The Da Vinci Codebreaker Challenge!

*playing Heard Em Say by Kanye West ft. Adam Levine of Maroon 5




The Team!


Singaporean Spirit when told they cannot open the seal on the envelope!


Will our names appear on this board later on? Can we make Top 20 of the 150 teams?


The 'Seal' on the envelope!


Our Team Number which incidentally coincide with the race day 1305


Would we be able make it on this podium first?


The race that help publicise the movie opening this week!




That's right I broke all 4 codes from 8 Days, TODAY, Class 95 and on Mediacorp Channel 5 respectively and was 1 of the 150 teams selected for this Code Breaker Race! Managed to get Weiliang to be my partner, our partnership has gone through the POD race help in different polys in 2003! However, as in every game, you not only need to be the best, you need luck on your side as well. So we did not win and we had a hunch it was mainly due to our route that our Group "B" took. I am pleased and really felt the winners (2 ladies) truly deserved to win this Code Breaker Race which got themselves a priceless trip on The Da Vinci trail! All 148 other teams concurred too with loud applause when the winners were annouced.


The Codebreaker Race is a race within MRT stations. All 150 Teams were given free access to the stations coutersy of SMRT. There were altogether 8 stations we have to go but we were instructed to go back to The Cathay at the 6 station as the winners were found!From Dhoby Ghaut Sation to Bugis, The race enlighten me and weiliang such that we now know the Eastern Regional Centre is Tampinese. The One and ONLY yellow station is Toa Payoh. The station named after the most famous road is naturally Orchard. A station whose first name is pronouce centre in hokkien and new in malay(ans: Tiong Bahru). Our founder's station Raffles! It was a pity weiliang and I could not go to other 2 stations to at least complete it. Oh and the above stations are in order of our route! A-la-Amazing Race! At each station there were Da Vinci Code related movie posters and sponsors for the shows. Riddles were sent to us via Sms and we have to solve it to get a clue to the next station! It was really a very cool and interesting event to launch a movie. I hope there will be more in future!


Oh yes, we are gonna be the first to catch The Da Vinci Code (149mins) before it opens on 18th May 2006! Ha!


avec le prochain
jh out!~


p.s : Poseidon if I were to summarise it would be a Titanic with the action shown inside the ship! It shows the different characters going thru lotsa of stuff such as would you let someone else die to save yourself? Overall I think it's worth watching although some of the scenes were astonishinly impossible! 3.1 out fo 5 Poseidons!

Not boring not exciting, not lazy not hardworking, not handsome not ugly, not short not thin, not a bad guy not quite mommy's boy either. Regular Singaporean guy who like most guys probably get several different colours of the same shirt, t-shirt, berms, jeans once they fall in love with a particular design. Been through the era of cassette tapes of walkmans to discmans(remember the anti-shock technology) as well as MiniDisc(coming out at a bad time) which obviously lost to the emergence of mp3s and the CD to LD which saw LD losing out to VCDs. Next came the DVDs which 0wned the vcds and try to act smart by having 2 groups, HD DVD and Blu Ray. 2 words BLU.RAY. Loves to reminisce the old days when A&W rootbear float was still around and KFC was still a restaurant complete with waiters serving you Kentucky Fried Chicken. The days where bus fares were 10 cents for students and pizza hut's lunch buffets. Moves/dances to the jumpy music of Ipod Ads and likes to laugh at the Hello I'm a Mac, Hello I'm a PC advertisements!
