The Originals IP Race 2011

Written at Monday, May 02, 2011 | back to top

an amazing race organised by HIP. with a group of 5 and we can form a team, and as usual the more outgoing person, Audery, Ginnette, Joshua, Moo and me took up the challenge.

we were supposed to meet 8.30am at Scape, but then i overslept and woke up at 8.20am. like total madness, blame myself for sleeping at 2am last night. i rushed myself and fly cab down to cab, wasted my $5 plus. hmpf!~ i hate to waste money on cab :(

the stations to complete

Team Feriae =D

the host for the day

and with those lots of introduction and so on, everyone started to gather outside, getting ready to set off once the organiser give the green light. well, for us.... our first station would be at Golden Village Grand. haha. how wonderful, to have a good kick start at my ex-working place :) GV GRAND ROCKS!

yar!~ everyone started flying and disappeared off from the starting point, chionging off to their respective first station. there's a few team who has the same first station as us. it's like, they are heading towards the same direction as us, waiting at the same bus stop, taking the same bus, running towards the same direction.

when we reached GV Grand, there's already a few teams ahead of us already. some team has even completed their quest when we were just climbing the escalator up to the place. lol. so fast sia, did they take cab, hmmm....

Golden Village Grand

-Food Pit Stop-

we started off with Twister game. the game master will name us some food and we have to guess correctly which country were those food origin from.

like huh?! some chimilogy one how? luckily we were allowed to use our phone and go online check. and those country name were pasted on the Twister map, we have to use our feet or hand to tap on those correct answer. such a tough job, obviously is meant for people with long hands and long legs. Audrey, no doubt, it's YOU! hahaha.

Challenge 1

i doubt my legs and hands can reach that. lol

the second challenge for the game was much more challenging, with jumble words and we have to guess the correct name, some we didn't even see before. but with the power of Internet, we overcame it. PASSED!~

Challenge 2

and up next, our second station would be at Golden Village VivoCity. lol. teleporting from one GV to another GV is it?! haha

we took a bus there, and once we alighted at the Vivo bus stop. we ran all the way there taking all the shortcut and cut our way through to the cinema. for a moment, i ran until i felt like puking. feeling so horrible.

-Entertainment Pit Stop-

this time round, we were given certain timing to see a movie poster. our task was to memorise everything we seen on the movie poster, every single tiny little details like the wording, the colour, etc.

once the time was up, we were given 5 questions and we have to base on our memory to answer those question. well, we have 5 brains, so it worked out pretty fast.

as for the Challenge 2, we were some clue to a particular movies, and we have to write down any one of the actors acting in it, the movie title or the song title. and well, with the help of powerful Internet. we completed the quest in no time :)

movie challenge.

heading over to our third station, Playnation at Prinsep. the journey was pretty accessible for us, taking MRT from HarbourFront to Dhoby Ghaut! haha. finally a time to rest our tired legs from all those running.

and then after alighted, run our way to the Playnation @ Prinsep, which i have no idea where? i just followed Audrey and ran together with her.

MRT eh!~

Play Nation @ Prinsep

-Sports Pit Stop-

the challenge here was to battle with the IP Pirate in a game of virtual boxing. it's so horribly tiring to keep moving your hand to move the controller... non-stop some more. and one KO was already so hard to score. imagine there's like 3 - 5 rounds just to get one KO.

at the end of the game, we got like four KO, which was like.... alot of time was wasted there, playing the same game over and over again. SO TIRED!!!

our score for this station

and up now, our fourth station... Singapore Art Museum @ 8Q. it was somewhere nearby, so we walked/ran over there. and as usual, there's 2 challenges in this stage.

Singapore Art Museum @ 8Q

-Work Pit Stop-

well, we were given 15 minutes to come up with a creative work entitled "Reflections of the Originals IP Race". we were given a piece of paper, a box of colour pencil, markers, pen, pencils, etc. like wow, here comes to our Art & Craft time. haha.

let's all bring out creativity-ness. drawing and colouring time!!! well, to express our best station, we only thought of the time playing WII, like just 20 minutes ago. lol.

our masterpiece of work

and as for the challenge 2, we were only given 15 minutes to walk around the museum to complete the crossword puzzle. we were walking up and down, in and out of the exhibits marked on the layout map, looking for answers. but we were unable to complete everything in 15 minutes.

yea, have no choice have to submit whatever we have completed. it's better than to exceed the 15 minutes time given as we will not be awarded with any point once the time was up =/

the incomplete crossword puzzle

go go, going to our fifth station, Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, Campus 1. a station to play with toy?! haha. it was a figurine that required team work to build it up using the shortest time. we plucked out those bit and pieces of the body parts, and started fixing them together.

-The Arts Pit Stop-

so hardworking fixing the figurine

ta-daa.. DONE!

and so. our sixth and final pit stop.. back to *SCAPE! chiong bus down and ran all the way back to the starting point. anyway, alot of teams were already back, but it's okay. we were not the last anyway :)

not a bad experience, running around Singapore. the good thing was, the pit stops were all located very near to each other. travel to so many places in 4 hours.

anyway, back to *SCAPE, there's lunch buffet provided for us. we were so hungry after all the running. and there's some performances before they started announcing the winner for this amazing race.
