! even though as some people commented that the clues were a lil too easy or maybe straight forward but at least y'all organized it well!

and of course thank God that this event was a real success and that no one got injured or any mishaps along the way!
