Treasure Hunt!

Today is a super packed day... Let's start at the beginning... I struggled reli hard to wake up at 7.30am today cos I'm supposed to meet Si Hao, Yi Yong and Chengyi together with my brother for breakfast at tm Mac... Well, I almost lost the struggle but somehow I managed to tell myself to get out of bed at 7.35am... Anyway my brother was complaining tat we'll be late but I was confident that we wont be last, lolx... In the end we were the second to reach lor! Shared a meal with my brother b4 leaving for City Hall... We reached there super early (9.10am I think) then got nothing to do, lolx... Chengyi gave us the instructions first so that we could read the first page... I waited for Kaiqi and then for Shuting's frens (Sheryl and Hsiaoqi) to arrive... Super familiar la her frenz... Turns out that they came to Agape before...

Anyway we started off by taking photo with the Christmas tree juz outside the Starbucks cos the more photos a group takes with Christmas trees, the more bonus points they have, lolx... Muz be one of Chengyi's clever ideas, hahaz... After that we decided to head down to the Esplanade to begin our search... There were mainly 4 different areas that we had to visit - Esplanade, Suntec, Marina Square and Funan... And we onli started off with the clues to the first part of the hunt, at abt 11.10am I literally dashed back to the Starbucks to get the clues for the second half la... Super tired after that... Along the way we reli took many photos with Christmas trees, lolx... First time in my life I so thick-skin ask so many strangers to take photo for us with the Christmas trees, hahaz... Got rejected a few times but after awhile you get used to it... It's juz like doing flag day, lolx... But this one got motivation, so it's not tat bad, cos there's something to look forward to at the end =)

Anyway, we were close to finishing the whole thing at abt 12 plus, where we stopped for lunch at the Funan KFC... I had to tar pow cos got worship prac at 1 then had to leave :( Well all gd things muz come to an end... Jason came down and sub me... I got a surprise when I reached Agape and saw Chengyi and Li Juan there... So tat's the ending point! The way they set the clue abit hard to get it la, lolx... In the end I was told tat he had to call every gp and give them additional info...

As for worship, initially it was onli Enz and me playing and I realli tried my very best to fill in wadever I could fill in... Then Simon said that Jing Ping could make it somehow but would be late, so thank God la, at least got 3-piece band... Drum and Keyboard onli I super stressed leh... Somehow the 3 of us did it and we even managed to finish way before time, which is super rare, lolx...

I went down and was surprised tat the youth were still there... I rejoined my gp while listening to Chengyi reading out the various answers... Soon it was time to reveal the gp positions... At first I was hopeful tat we would make it to the top 3 at least... (there were 5 gps altogether) When the last 2 gps were announced and it was not us, I got a little more ambitious... Probably 2nd? And maybe, juz maybe we'll be first? When we got down to the top 2 gps my hopes started to get up and I actually believed that we'll be the champions... And guess wad, WE WON!!! =) Was abit stunned but happy nonetheless cos it was worth all the effort and sweat and brain cells we killed trying to figure out all sorts of funny things, lolx... N we won not becos we got more qns rite but cos we had more christmas tree photos taken, lolx... During the hunt it became quite routine for the gals to point out christmas trees while I tried to find someone to take the photo for us... Anyway our "grand prize" was a $60 Popular voucher and lots of Potato Chips... Kaiqi kindly gave up his share of the voucher so we got $15 each =) Haha can finally buy books from Popular again, lolx... It was reli tiring but I enjoyed every single bit of it =)

After tat went down to Expo with my brother to meet my Dad to go see the Metro Sales... Bought a new bag although it wasnt reli tat nice... I think it was becos of the discounted price la, hahaz... After tat went back home to bathe and get ready to attend Donne's 21st bday party... Muz say that he's reli a relaxed kinda guy... Juz wear casual then mingle with frenz... He seems so happy too! Anyway the best part was when after Jasper prayed for him the guys literally pushed him into the river and he went in with a resounding "SPLASH"!! He was still cool abt it after tat, hahaz... That's Donne for u =) Thanks Donne once again for ur invitation... It was reli enjoyable! =)
