SMU Volar! 2008

Kenna teepu race...Went there expecting an adventure race but ended up doing an amazing race. The difference, we took transport and had NO road marshalls or signages! We got lost so many times. $60 bucks rege fees went into cable car and entry fee to Sentosa.

0630-Meet up at City Hall MRT
0640-Walked to SMU Informatics System building to register
0730-Flag off
After that, we were running all the way to National Stadium. Went through Padang, City Hall MRT, Marina and then Kallang. Next clue got us stumped, cos there was a mistake. Still, we confirmed with a street directory before heading to bus to Queensway. Hollan there "-_-
Did a 40storey vertical marathon there before procceding to the swimming complex to dive 2.5m. Couldnt make it, Kai Lan did the dive for me. Thks bro!
Again, we bused to Mt. Faber, kena teepu by an uncle, alighted too late! Went round the wrong side of the mt. and ended up taking a lot more time. Capt cycled up the slope while the rest of us walked.
Finally cable car-ed to Sentosa where we went around to the Carlsberg Tower, Southernmost point of S'pore and then to the end point at Tanjong Beach. Mmmy and Papa suddenly came running with the camera towards us. Thks for coming Mummy and Papa, esp Papa who had to rush off for his date! By them it was 2pm I think. Didnt check.
Sorry if we made you guys worry, we lived up to our name; Republic Fruit Basket!
