Fall asleep at this longlonglong post.

Still haven't handed in the option form yet. Jacklyn and I can't decide whether to put triple science or PhysicsChem for first option. Oh, and we checked with Mr Lau (Mrs Cha wasn't free to entertain us) to find out the level average for science and we're higher! Yay! So we probably can get the combination we want, only we don't know if we can cope with triple. Haha but Jacklyn worked out some thoeries on how the teachers would think so maybe we kinda sorted it out.
This is a rather long post on our adventure today:
Sylvs and I got lost. We were supposed to be training for Great Eastern Run (the 5km one, not the 10km, woah.). This was our route, led by Mrs Lee (Her little son is so cute! But he's very shy ;D): Running from school, past Raffles Town Club, into the small small lanes where everywhere is practically concrete. Like through Merryn Drive and Trevose Place where there's all the huge expensive houses. We came out from Kheam Hock Road and crossed the road, continuing on to the lane just before Serene Centre.

Yeah we had to run to the Botanical Gardens and supposed to use the back gate.

You know what? We didn't stop! That's like amazing or what. Hmmm around 3.6km? Ha we aren't the naturally sport-sy kinda people, so not bad for a choir member eh?
But only then when we had to run uphill, and when the surroundings were all trees and forests and the tarzen-like terrain, THEN we started running slowly and let the other people who hadn't given up yet, run past us.

And then we started walking.
And we lost them.
And that place was creepy coz there were only one or two cars that went past every ten minutes, and everywhere was just the green.
AND then, we met a cross-junction, so we just stopped; we couldn't even see the other people!
Luckily, a police car with 4 policemen inside came by at that moment, and we "flagged" with our hands to ask for directions, and they were very helpful. Haha.

And we walked. And we jogged. And we walked. And we jogged, when finally we reached the back gate of Botanical Gardens. We were so happy we cheered. Unbelievable ;F

But guess what. We got lost in Botanical Gardens and decided to take one of the free "take me!" maps. How pathetic and loser is that?! HAHA, supposed to be training for a marathon but got lost in Botanical Gardens, carrying a map! Woah. Anyway we just walked around and around being silly like asking every single person we meet if they'd "seen a group of students wearing the same uniform as us, running by."
Oh but we had no means of transport (not counting walking/running), no means of communication (we couldn't bring handphones), no forms of money or food or water.
Well we lived. Trusted our instincts frantically! And found the front gate.
But. We got lost again when we exited by the front gate. The roads at the cross-junction were Nassim Road, Cluny Road and Dalvey Road. Dalvey leads out to the road near school but that part of Dalvey was the deepest part. No more walking far for us anymore.
So we decided to cross the road and walk towards the place that looked right. And it was, it lead to Evans Road and we walked all the way back to school from there, to find the teachers standing there, waiting for us.

Haha, they said they were about to drive out and find us! Oh my.
I think we did 10km instead of 5km! Only cheated.
But it was fun all the same. I bet we'll never get to do that again. ;D
