Company had corporate event yesterday 10/10/08..Theme is The Toughest Race after TARA3..well,judging fr the theme we noe its not ez job haha..all of us will be arranged in team of 6 pple & we wont noe the name list til b4 we set off for the event..

Went to work in the morn clearing my mon EA1 & PH logs..got them done by 11.15 & lunch (BurgerKing) came in ard 11.30 hehe..saw the name lists..there r Victor, Angeline, Christine, Jorshlin, Aaron & me..ermm other than aaron i dunno the rest of them! omg! was abit worried cos dint noe how well i can click wif the rest..teamwork is very impt for the event..Foo consoled me ask me not to think too much..juz relax & enjoy the games later..

Got changed & headed down to the lobby to gather..saw my team members n find them familiar (juz cant call out who is who hahah) Victor is frm HongKong & leading our team..Hippo bus came & pick us up to destination Sentosa..On the way when i saw the glaring sun i noe jialat liao,sure become roasted pig..saw Cheryl in bus & both of us decided to apply more sunblock lotion hahah..reached Sentosa ard 2 saw the weather feel like juz faint straight & drop out of the game haha..its was freaking hot..but Victor tried to encourage us..telling us even we dun aim for No.1 at least dun be the last team..so we all decided to do our best~

The host gav out instructions for the game & after Ricky's speech we started the game..Team leaders r supposed to burst balloons to get the clues inside the balloon for our next station..the 1st balloon tat he got was "Sorry pls try again" omg we almost fainted..2nd attempt for the balloon was fruitful..we got an alphabet puzzle & got the clue 'Palawan Beach'..headed there & saw marshals..the task was to fill up a waist-tall barrel filled wif small hole to the brim frm the sea water wif a small red pail..Victor did the tough job of fetching the water & the rest of us responsible to block the holes not letting the water leak out..we try to find alot stuff on the beach to try block the holes..but it wasnt enuf..we oso used the ponchos given to stuff the holes..& towards the end all of us used our hands, knees, etc to juz block the holes! i was drenched even its only the 1st station..we managed to complete the task & got the clue for the next station..

We got the ans & it lead us to the 'Songs of the Sea'..At this station there r 80 paddle locks locked to chains & there's a box wif 100 keys (20 keys r not even the ones that can open the locks!) so the rest 80 diff keys to 80 diff locks! gosh! we've to unlock 3 locks within the given time & only 3 of us can try at the same time..i think i was the lucky charm for the team hee..i unlocked 2 locks & out of the 2 locks i managed to unlocks within total of 10 attempts! even the marshals said that i m lucky..i replied "i think i was a professional thief in my past life =P"

After that we got the clue that lead us to the Luge ride..we've to take the thing up, take the Luge ride down,along the way down there'll be boards showing numbers & maths signs..we've to get the sum n minus the yr our anniversary is..actually i m abit afraid of heights..was wif angeline on the way up & i almost freaked out..she's very sweet to put her one arm around me to calm me down & the other hand holding my arm..keep asking me to close my eyes & comfort me by talking to me..i even leaned on her shoulder =P keke..but thats so sweet of her..finally got to the top & each of us took the ride down..we all got the ans rite & got the clue for the next station..

Next station is to find the beach opp "Silk of the Sea" & i think i m really heng..or cos i was hungry..The signboard of the restaurant actually caught my attention when we walkin to our 1st station..so i immed can point out the location & we managed to save alot time..hee..reached the station & this one is to kick a soccer ball into the desinated goalposts..we've to get 3 balls in & cannt be repeated members..i tried the 1st time the force was too small..but on the 2nd attempt i got it in!! omg my atheletic kick still runs in my blood isnt it? (u all better stop saying i dun exercise cos i used to b sporty when i was schooling many yrs back :P) got the next clue for the next station but this one we took sometime to decipher..cos it was juz filling in blanks wif a few available alphabets..ended up was something related to volleyball so we headed straight to the hippiest home for volleyball enthusiats..at that point of time my legs start to hurt liao..ouch..& we r heading to the toughest stage of all..they buried pingpong balls under the sand (3 whites & 1 orange) we've to dig out either 1 orange or 2 whites within 20mins to get to the next stage if not there'll be a penalty of 10mins stuck at that station..we dig & dig & dig for more than 10mins under the hot sun n we couldnt find anything! til a point i actually act kelian & asked one of the marshal can giv clues roughly where the location of the pingpongs mah..initially he said cannot tell then i was like trying my luck continue asking while digging..n he finally leaked out softly tat its ard the place i m digging..and voila we found the 1st white ball..time was running out & when all of us lost hopes thinking we'll get the 10mins penalty..we found the 2nd white ball on the 19th min! phew! by the time all of us feel like dying liao..got the clue & some water frm the marshals..

next one is to find something in the dragontrail..at this pt of time my feet hurts like mad le..think i got blisters..found the entrance of the DragonTrail but oh dear it was a LONG flight of stairs up..i hate to climb up stairs but no choice..struggled up & got to noe that we 've to solve a crossword puzzle..clue is "5 titles u'll see in frames everyday" we dint get the clue right so we tot was any 5 titles of the shows on our channels..got them wrong few times til we finally realized that they r implying the posters they framed up in office that we can see everyday..phew lucky we all had some ideas & solved the puzzle..

After that got the clue of "animals within mosaic tile, look beyond the merlion" quickly headed down to the merlion walk & saw the next stop..this station is to use a tool they gave..plastic cups tied to the end of a bamboo pole, to catch the water splurting out of the small fountains n fill up a 1.5l Coke bottle..angeline & aaron did a great job & we managed to do it within given time..& we got the next clue which is "please head down to Cafe Del Ma" we were hysterical!! we made it!! that place is the end point! we were so happy that we ran down to the nearest tram stop & board the tram..

Reached the entrance of Cafe Del Ma & ran all the way in to the end point where Allan Wu (TARA host) was at..the whole team hav to jump into the box on the floor to declare we r all in at the finishing point..Allan Wu asked if we noe how we fare..we dunno..so now he declared "Congratulations! u r team number 7" wooo we managed to make it 7th position out of the 20 teams..happy..cos Stanley they all always tot wif me the sick in the team sure will be last de..but i fared better than alot of them wahahahahah..

Immed after knowing the results we juz find the nearest sofa & rested..i took off my shoes & saw 4 blisters! omg no wonder the pain was so bad..got our bags back & the gals decided to take a shower at the toilet..lucky we came back quite early dint wait tat long for the shower..but alas i forgot to bring towel! wtf! ended up i took alot toilet papers & went into the shower..Joanne was laughing so loud to c me do that..after the shower felt fresher then head back to the Cafe..realized that alot pple down during the game..Helen Goh was injured..Kelly fell & the knee swollen..Celia even got a heatstroke & blackout..oh dear, can we like hold the company liable..hahah..the buffet came & i was super hungry..i actually ate 2 shares i think..really eating alot to replenish all the energy lost during the game..ended up sitting wif Foo, Celia & Kelly they all..while eating they r showing the slides of pics taken during the game..it was funny to c those candid shots..& foo as usual wif his lame jokes that made me laughed til cannot stop ah hahahh..too bad few of my sisters nt attending the event..it'd hav been more fun wif them ard..

Actually the Sentosa trip does remind me of some stuff wif him..esp when we passby Rasa Sentosa, Luge Ride, Merlion Walk, etc..got abit affected but decided not to think abt it..
after everything we walked back to the big carpark to take the coach out of Sentosa to Clarke Quay..decided to meet them up at Robertson Quay..but i reached earlier & guess who i met..my brother's fren YiAn & YiQuan..had a short chat wif them & while waiting for my frens i went to the bah kut teh store nearby wif bro frens ended up gossiping hahah..finally Dav reached & called me so endedup we decided to go O bar chill out..after that went up to dbl O & there r hell lots of pple last nite..think mayb SAF payday alot of regulars there? so sian..dint really enjoyed myself cos i was super tired & drained frm the whole day event..left earlier ard 12+..

Now its morning & i can feel my whole body aching like mad..i wonder how long it'll take to recover..and i m like 3 shades darker sob sob..i dun like my tanned look..but no choice i was under the hot sun running frm like 2pm to almost 7pm! drained~ super drained..think the sweat i persipred yesterday is more than wat i had for the whole of this yr..gosh..anyway think i better stop..mum cooked noodles for me..i m gonna eat & go back to zzz..i need alot of rest.. =D
