Lessons as usual, usual boring stuffs, so no need for elaboration.

Last lesson was economics tutorial. Went to change and set off with yian and some girls from the class. Took the mrt, all of us came to an agreement to come in a circle around a pole and all of us holding it. The greatest and best usage of the mrt pole ever possible in history. Oh, speaking about that... must record.. in Guiness Book of Records.

We alighted at Dhoby Ghaut Station. Walked around, looking for places to eat. But it was difficult to find many seats available.. Pizza Hut has the long waiting time that we could not afford to spend, so we settled for Mos Burger in the end. So the 8 of us, me, yian, joey, jasmine, jacquelyn, chengmei, charmaine, pamelyn, went to order. I ate chicken burger meal. Then halfway through, I received a call from Josh, asking for our location. But too bad I did not have any coordinates to give him.

Anyways, it was then that I realised that place was Plaza Singapura, I had went there few weeks ago.. forgot on which occasion or which day.. no wonder the familiarity.

We then set off back to the station and travelled to Nicoll Highway Station before following the crowd to the F1 pit.

Then came the cross country.. the meal of Mos Burger proved too much for me to take.. I felt uneasy running after the meal, but thankfully, the feeling was not very strong and I could push on the run. The run was done for charity, a dollar for a kilometre. The distance is freestyle, min 3 for females, 4 for males, GENDER DISCRIMINATION!
After the run, everyone had the freewill to continue the run to clock more distances. All these, however, need to be done in 30 mins?

Yian by right shuldnt be running, but he says he feels ok, so he accompanied us for the run. So, Teck Chuan (tc), yian and I ran together initially during the Cross Country.

Someway through, we saw Mr. Wee (former Maths teacher) and Mr. Ong (Head of GP) running infront of us.
I turned to tc and said "If we overtake them, we can get A for our GP and Maths."
After a short while, Mr Wee actually spoke... "You all must really work hard to get that A for your Maths." (oops I think he heard me :X Its hard to control your volume when running I suppose...)

Then came the first turning point where (dy/dx) = 0.
Collected the rubber band, turned back and ran.

By the way, before we reached the turn, I already saw Matthew running back :X Pure imbalanced. (FYI: He finished second in the run for the ENTIRE cohort of J1 and J2 Boys.)

So we headed back to the finishing point, get the first chop on our hands and tc asked me to do 1 more km. I agreed and we went for it. Surprisingly, this 5km run seemed better than the one last year (where the distance we ran is LESS than 5km). This is weird.. the run this year seemed easier and better than last year.. I dont understand why.

After our second chop, we went to take a cup of plain water drink, before collecting H-TWO-O drink with our coupons. Yian and I then went for 3 cups of milo :D
Bing Hui (bh) was spared the run as he was dancing that day.

Then there was this part where questions were asked and prizes were to be given away. bh had sneakily seen the answer to 1 of the questions. He went up close to the front, in order to storm to the front to answer that question when it was being asked to receive the prize. When that question was really asked, things went haywire, it didnt go his way. Earlier on, he told Jacquelyn the answer already and thats it, he was beaten to it LOL. He said she betrayed him and called her a traitor.

Btw, the question was how high is the Singapore Flyer, measured in terms of giraffes.
31 giraffes was the answer.

In the end, due to "corruption", both of them got the prize.

Matthew, bh, yian and I then went to eat dinner at Popeye's.
We ordered a meal that costs 29.90 and its meant for 4 people, eh just nice!
We went home after that.

And that marks the end of the Cross Country 2011.
