HYPERDASH 2015!

Hyper Dash is an event similar to the amazing race but it is for every Polytechnic student in Singapore. Basically what we have to do is complete missions for each station and collect as many stamps as we can. Was really reluctant to come to this event actually because I am not the kind that would really go for such school events. However, my friend made me signed up and said it was really fun. She told me there were many freebies to collect as well.

We met at around 1045am at Lavender MRT station's kopitiam to have lunch before the race. It was not really lunch for me because I technically have yet to eat breakfast and it is still in the morning so all I bought was just a pork bun and mineral water. Obviously some people came late because apparently it was like 1120am and this person was still only at Serangoon MRT. After gathering everyone, we headed to the meeting location, the AXIS at Lavender road. We started the briefing around 12 and head out for the race at about 1230pm. At first I really still wasn't in the mood for the games yet so when everyone started running, I was only speed walking. But after the first few stations, we got so motivated so all of us started running at full speed to the next stations. Shaun was especially the fastest and the most enthusiastic guy, running around like a bull, he was that fast.

We had games like don't forget the lyrics, memory game, fear factor, charades, fill in the water while being blind folded, guessing lame jokes, buying 5 items under $4.20 at NTUC Fairprice and many more.

This was at one of our mission site. We are playing the fill in the water while someone is blind folded, so some of us have to wear plastic covers so as to not get us wet.

Overall all, the event was extremely exciting and we had so much fun. We collected more than 30 stamps and......

WE EMERGED CHAMPION AT THE END OF THE DAY!!!

They announced that we were the first and we literally from sitting down on the floor position, jumped up into the air and shout for joy. All our hard work paid off , all those running felt like I've burnt a thousand more calories. It just felt like i was running 2.4km but actually it was just a little while. I guess my stamina dropped a lot because it has been so long since I last ran.

We are the champion~

Our candid faces HAHAHA!

This is the reward we got for getting in first place. They told us it was worth up to $500 but I highly doubt so. Anyway, we got 12 Gold Class tickets at Golden Village and 12 Movenpick Chocolate ice-creams!! The feeling was so good at that moment and we were all so high at that point of time.

It was such a great day today, not only because we won, but because we did this as a class, as a team. We are bonded so well today that it was easy to complete the missions. I would never regret going for this event, but I would not want to go again because it is too tiring. I cannot handle the hot weather and sweaty body feeling too!

Glad to have made some new friends during this bonding session and saw some old friends back at the event too. Although the opportunity cost for going to this event is huge and I might regret it, it was still fun and today made me realize that I should not waste time on people who do not care about me. I should love myself more than I love others. If somebody does not know how to appreciate you, let them go. It is no use keeping them by your side because ultimately, they will never change. From today onwards, I will stop thinking about people who do not appreciate me and start loving the people that stayed by my side.
