Team 6 blog entry

HI! This is team 6 led by Mr Tan Lee Sze. We had an awesome time at the Little India amazing race; but most importantly it was truly educational. We covered a total of six stations. Our easiest station was our very first stop at Ganesh Saree store where we tied sarees in the Northern and Southern style for Mona and Wei Ling. Two other members wore the dhoti. It was fun learning to tie the saree and we were impressed to know that Anne already knew how to tie a saree! After our models were ready, we took some photographs and headed to our next station at the arcade.

Our next station was our most difficult one in the entire race. We spent the most amount of time at station 6 as it was so difficult figuring out how to write RICE in tamil! However, being the “never-say-die” team we are, we accomplished this ‘mission-impossible’ in the end! Wee!

Though showers of rain and gloomy clouds overcast the amazing race, our team spirit remained un - dampened and we remained upbeat throughout the long walks. We had fun chatting and joking during our walks from one station to another. The most fun station was the one where we had to dance the Indian classical dance. Arul is a really good dance teacher! Hmmmm…. We also realized that there are a few hidden dance talents among our colleagues! Hmmmmmmmmmmm….


There were some general things that we already knew about the Indian culture but we learnt more interesting facts, like
1) how to make a crispy paper tosai,
2) the similarities between the English language and Tamil language and
3) the ‘kolam’ was initially designed to feed ants and birds outside the house

Indian culture is also similar to the western culture in terms of using consonants and vowels in their languages and is similar to Malay culture in terms of having many delicacies and putting henna body art.

We had a really enriching experience and this could not have been possible without Sabrina, Amu and Fiza. We took note of the enormous effort put into organizing the amazing race and how they even looked into every single detail like creating witty clues, including Indian related props, souvenirs etcetera and of course a yummy lunch.

Thank you so much Sabrina, Amu and Fiza for putting in so much effort and creating a wonderful time for all of us! We love you! We love you very very much! (so can you let us win the best blog entry plssssssss)
