After myth of the Subaru WRX Challenge

yesh! i'm back home now, at the comfort of my cosy room and away from the agony of the long-hours of standing and walking around :x

just when i was thinking (before the event), if more than a 1000 ppl wanted to take part in this contest, probably the competition ain't as tough as wad i thought of. seriously that mentality was very wrong! with more than 1000 ppl trying to ballot for their chance to get into the contesting arena, yet only 320 participants are "lucky" enuff to be given the chance to stand under the sun and rain for 3 consecutive days, u might jus wanna shout out to them 'SIAO EH!'

it's really tough to imagine hw's the situation like unless u are inside this whole thing urself, lest i've been thru 1/2 of wad they've been going thru nw. on seeing them having to stand infront of the Ngee Ann Civic Plaza for hours, with min. water and practically no rest (unless u capable of sleeping while standing and have no tendency of lifting ur hand up) and the endurance of undesirable physical and emotional distress, we've really gotta salute to them siah. thou, i'm not there at the scene thru out the entire process but i've been there myself for 23hrs being a marshall, and i can share with all, that merely by standing and walking around the arena for the whole day, my poor limbs are aching and giving way le =( so imagine urself standing and doing nutthin much, with ur whole body station within a constraint spot, how boring and helpless can u be? u'll start imagining and let ur mind runs wild, not kidding, i've heard some talking nonsense among themselves.

i can't think of much ways to help the contenders apart from talking and crapping lots with them, and spraying more water on their faces; necks and limbs, to prevent them from dehydration. i've encountered some contenders who really hope to stay on longer but their physical simply couldn't hold out anymore, and from their expressions i could tell how much they hope to stay on, how devastating it is to part the area and their other fellow contenders. of the happier happenings, i'd made some frenz in this contest, more from the contenders aspect to the marshalls, esp from Car no.4! a bunch of cute ppl... and friendly to get along too, in particular the 2 muslim 'arbang', they were really funny and cute and thankfully they're still in the competition (hopefully, they're still hanging on now). apart from the 2 'abang', there's one pretty good-looking guy from the same car, but he's rather shy and quiet, so we din really chat much, except that his frenz from the spectators kept disturbing us (the marshalls) -.-"

i truly hope the guys can stay on til tuesday, thou i noe somehow they probably won't be the ultimate winner, but still pray hard for them and all the best! rem the 'never say die' spirit.

the 2 'abangs' and the shy-looking cute guy

ps: it's a competition for the insane!

Special thanks to Daddy & Mummy. Love u folks always!
