TLBS

Yay!! we finally conquered the 60 storeys of republic plaza at raffles place!! i am so proud of TLBS. Only 3 trainings last week and we did it!! Although we didn't manage to get the top 10 position, i am still very proud of all of us. Went there at around 1400 and started studying!! hahah.. making full use of our time there. Registration started at around 1530 and we had to wait until 1728 before we are dispatched from the waiting area. In front of us was the CJC ODACers who sent 5 teams to participate in this competition. They had lots of supporters and we were like overwhelmed by their cheers and shouts. Luckily, the saints registered together except for canoe who went first. Behind us was SA track followed by SAINTS SPORTS CLUB!! we did a group cheer before starting our race. The road up was simply dreadful; endless steps with little or no air ventilation and the path was somewhat slippery. There were inspirational signs and quotations along the way to encourage us to press on until the top. There were signs like," you are halfway there, push on", "2 more storeys to water break" and not forgetting "toilets available in 3 storeys more". I forgot about the quotations pasted at the sides of the walls already which motivated me to push on. I nearly gave up at the 32 storey but there was no way i could go down and the only way was up!! so had to press on and finally saw a CJ ODAC girl who was from the team in front of us and that gave me motivation to overtake her and achieve a better timing for the team. Once i reached the top, i nearly fainted but luckily there was air ventilation there. GREAT JOB TLBS for completing the challenge and getting the goodie bag. Hahahah.. i was so confident we could complete that i never bring an extra shirt to change and i was depending on the shirt that we could get if we complete the race. After which we took group pics and then went for dinner at city hall. So lucky to see fireworks on our way home!! Okay!! have to go and do my hw before going to sleep already. Very tired!! goodnight people!!
