II. AMAZING RACE 1 !!

It was raining tempestuously out there but it just failed to switch our spirit off from having the Amazing Race 1 today!!

Alright, the race is amazing by the way. But as we should respect the copyright of the original authenticity of the amazing race, the committee edited the race slightly, i.e. our feet don't run... our minds run.

That's about it, as for me and myself, Alexandra, Hao Fang and Reo Sei took each of the four stations of tasks fulfilment, and for the other committee members, Shi Hao as the full-time photographer, May Teng, Li Yin and Lynn Sim for the best awarded and most diligent runners and for Jan Jhin the 'quarantine master', the Amazing Race 1 was simply a defined success of the day.

Both mind trickling and interesting, the tasks have been very carefully planned. As FYI, the 9 of us had our first online conference via MSN last night at the eleventh hour (and we came to consensus that it's just too hard to discuss without verbal means)

We had four tasks (like I said), four stations, four groups.
As for task 1 participants will have to make a 'paper portal' with (obviously) paper (recycled A4) and a ruler for tearing the paper, and maybe a pen for better line judgment. Another necessary material would be a few adventurous Homo sapiens who could fit in that portal and exit the other side.

Then task 2 had Alexandra smiled the whole afternoon. Un-scientifically interesting, (Voon Beeng had it done perfectly as easy as a piece of cake) the players would actually need to bind raffia strings to a pencil, each teammate holding one end of each strings and eventually throw the pencil into a 1.5L mineral water bottle with perfect coordination and teamwork without crossing over the restrictions.

In task 3 everyone failed but at least Dickson managed to grasp the idea at final moment. Hao Fang was brilliant for he's the only one who knows that the Earth is actually round (round or elliptical?)

Task 4 was SIMPLEif you've already learned. Ridiculously with one simple assumption someone has to prove that 'one is actually equal to two' (1=2) ?!

The committee members were glad of everyone's committed enthusiasm, and we once again have proven we are ever more than capable. Enjoy the photos! =D

Scientific failure: a destroyed portal.

Alex: the line's crooked...

Task 4: Prove 1=2 ?!

Task 3: Hao Fang said the Earth is round at the seventh minute.

Task 2: Something to do with science or maths?

Task 1: A4 is certainly a wrong decision.

We all got the wrong message since we were kids.

You girls looked cramped.

Reo Sei and Pn Chan =D

Voon Beeng thinks he's smart. But actually is he?

A tiring post-review.

Pei Wen: Bao Yun... is something nauseous?

Time to repent.

This ain't exam, RELAX.

Don't ask me.

Two is better than one.

Dickson seemed ambiguous.

Doubtful.

And that's about the end of our first Amazing Race. The committee will put more mountainous effort in organizing better and very much more exciting programs in the future. Lastly a load of gratitude to our dedicated teacher adviser, Pn Chan, the school (lab authorities) and most of all, each and everyone of you, GRACIAS!
