For peeps who don really know the game, you start off with the name of a food given to you. Finish the dish, after which the name of ur 2nd dish has to start with the last alphabet of ur previous dish. For eg, "nasi lemaK, King Kong, Goreng Pisang, Gado GadO, Orange Juice etc etc"... (kidding abt king kong). You guys get it? =) You have to finish the food before you can move off!
For this competition, they will provide the name of the first dish. After ur 5th dish, we will have to run back to the foyer and get the location of the "road block". Sounds exciting rite!! After completing the road block can we know the last dish's name. And btw, we have to finish 10 dishes minumum. And each team will be followed by a marshall who will be doing all the buying of food items and checking everyone plays by the rules.
Super exciting!!!! (me and roy were thinking, how about we eat Scallops and lobster and some other exotic food...)
Our reporting time was at 3pm but we reached there at around 1.30pm to recce the area. Our competition was gonna be at 4pm, but there were about 18 teams (consisting of 2 ppl each) who were gonna play too at 2pm. Their first dish was MEE REBUS!! As soon as the name was revealed, everyone evacuated the foyer in like 5 secs. -_-"
ROAD BLOCK!! After 5 dishes, from the foyer in downtown east, you had to actually run/jog/sprint/walk/crawl (depending on your fitness) about 500m to Costa Sands Resort where there's this rock wall? One team member has to climb all the way up and touch the wall!
Since I was rather afraid of heights, we agreed that Roy would do it!
Anyways, the final dish was "Garlic Bread". After completing the road block, they gotta jog/walk/crawl (since you'll be damn shagged by now) 500m back to downtown east, and continue with the game!
Only when you have finished eating the last dish can you run back to the foyer and dong the gong!!!
The first 3 teams came back in less than an hour. -_-" sweet. donoe how they run and eat so fast. They were consolation prizes for every team behind the 3rd. 1st team would get $500 cash (BELIEVE IT!!!), 2nd, $300 and 3rd, $200!
We certainly had a great advantage knowing where the road block is now. Plus, we also know what the first and last dish are le!!! Believeing it might be like some tertiary institutions where past year papers' questions are repeated over and over again, we began to sit down and brainstorm how we would play OUR game at 4pm. =)
We're team 8!!!!
Hence...
SOON, the host was briefing us on the rules... As they were about to reveal the first dish, we were about to start running off to get MEE REBUS already... But ALAS!!! The organisers were no tertiary institutions' lecturers, we got it wrong!!! Holy Mackeral!!!
SANDWICH! First dish is a freaking SANDWICH!!!!
We dashed off to Cheers thinking they might have the triangular kind of sandwich in the fridge. I was the first to run in. From 10m away, I asked the auntie whether they have sandwich. BLOODY HELL NO!!!!! *pulls hair! PANIC!!!*
Subway! Subway sells sandwiches rite!!! I pulled Roy and the marshall back to Subway, which was just behind where the starting line was. Some of our hopes of finishing first were dashed when we saw there were already 3 or 4 grps munching on their sandwiches already. =( "Give me a sandwich, any sandwich!", I exclaimed to the counter. HAHA. I asked for as little ingredients as possible, then me and Roy started gobbling it up.
Next dish, we had to eat a food starting with a "H". We settled on Hamburger from Mac.
1) SandwicH
2) HamburgeR
3) Red bean SouP
4) PeanuT
5) Toasted BreaDD
We only asked for one tablespoon of red bean soup from the dessert stall in the foodcourt, 2 peanuts from Kway Chup Stall and 2 mouthfuls of the toasted bread. I even had to tell the auntie twice, "don't put the butter liao! don't need kaya le! Just toast the bread for 2 secs!". SO EXCITING! everyone was so rushing about!!!
We were relieved to discover we were the 3rd team to reach the road block. Luckily they never change the exam question for the road block. LOL. We were panting and puffing for oxygen, at the same time with the toasted bread still in our mouths man. HAHA!
Roy did a great job reaching the top, and soon we were jogging back thinking about our 6th dish. Last dish is "ICE CREAM".
We were in some trouble because we couldn't think how to connect them... we were stuck for a minute before deciding on
6) Dim Sum.
7) Mee Rebus,
8) ??
9) Nasi Briyani
10) ICE CREAM.
SIANZ! Cannot think how to link the S and the N!! cannot SoyabeaN, cos they don't have it. No, they also do not have SupermaN, or SpidermaN. We were stuck for one minute before Roy pointed to the board of a stall and exclaimed "Salted beaN!" Within 10 secs, we were munching on it already.
We raced back to foodcourt to have nasi briyani. I asked for "2 mouthfuls can already, Auntie!". She gave me half a bowl. I said, "too much!", but she proceeded to give me curry and I had to stop her. -_-. Lol! I asked her to take back some of the rice before I started to eat the rice. Roy was already off to buy Ice cream from Mac. (we were cheating abit here, cos we could only move on after finishing the current dish. but our marshall was flexible on this area....)
We met at the entrance of the food court where we finished off everything before racing back to the finishing line!
We were 3rd!!!! ^___^
And the fourth team arrived 10 secs behind us only... PHEW!!!
Roy and me congratulated ourselves profusely, we were so elated! HAHA! Roy told me later the fourth team was actually in front of him for ice cream!! PHEW phew! And also, guess what... he actually exclaimed "Salted beean!" out of nowhere - it wasn't written on the signboard. We were freaking lucky they actually sell it. HA!!
We gave our thanks to our marshall who helped us so much in many ways. He was also very fit, could actually keep up with us wherever we dashed to!
On top of the cash, we were also given membership cards, which would entitle us to the below:
SUPER SHIOK!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Now don't try to rob me. =P
We all had SO much SO much fun, we have so often talked about having adventures together. Haha. Thanks Roy!!!
Also thanks to my Mom who told me about this competition. =)
Definitely will be there again next year!!!!!!! Legs are aching from all the racing liao, going to sleep now!
This is what life should be about!!!!!!!
