My Subaru Challenge Experience 6 Bananas, 2 mouthfuls of bread, 2 mouthfuls of rice n fish, countless 100+, 1 sanitary pad (yes my aunt florence decided to visit me during the challenge), no sleep, non-stop dancing since early last night till 3pm today, n made a few friends, all in 26hrs! 6hrs n we get a 5-min break, but it could be more than 6hrs cos they will draw lots n see which car gets to go for break first, we will take turns car by car. N yes, in that 5-min break, u will eat, drink, pee n poo, smoke if u have to, n go for a massage (by the first aider who will rub ur hand/back/legs w ice n muscle ache cream. I literally ate my bananas in the portable toilet while peeing. Total paxs was 335 when we started if i am not wrong, n when we left, there were less than 150. From 29 paxs on the car i was at, when i left there were 13 of us left. I was actually v happy cos some of the guys in my grp started doing the thumbs up sign to me since early this morning, n then at 25hrs when i told them i am leaving at 26hrs, they told me tat they were talking n thinking that i wld be the last few standing at our car, silent killer as they called me, n i was surprised they think so highly of me. I also noticed some guys when they were extremely sleepy or tired n felt like giving up, looked at me n went on! Hehe! But actually to me, it doesnt matter whether i made it as long as i can, or if i won or not. I feel v happy n satisfied that i have already way surpassed my own expectations. I can answer to myself n dun see any point in further damaging my body anymore. :) One thing i saw during the challenge was the love of a mother to her son, tot its really heartwarming. She was there throughout the night, even brought the sibling n also their dog to come support her son who was at the same car as me. She was starting to look v tired by 5-6am, son looked even more tired n dozing off. Then i observed she looked worried n heartpain when the son wasnt looking, but displayed positive vibes when the son looked at her, cheering him on. Occasionally when she saw her son dozing off, she wld call out him to wake him. The son perservered on n left w his family at the 7am break. :) Here are some people i wanna specially thank, without u, i wouldnt have made it this far : Thank u Tng Hong Meng Raphael for telling me that my hand will get used to the position when it went numb like 5-10mins into the challenge n i tot i might get a panic attack when i cant feel my hand anymore, also asking me not to think abt it when i started to get real thirsty 1+hr into the challenge n made it all the way till 6hrs later. I actually tot it was really dun trying to drink the rain drops! Hehe! Thank u Ina for ur massage when i was feeling v sleepy 18hrs into the challenge, it did perk me up. The Marshall Wens who took such gd care of us! He went round quite a no. Of times to spray us w water so that we dun get heat stroke n more chaota skin. N one guy actually told him, Wens, is i am a girl, im sure gonna marry u! If i win the car, u get to sit in it! LOL! And of cos, its heartwarming for me to see so many friends dropping by to show support for me/us (whether you came specially or happened to be ard there). :) Firstly, i wanna thank my mother-in-law Maggie Goh for being there for chunks of time, taking pics for us, giving us moral support, then going to our place to help feed our dogs. My mum n cousin Uyus Lee for coming by yest. My dear neighbour Liu Yuanyin n Danny Yap Kok Wee, who came by w their dogs to cheer us on n then offered to help feed my dogs so my MIL didnt have to rush here n there. Oh, n thank u for sending the 40+cents SMS msg! It felt damn gd when i read it on the big screen this morning! :) Thank u Thaza Ainul Falah, Margaret Low, Jeremy Lin, Kieran, for coming to support! Im sorry if i happen to miss out any or not able to spot any of u, i tried to rem as much as i can in that state of mind, lol! But thank u for coming! :) Thank u all for ur words of support n encouragement here n on watsapp! I feel v blessed! :) Lastly, not forgetting my LOVE Sky Lee !
