Saturday 190708

Am two days late, but still have to update about FOF 2008 (Fun On Foot) cause it's something that i enjoyed so so so much. Really dreaded having to wake up so early on a saturday, but since i only do that like once in a blue moon, i treated it like any other normal school day. Hahaha met up with Foong, Zhi Hao and G and we headed to Suntec. Was almost late (all thanks to Zhi Hao, tsk). Got the booklet thingy and started to find and figure out the unknown places. The clues they gave were still as vague as ever -.- If i did not remmeber wrongly, FOF 07 was easier to figure out than this year's. So you see, this year's places were quite alien to me, at least. Commonwealth, Serangoon, Balestier, Sixth Ave, Upp Bukit TImah, Hill St and Stamford St area. How alien can it get, not places that we go to often enough (except Sixth Ave and Upp Bt Timah) hahahha. Surprise surpise, there is a temple and mosque hiding amongst all the big huge pretty bungalows and houses in Sixth Ave. Spent a very long time walking walking, admiring beautiful houses with pool at the second level. Sigh, we hate rich people. Hahahahah. Shall not go into much about the other areas cause it was so amusing yet annoying. HAHAHA. Went to Newton Circus but it was the wrong place so we decided to have our lunch there before continuing. You could tell that we were on the verge on giving up already, hahaha. With foong constantly telling us "Go back suntec, go back suntec!" (fyi, suntec is the meeting and ending point). I think we did okay, average, lol. At least we completed almost half of the 24 stops. Okay, i think it is almost impossible to complete all the 24 stops within like six hours? Unless you have private transport and you know the place inside out upside down. Quite a task, hah.
THE BEST PART AFTER THE RACE IS.........
WE HAVE LUCK, BUT NO FATE.
Sigh, if you get what i mean. It has been bothering me since i heard the news. Very *($)(#*$&*$@#)&^@#)@#. So the after-race story goes like this:
We headed back to suntec at 2.30pm sharp, handed in the booklet thingy, got out goodie bags (happy people already), got the certificate of completion and 4 lucky draw forms. So we sat together with the other Newtowners and started ransacking the goodie bags, as well as filling up the lucky draw form. Cause i had to collect my retainers at 3.30pm at my dental, i had to leave around 3 to be on time. So we dropped the forms into the box, not having the thoughts of winning at all. AT ALL. Then we left (the 3guys went to town and me, to dental).
At around 3.15pm, i got a message from Ian saying that i won the lucky draw. No, it isn't just any consolation prize or second prize or third prize, but the grand prize. So lucky, right? But but cause i wasn't there to collect the GRAND PRIZE SO IT WAS FORFEITED *#$Y()#*$&)#*$(@# GOD. AHHAHAHA. Totally, shocked. And best of all, the grand prize is a Pioneer (Blue Ray) Home Theatre System or something close to that. Can you imagine how huge that loss is!!! A THEATRE SYSTEM THAT COULD BE SOLD FOR THOUSAND/S!! Okay, after some time, i have accepted the fact already, and so have my team members. SIGH.
Speaking of retainers, the thingy on my teeth that cost me the home theatre system, they suck alright. Just imagine a plastic, made to cover your teeth perfectly. I can never eat with them, or even speak properly. TWO YEARS MAN, TWOOOO YEARSSSS WITH THIS PLASTIC THINGEYEYY. |
