-Journey-
We started off at 9am from Army Museum. Took bus to Boon Lay MRT and arrived at Harbourfront station. Rushed up to the tip of Mt Faber and received our task sheet. We were team 3 to reach. Disappointing.

Goodness. Changi Chapel and Museum next. I've never been there before in my life. Cab-ed there! It was very peaceful there as it served as a remembrance of the heartland soldiers who defended Changi from the Japanese during WWII. And you know what happened to them. The tasks were straightforward and we were team 1 to reach and finish. Stunning. Clue to our next stop was found in the poem, "Changi We Remember You". They bold out the alphabets for CHINATOWN Buddhist Tooth Relic Temple.

Team 1 to reach again! yay !Cab-ed again! But the station master skipped the road block and tasks and told us the next checkpoint. Bukit Timah Hill. You know what's coming, huh. We settled down in Macdonalds' and had lunch. There's a $5 per head claim possible for meals. $10 per head for transport.

Swiftly we marched to Dover MRT station and had a real tough time catching an available cab. Almost all cabs were hired or busy until we got 1 20mins later. It was fairly short travelling time to the foot of the hill. Still team 1 reaching this 4th and checkpoint. DETOUR ! We decided to do the straightforward quest of ascending the hill for a simple task of taking photo with the welcome rock.

To the final pit stop! We hurried to catch a bus to bukit batok interchange and boarded the train to Yio Chu Kang and cabbed to Amoy Quee Camp ! We reach there 2nd. In the race itself we team 15 were 3 pts behind team 7. Our Total Defence edged theirs by 1 pt so the crucial 2 pts difference would be fought for in the concluding presentation during dinner. Our presentation beat them by 5pts and so we pipped the other team by 3 pts ! WOooahHH!
