SeEking my Polaris

Went for Singtel Streetfestival 3loGy competition held outside Mandarin Hotel. Its something similar to ‘Amazing Race’ but of cos of a smaller scale..


Daniel Ong & Jaime Yeo was the host for the day for Singtel. Jaime was trying to pose for my camera phone, so pro~ ;p


we were expected to complete 3 tasks @ 3 checkpoints along orchard road [ the fun part was that we hv to guessed the checkpoints based on the video clips inside the Motorola 3G phone, each team was given one for the game…] I entered the heats w angel and only 1 team will be qualified for the finals for that slot.


G n FK formed another team. Initially we wanted to exchange clues but it ended up that our video clips clue were all different!


Our first checkpoint was at Indochine outside Wisma.. can you imagine I ran all the way from Cineleisure to there? I almost died! So I asked Angel to run along first [he did all the leg work!] and I will catch up using my superb brisk walk techniques, not trailing to those of Olympics caliber ;p


along the way.. I saw my IDOL host, Jeff Wang! I think he is fliming for some tv prog. decided not to distract him, and i ran along...


And I managed to catch some breath outside checkpoint 2, which is back to cineleisure ‘Cheers’ store. The clue was ‘Movies 24-7’ I dun even hv to open the video clips to know where to run to. [ya, act smart la]… and the game master asked us to download a song from our 3G phone.. darn, that took us like 10 mins cos the internet connection was like facing some cyber road block or something. I saw time ticking away and I tried to act cute with him, I pleaded ‘you just tell me the title I will sing for you laaaa’ then I realized not every guy buy this kind of nonsense or maybe I make-up must hv melted by then. He shot me a look and say’ no thanks, there’s another team who sang me ‘marikita’ and I wished I dun hv to listen to them sing’.. duhz~ I ended up taking silly photos of myself while he continues with the task of wasting our precious time.

The 3rd checkpoint was fun, I recognized the DKNY café canopies from the video clip immediately! We ran across the street and found the game master. This guy is nicer and he helped us download a movie from his HP set cos ours is really problematic. I chose the movie trailer for ‘Starwars Episode III’ [what else?? Cos we need to ask a passerby to tell us the movie title that we hv downloaded] I grabbed a young couple and asked them for 5 mins, luckily I wasn’t rejected ;) as expected, without a hitch, the guy got the answer correct almost immediately.


I called back to report to my game marshal, and she asked us to hurry back to strike the Gong. Oh, did I tell you there was a cameraman following us while we ran back to strike the ‘GonG’? ya, its exactly like ‘十字路口’… so was quite fun lor. Then everyOne came round to congratulate us, we came in first!!!! Haaa… the Redbull gals parading around immediately passed us their chilled drinks. Very nice!


The rest of the groups came back one by one and FK team was 4th. The singtel ppl took a silly picture of us to allow the public to vote of the finalist to see who would come out tops, the photos will be placed in the booth along orchard road. After all the excitement.. we realized to our utter disappointment that the finals will be held on the 12th. We wont be in SG due to our Church Camp!!! Boo hoo hoo….. the drama ended. We took our goodies bag [4 free movie passes, plus 2 PC online game set] n informed the organizers of the walkover. So the 2nd team will qualify and they came round to say their thanks to us. Ok la… a couple of young boys, maybe they stand a better chance of winning in the finals [but I doubt they hv my wits though, muahahha~]
