"The 12th MediaCorp Subaru Challenge - The Asian Faceoff kicked off last Saturday at 1pm with 400 participants battling each other to win a Subaru Forester worth S$85,000!"
Well, it's the 3rd day of challenge today! And the number of participants who are still enduring dropped from 400 to about 100 only! And it seems like the participants from the Philippines are still hanging on.
I'm not here to make any racists remarks but don't you guys realise that every Sunday, there will always be a flock of Filipinos women hanging out at town? Especially at Lucky Plaza.
So this event was held at Ngee Ann City, right opposite lucky plaza. I'm quite amazed that these Filipinos women came down to support their friends/country!
Right before I end my shift yesterday, the amount of participants from the Philippines remain at 10! Which is still at full strength !
I'm quite proud of them in some aspects from this competition.
Anyway, I was one of the Event Marshall for this event. My jobscope was to ensure that contestants don't flout the rules as well as to assist the crews in some administrative work. I can really say... This is the most boring job ever.
But I'm pretty thankful that I'm able to know more TemasekPoly students from there, since most of marshalls are from tp!
Back to the prize. Subaru Forester is a really wonderful car. But the prize isn't that wonderful. It's worth S$85,000 which obviously exclude Road Tax and the COE.
So the surprising thing is..
Although this Subaru Forester worth S$85,000
But this paper cost much more than the car itself...
In other words, Singapore is becoming the next Japan.
Update #1, 10:36pm 29 October:
Winner of MediaCorp Subaru Challenge - The Asian Faceoff 2013 is Yusman Wright (Car 4) from Singapore after enduring a total of 75 hours and 1 minute. 1st Runner up is Sunawr Ali.
Omg, I'm so proud of this guy. This guy is from Car 4 and I was one of the marshall for Car 4 during the first day. I can't believe that even though I walked around the car for god knows how many countless times, Lady Luck was actually with him somehow.
Congratulations to Yusman Wright!
