Amazing Race

Hello, it`s been a long time since I updated the blog. Well, this is an update on the amazing race we went through on June 30th. On the right, as you can see, is the badges we recieved in the beginning of the race. I`ve got to admit, we got really confident at the beginning as we went to the race totally prepared, with a bus directory, a street directory, and even a camera. But when we started out, it was quite a pain. First of all, we realized we were going to Raffles Place as our first stop, and most of us were unfamilier with the first stop, which was a temple called Yuan Hai Ching Temple.
Then, we realized our JJC counterpart, Yuen Shen (I think that is how his name is spelled) didn`t have his EZ link card. Quite a horrid start to our day. But, in the end, we came out okay. Out of some thirty something teams, we came out 11th. Not too bad I would say, though a little disappointing as we missed out of the top ten. Here is a list of the stops we went to throughout the race: Yuan Hai Ching Temple, Sri Mariammam Temple, Thian Hock Seng Temple, Ann Siang Hillpark, Armenian Church, Malay Heritage Board. Along the way, we learned a lot about these religious places. From the spiral joss sticks of the Yuan Hai Ching Temple to the Arabic writing that we learned of in the Malay heritage board.
