Damn Cross-country race

Sigh. I dunno how to begin.

Got cross-country race held in school loh. Although it's more like walk-along-the-neighborhood-then-to-outside-botanical-garden-go-to-Bukit-Bendera-and-hike-up-to-station-46-then-hike-back-to-entrance-then-go-back-to-school kind of a race.

Can you actually believe that Bukit Bendera is SO STEEP???? Like, it's bad enough that we have to hike all the way up to the half part of the hill. Mountain. Whatever. Every once in a while, I have to rest at one side with my mates n we're like, when is this hiking gonna end??? Even the teachers participate the race, like our old Sivik teacher n BM teacher. I think it's quite weird for the fact that we actually get to see the teachers wearing...so...NORMAL!!!!!!! Just when I'm hiking up the hill, mountain or whatever, me n my mates saw our BM teacher jogging down the hill, wearing a headband, T-shirt, sport shoes, n shorts. Her face was all flushed n sweaty.

I was supposed to jog n tag along with Denise, Christina and Chia Ming, but when we hike up the hill, mountain or whatever, we hike up to our separate ways. I met a few of my mates along the way, though. I kept encouraging me fwenz to hike, hike, hike, like "if old ladies can do it, y can't we???" n "don't give up, keep hiking!!!" n stuff like that.

Oh yeah. Along the way, we also get to receive wristbands, altogether 3 in blue, yellow n orange. Not exactly the colors I was expecting, but still. The yellow one we received at the starting line, the blue one we got at the entrance to the hill, mountain or whatever, and the orange one we got at station 46. Kewl. Those who climbed up the hill get a sijil.

Apparently, when hiking up a hill, mountain or whatever, you can't call out someone's name, otherwise he or she will... DISAPPEAR! Pretty random, but still.

Also, we get coupons for free ice cream (chocolate or vanilla) n a bottle of water. They were also selling random stuff like books about the buddha n stuff, n Peel Fresh n Vitagen drinks.

Gotta go now, I hear that Mother Sugar is calling me now... (Chocolate, here I come!)
