It's over* - Lisa Loeb & The Nine Stories

It's 1 pm (GMT+8) on Friday the 13, 2007. That's significant - no, it's not that i'm superstitious. It's just that there's no turning back now - unless someone offers me a lift on their private jet to fly down to Singapore. But even then, we dun have a video to submit and the stupid complicated form remains un-filled.

Yup folks, Jess and I won't be winning... erm, i mean joining The Amazing Race, Asia this year. Thanks to those who were giving their support and encouragement - and even spent time to help us out! Sori. :-(

This year would have been perfect for me - not having a proper permanent job yet and still in good physical shape (not gonna last long, trust me!!! Not wif all the late nite suppers...).

Being the drama queen (and king) we are, we would like to say that the universe conspired to make sure we won't win it this year! Or maybe it's conspiring so that we'll win it next year.... hmmm....

Its a combination of many things - and the fact that i'm such a procrastinator din help at all! I just started work beginning this month and since i've committed to take the public transport, i'm been physically tired lately. Then there were the video cam which din work and the downloaded convertor which did not convert. The fact that they extended the dateline for submission only made it worse as we were given the impression that we had all the time we needed!

And there was the Easter drama which we were involved in. Yeah, blame it on the drama... ;-P It would be apt, tho, since our drama was titled "So near, yet so far"!!!!! Lol!

Oh well... next year, k? I promise i'll get the video ready 2 weeks before submission date!
