By then, it was raining very heavily.
My place was a good 20min bus ride from the MRT,
so we decided to take a cab there in the end.
We waited and waited,
then something interesting happened.
A malay boy came out of nowhere,
and started to walked in front of us,
braving the rain, to hail a cab.
We thought that he needed the cab more,
hence we did not stop him.
To our surprise,
he got the cab and directed it to us!
He was actually waiting for the bus,
and never intended to take a cab after all.
So in we board the cab,
thanking him profusedly.
Our first pitstop is Kreta Ayer CC.
I didn't managed to take any photos,
as I already have problems completing the challenge.
Luckily my game master is a nice man,
who kept whispering the answers to me. :D
Then our next clue.
CS immediately knew where to go,
so off we went to MINT, the toy musuem.
The next challenge was easier,
solving a jigsaw puzzle.
I finished the challenge rather quickly,
and spent some time admiring the interesting exhibits.
Our 3rd clue - the deadly clue.
We both thought it was referring to Mount Faber,
so we took a cab all the way to the top of it.
But we couldn't find anything,
or rather, anyone.
We see no contestents there,
nor any sight of the organisers.
We asked around, was given wrong information,
asked around again, ran here and there.
I think we covered almost the entire Mt Faber,
before finally have an idea of how to go to
Telok Blangah Green.
On our way to Telok Blangah Green,
through Henderson Waves.
We were really tired then,
CS didn't even have the mood to take out his camera and take photos of a place
he kept wanting to visit and do photography.
Okay, from then, no more photos.
And so the story goes,
we finally reach the pitstop,
and like a bad drama,
the game master smile apologetically to us and say,
" Sorry, but you're the last team to arrive."
Fine, they didn't exactly say that.
They told us that all prizes were taken,
and many did not complete the race because of the rain.
So we took some pictures to prove that we were THERE,
and then took the tree top walk to go down to the main road.
Another long journey down....
And then finally, a glimpse of civilisation!
Then we took a cab to Plaza Singapura for dinner, afterwhich we went on to walk down Orchard Road for some photo-taking. :)
We were really bustling with energy huh?
This year's Orchard Road is beautiful.
Reminds us of Christmas in Bangkok. :)
There were a lot of festive singing and performance.
Oh, and I took the above picture,
stopping in the middle of the road while crossing it.
I love Christmas :)
Can't wait for my Christmas surprise.
