Previously on The Amazing Race,

6 teams of 2 set out from Dubai, United Arab Emirates and travelled 4800km to Amsterdam, the Netherlands. At the Martinitoren, Siying used her concentration to propel her team to the front. Meanwhile, Lisa and Sam struggled for hours counting bells in the noisy bell tower. At the detour, Jenyun's wish came through as she consecutively struck all the golf balls in, allowing them to check in first. Sam began to get frustrated and the problem worsen after Yuyan & Lisa completed the roadblock and opted to bear the penalty. In the end, all other teams were saved by that penalty, causing Jack & Sam to be the seventh team to be eliminated from The Amazing Race.

6 teams remain, who will be eliminated next?





Leg 8 - Full speed ahead! (Kahhwee)

Priscilla & Jenyun, who were the first to arrive at 9.33am, will depart at 9.33pm.

Priscilla: *rips open clue* Fly to Stockholm, Sweden!
Yixuan (voice-over): Teams must now fly to Stockholm, Sweden. Once there, travel by train and ferry to Tivoli Grona Land Amusement Park and find the ride also known as the Fritt Fall.
Jenyun: I always wanted to go to Sweden! How exciting!

*all 5 teams are on the same flight to Stockholm*

*at Stockholm*

Waisin: Quick, the train's this way!

Kahhwee: We are the first ones out so let's keep it this way.

Priscilla: Good, that will give us some breathing space.

Timothy: Siying, stop treating me like a stranger. It's been 2 legs already.
Siying: So? I want to break up.
Timothy: Now?
Siying: Then? Next millenium?


Waisin: Look, Timothy & Siying are in an argument.
Kahhwee: Looks like we are going be first again this leg.

*on the 2nd train*

Yuyan: We are in the same train as Rachel & Baowen only.
Lisa: We are fighting to survive again?

Rachel: We are going to beat Yuyan & Lisa.
Baowen: Yea!

*at ferry terminal*

*1st ferry to Tivoli Grona Land Amusement Park - Waisin & Kahhwee, Priscilla & Jenyun*

*1st team to arrive at Fritt Fall - Waisin & Kahhwee*

*2nd team to arrive at Fritt Fall - Priscilla & Jenyun*

Waisin: *rips open clue* You must ride the Fritt Fall. Oh my god.
Yixuan (voice-over): One team member must ride the Fritt Fall. While riding, that team member have to spot an arrow pointing to the location of their next clue, which is only visible for only 15 seconds before they are plunged 24 stories in less than 3 seconds. Then, they have to find the clue in the park.
Kahhwee: No way am I riding that.
Waisin: Alright, I will do it.

Jenyun: I want to ride it!
Priscilla: Thank goodness, I might die of a heart attack from that.

Jenyun: Let's work together!
Waisin: Alright.

*Waisin, Jenyun 1st attempt*

Jenyun: Ah! I see it over there!
Waisin: You are great!

*1st team to complete ring toss - Priscilla & Jenyun*

Yixuan (voice-over): A detour is a choice between two tasks, each with it's own pros and cons. In this detour, teams will revisit the historic past of Sweden. The choice, Nobel Dynamite or Viking Alphabet.

In Nobel Dynamite, teams have to create sandbags to create a protective bunker in a rock quarry. Once they are protected, they have to set off an enormous explosion, made possible by the Swedish inventor of dynamite, Alfred Nobel, which would unearth a box with their next clue.

In Viking Alphabet, teams have to decode a message using ancient Viking runes. Once they solved their puzzle, they would receive their next clue.
Jenyun: I think we should do the dynamite. Solving the message might take more time.
Priscilla: Alright, let's go!

*2nd team to complete ring toss - Waisin & Kahhwee*

Yixuan (voice-over): In this roadblock, one team member have to participate in an Amazing Race Switchback by performing one of the most unforgettable Roadblocks in race history. In TAR 6, Lena & Kristy unrolled more than 100 hay bales over nearly 10 hours but are still unable to find a clue, causing them to be eliminated. Now, that team member have to face the same challenge to find one of only seven race flags hidden among 186 hay bales. Once teams find the flag, they will make their way down the path to the Pit Stop. This infamous roadblock site is the eighth Pit Stop in the race around the world. The last team to check in may be eliminated.

Previously on the Amazing Race, 7 teams of 2 set out from Dubai and raced across the older segment of the town. Pohchoon and Sam got stuck at the roadblock and found themselves falling behind many teams. Good work between Yuyan & Lisa propelled them ahead of the pack until they are faced with the dreadful Leap of Faith. Dating couples Waisin & Kahhwee used their fear to their advantage and started thrash-talking them. In the end, their strategy worked and they came in first for the second time. Meanwhile, Zhenyang & Pohchoon faced more trouble deciding which detour to complete. Sam's calculative mind saved their team as they sped through the mathematical detour and claiming third place. Siying's inability to complete the leap caused many teams to overtake them, resulting in Timothy flaring up. As teams checked in, it came down to a footrace between the buddies and the fairygodmother and child to the pitstop. In the end, Priscilla & Jenyun managed to edge out Zhenyang & Pohchoon, sealing their fate as the sixth team eliminated from The Amazing Race, 6 teams remain, who will be eliminated next?



Leg 7 - Try, for a million dollars (Siying)

Waisin & Kahhwee, who were the first to arrive, will depart at 1.13pm.

Kahhwee: *rips open clue* Fly to Amsterdam!
Yixuan (voice-over): Teams must now fly to Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Once there, teams have to drive themselves to Afsluitdijk, a 19-mile causeway that connects North Holland and Friesland, and find the Lely Monument for their next clue.
Waisin: Yeah baby, let's go!

*confessionals*

Kahhwee: Coming in first against cemented the fact that Waisin and I are indeed the best performers amongst the remaining teams.
Waisin: And we are going to keep it that way. No one will beat us!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yuyan: *rips open clue* Fly to Amsterdam!
Lisa: Ooh! It's gonna be cold!
Yuyan: Let's go to the airport!

*at airport*

Waisin: Hello, we would like 2 tickets to Amsterdam!
ticket-agent: The earliest flight departs at 12.05am.
Kahhwee: That means all of us will be tied again.

Waisin: Crap. We'll take it.

Yixuan (voice-over): All 6 teams are now on the same flight headed towards Amsterdam.

*at Amsterdam*

Timothy: Siying, quick! The cars are over there!
Siying: I know la.

*confessionals*

Siying: At the end of the last leg, Timothy showed me a side of him I never knew. Somehow, it has triggered me to reconsider if he is actually the one for me.

Waisin: I see the cars! We are driving Mercedes. Oh my god!
Kahhwee: Great! I can drive one of those!

Rachel: Ah bao! We have to find the cars!
Baowen: Let's work together with Priscilla & Jenyun there!

Priscilla: We should work together with the all female teams. That way, we can bring the female teams to the end!
Jenyun: I like the idea!

Sam: Bro! It's this way!
Jack: Oh right. Let's run!

Yuyan: Why are we last again?
Lisa: BOOBOO! I DON'T KNOW!

*at the cars*

*all 5 cars drove off*

Yuyan: HOW DO I START THE CAR?
LISA: BOOBOO! I DON'T KNOW!

*on the highway*

Jenyun: I see Rachel & Baowen ahead. Let's overtake them!

Priscilla: Okay! But I'm driving at an absolutely safe speed.

Timothy: Have you found where we are headed towards?
Siying: I am trying. This is so confusing!

Jack: I sure hope we dont get out this leg. Navigating is so not our forte.
Sam: Let's just pray for the best.

*at Lely Monument*

*2 cars pulled into the parking lot*

*1st team to reach Lely Monument - Waisin & Kahhwee*

*2nd team to reach Lely Monument - Priscilla & Jenyun*

Waisin: *rips open clue* Drive to the city of Groningen...
Jenyun: *rips open clue* and find Martinitoren...
Yixuan (voice-over): Teams must now drive themselves to the city of Groningen and find Martinitoren, the highest building in the city.

*3rd team to reach Lely Monument - Rachel & Baowen*

Baowen: Groningen? What a stupid name for a city!
Rachel: Let's just get out of here.

*4th team to reach Lely Monument - Timothy & Siying*

Timothy: We are finally here.
Siying: Drive to Groningen. I saw that on the map!
Timothy: Good job! Let's go!

*confessionals*

Timothy: I realised I have been a jerk towards Siying at the Leap of Faith and I can feel that her attitude towards me have changed a little. I just hope I can make things up to her in this leg.


*5th team to reach Lely Monument - Jack & Sam*

*last team to reach Lely Monument - Yuyan & Lisa*

Jack: Let's get out of here!
Sam: I hope it's a mathematical task ahead again. That way we can surge ahead!

Yuyan: It's the last clue!
Lisa: Booboo! We can still catch up to Jack & Sam!

*at Martinitoren*

*1st team to arrive at Martinitoren - Waisin & Kahhwee*

Waisin: *rips open clue* Roadblock.
Yixuan (voice-over): A roadblock is a task where only one person may perform and no member can perform more than 6 roadblocks in the entire race. In this roadblock, one team member have to navigate up the narrow, winding staircases and through the maze of doors inside the tower's two floor while counting the bells that make up the city's famed carillon. Once they came up with the correct number, 62, the carillon player would hand them their next clue.
Kahhwee: I think I will do this one.

*2nd team to arrive at Martinitoren - Priscilla & Jenyun*

Jenyun: Counting bells? I will go crazy with all the noise!
Priscilla: I will do it then.

Jenyun: JIAYOU JIAYOU!

*3rd team to arrive at Martinitoren - Rachel & Baowen*

Baowen: I will do it. I won't be affected by the bells too much if i take out my hearing aid.
Rachel: Are you sure you want to do this?
Baowen: Yes.

*at roadblock*

Kahhwee: I think it should be 49. *goes to carillon player* Is it 49?
carillon player: *shakes head*
Kahhwee: aww shucks.

*at Martinitoren*

*4th team to arrive at Martinitoren - Timothy & Siying*

Siying: I will do it ba. His concentration is as good as a crocodile's.
Timothy: Hey what do you mean!

*at roadblock*

Priscilla: I counted 59, but it seems weird.
Baowen: Priscilla, want to work together? Please use sign languages as I can't hear properly.
Priscilla: *nods head and shows 59 using fingers*
*Priscilla & Baowen goes to carillon player*
Priscilla: Is it 59?
carillon player: *shakes head*

Siying: So there are 13 here, add 16, and 23 here. And 10 more in this small hole. That makes 62. Right? *goes to carillon player* Is it 62?
carillon player: *nods head* You are correct! *hands out next clue*
Siying: Thank you!

*1st team to complete roadblock - Timothy & Siying*

Siying: I'm done!
Timothy: Good job baby!
Siying: *rips open clue* Drive to the town of WHAT?
Yixuan (voice-over): Teams must now drive themselves to the town of Vierhuizen de Marne and find the large windmill. Once there, teams will find their next clue.

*5th team to arrive at Martinitoren - Jack & Sam*

*last team to arrive at Martinitoren - Yuyan & Lisa*

Sam: It's counting, which has to do with maths, I will do it!
Jack: Don't screw it up.

Lisa: It's just counting right?
Yuyan: Yup.
Lisa: I can do this!

*at roadblock*

Kahhwee: I think it's 62. I didn't count this area just now. *goes to carillon player* Is it 62?
carillon player: *nods head* That is correct! *hands out next clue*

*2nd team to complete roadblock - Waisin & Kahhwee*

*at windmill*

*1st team to arrive at windmill - Timothy & Siying*

Timothy: *rips open clue* Detour. Farmer's Game or Farmer's Dance.
A Detour is a choice between two tasks. Each with its own pros and cons. In both Detour choices, teams have to wear traditional Dutch costumes, one male and one female, and ride bicycles to the start of the detour. In this detour, teams are faced with two traditional leisure activities done by the villagers. The choice, Farmer's Fame or Farmer's Dance.
In Farmer's Game, teams have to find a creek, strip down to their farmer's underwear, and swim across. Then, they have to use a unique set of golf clubs shaped like wooden holds to play three holes of golf. Taking turns, they have to finish each hole within eight strokes or less to receive the next clue.
In Farmer's Dance, teams have to learn a Dutch folk dance and perform the moves correctly in front of a crowd. After the performance, teams would receive a reward of salted herring with onions from their instructor. Once they finished the herring, they will receive the next clue.
(Note: The Farmer's Dance detour has been slightly modified, the high striker has been removed to make it more favourable to the female teams.)
Siying: I can't play golf.
Timothy: Let's do the dance then!

*at roadblock*

Lisa: What's 29 + 23? Er, *fiddles with finger* 52?

Priscilla: *rips open clue* Travel to the next pitstop.
Yixuan (voice-over): Teams must now travel by bicycle to the next pitstop, Zoutkamp Harbour. This harbour has been the trading hub in the little humble city, and is now the 7th pitstop in the race around the world. The last team to check in may be eliminated.

This is starting to irritate me. Last week down with sore throat and slight fever. This week down with a very bad cold and some symptoms of flu. WHY CAN'T I BE HEALTHY FOR A WEEKEND?

I wish I have the inspiration and motivation to blog a long non-amazing race post. But alas, I don't have it.

Maybe I can learn from priscilla and play around with lists.

For eg,
Countdown to YIXUAN's 20th birthday: 40 days.
Birthday wishlist:
1) PS3 + HDTV
2) 100k @cash
3) Refurnish my room
4) More time away from army to play maple
5) Complete bmt recourse in one piece
6) Complete UMPOC and promote to 3SG
7) Reconnect with long-lost friends
8) Celebrate my first birthday with that special someone
9) Have my first birthday party at home (BBQ/Steamboat/Potluck/Buffet)
10) ORD!

Well, this blog is getting boring.

P.S. LATE 2nd BIRTHDAY TO MY BELOVED BLOGGY. SORRY THAT I FORGOT ABT IT. ):
