My team had Me(Leader), Russell, Yaomin, Jeremy & Jerome, and Jiayi. I also had 2 friends over for service, so that gained me extra 2 points. And my team met up once during the week before event. So that earned me 2 points I think, cause i had 4 members present instead of 3. The other team leaders were Wesley, Ladylene and Mag.
So the final day came, Sunday the 22nd of July. We were asked to meet at commonwealth, 2 teams at commonwealth mrt, 2 teams at dover mrt. Then we waiting for the sms, that will mark the start of the event.
At 1 sharp, the message came in, with the first clue, which is to find the mission person around the exits of Buona Vista Mrt, walked around finally found Xiuzhen. Then, we were given another clue which is to find another clue which was under a map. We walked around and didnt find it, but then we noticed the other team found, so we kind of figured where it was. Oh and I forgot to mention, my team only Jiayi showed up for the event. So we were like a 2 man team against 4/5 of the other team. Was disappointed at first, but was filled with more competitiveness due to the lack of members. So yeah, continuing, our venue was at the Hilltop Plaza area, just beside MOE building, WHICH IS A HILL! It was blazing hot like mother nature was having a fever of 39 degrees. We had to keep running up and down that hill like nobody business. So the first clue led us to the top of the Hill, where Jiawei was. He gave us the first mission which was to find a W461 strip of paper around the playground. There were different ones, so had to find the correct ones. Then I TOTALLY FORGOT TO OBSERVE THE SURROUNDING! Felt like such a failed running man fan. :( ! The question was to name the colours of all 3 slides and the roof top! Obviously we failed, so we had another mission, which was to find a paper on a tree, and take a picture with the tree, and this time I GOT IT, I TOOK A PICTURE OF THE NAME OF THE TREE! Phew~ Obviously, the question was what was the name of the tree, and we got it right. Then he issued us the next mission, which was to get water in a plastic cup (given) from the waterwall, and I was like, the waterwall is here, but there is no water. Soon after to only notice the water was inside, deep inside, LOL. We were given only 3 minutes to get the water and go back up, obviously we failed. So the next mission, was to run back down to the entrance, near the roadside, while one of the member stays up, which is Jiayi, and i had to roll a dice 3 times, which then results in 3 different drinks being mixed together, then Jiayi is supposed to come down and guess it, we got it wrong the first time, so we both had to go back ALL THE WAY UP, and Jiayi went down instead, and I guessed, and we got it right this time round.
Another clue was given, which is to find another paper UNDER another tree, which we walked and walked and finally found it at the top and all the way to the back of the hill on a big tree. Then it said to head to the playground, which then we have to do a circuit of the playground stuff, so the other teams had 4/5 so they can do one each, while I only had 2, which we have to do multiple times, first was to spin around this spinning thing, tap Jiayi, which she had to climb the slide and slide down 5 times, and then back to me , I had to climb the ropes to touch the top and back down 5 times, and then shoot an empty can down with a rubber band. Then after which we had to go back to the top, and wait for the rest to finish and to start the finale. The finale was to create a structure that will your egg inside, and withstand attacks from other teams. So to every clue card we had, it was like A,B,C,D. So whichever alphabet you have on which respective colour card will determine what your items are for the structure creating. My team got duck tape, 15 satay sticks and a penknife. Our attacking item was SMALL paper ball, and our defense was TISSUE PAPER (SERIOUSLY). Others had awesome stuff like LARGE PAPER BALL AND A4 PAPER AND HALF A NEWSPAPER. So yeah, I destroyed 2 teams eggs, which then they all CAME TO MINE TO DESTROY IT ! boohoo! Which then resulted in the other team to win. But overall, Wesley came in first, due to their points earned by fellowship and WITH MY 2 MAN GROUP I ACTUALLY CAME IN SECOND, falling by 1 point only, WOOOO! I really think we did a good job! Thanks to Jiayi who came and saved my life from being a one man group. Hahaha!
This is my structure with the satay sticks
