Last day
Today, I had to wake up at 8.45a.m.for mentoring FOC amazing race trial.
I reached there promptly at 10a.m. as what was asked. The beginning was a little boring. My group was quite slacked. I liked the station which required us to sing our nation anthem and do a banana dance across the bridge. We scared off quite a number of people by our loud voices. There were few stations which required us to eat. There was one which required us to eat lemon. I am quite scared of sour food. The sight of lemon already made me feel so ‘sour’, let alone eating it.
However, under the persuasion of my partner, I decided to give it a try. It took me a lot of courage to have that bite, a small one. But, I jumped when I felt the sour taste. I jumped and jumped and spitted it out. Luckily, only my partner and the other mentor saw it. Then, I asked whether the station master could buy bitter curd just for my station. =p My partner said he was glad that it was not bitter curd. At our last station, we were supposed to squeeze out 3 drops of tears after eating wasabi. I was the first one to try out. My first comment was not spicy at all. After which, I heard some voices asking “did we buy the wrong one again?” Then, a mentor came and tried a bit. From her expression, I could see it was quite spicy for her. I let few others to try too. A mentor asked whether I was eating green tea ice-cream when I ate a spoonful of wasabi again. I swear that it was not spicy at all. Then, I told my partner to eat the lemon for me on that day and I help him with the wasabi. But, aren’t we supposed to squeeze out 3 drops of tears? So, how on earth am I going to help my group? I guess even if I finish up all the wasabi, no tears would even fall.
When I heard someone mentioning the time, I quickly took out my hand-phone. I thought “oh gosh, it is already 3.56p.m.” Then, I quickly informed Afiq about it. We were supposed to meet Jovin at 4pm at Orchard control station and we were still at explanate. Without any delay, I quickly called Jovin and rushed down with Afiq.
We went to watch a movie called “200 pounds beauty”. It was a comedy and quite a touching movie. I shed some tears near the end of the show.
After that, Afiq went to meet another group of friends for another show while Jovin and I walked around Orchard till about 9.15p.m.
