The Da Vinci Trail - "Im No Da Vinci"

Hi Y'all!

I have a story! Haha. My Saturday Story.

As the title suggest, I was on the Da Vinci Trail held by MediaCorp ArtsCentral at The Cathay earlier today. Running around Spore in an oversized shirt and a Da Vinci lanyard was beginnin to be a bad idea. Not mentioning stares and weird look from commuters. Our only transport available to us was train. No others, lest u want to be disqualified.

Well we gathered up at 1030am for registration and rendevous back at 0100, givin time to participants to change up to the correct attire(the Da Vinci Tee). At 1pm, me and another fren, Ben, was all geared up. Little that we know our first clue was our first and costliest mistake!


The First clue. "A known phoenix rises from this station..". Actin all gungho and rather confident, we headed to CCK..thinkin that phoenix LRT station will rise to Bt Panjang Station. Yeah RIGHT..!!! While travellin from DG to CCK, we were thinkin..Damn this is far!. We were already at Jurong East when suggestion to callup a friend proved otherwise. "Its Somerset! A phoenix hotel is located opp!" my friend on phone informed. We suddenly felt the overcast dark gloom as it dawned upon us that CCk was too far for a first clue. As they say, the rest is history...

Total of 1hr lost to rectify the mistake and we managed to solve another 3 clues when we realised its time to head back to The Cathay. Total clues to be answered - 8. Total Solved - 4. Sigh.....


With collection of the rewards pack, a pair of painful tired legs that developed a mind of their own, we dragged ourselves home.

Oh yeah..we played pool first to take our minds of our SADDDDDDD mistake. Dinner at our hometown coffeeshop and off to home....


There goes the trip to Paris.....sigh..
