amaZing Race 7th enDed

How long haven't I posted about Amazing Race when I used to post the review every week? Dats coz I have missed so many episodes T^T. Since it's on every Thursday nite, turns out I always have things to do, such as late nite shopping! *LOL*, not olwes dat la.. pokoke ada aja yg menghalangi gw nonton Amazing Race. N last nite thankfully I watched the last episode, yes, it was the final.

Some of u might know I'm the kind who get into it - things that I watched. In this case, the my exciment includes screaming, moving from a sofa to another, nervously bitting my lips, and even praying for my favourite team by keep saying "God, please, please help". It's silly, I know, but I can't help myself Image hosted by Photobucket.com. That race should've been finished quite long ago before they show it in Australian TV. Anyway, just to let you know my favourite team won though! Of course it wasn't because of my prayer. Hahaha

While watching those last three teams battling for the $1 Million, it's funny how I could see humans' life cycle pictured in the race. Actually, this around the world race has thought me many things other than the excitement itself. But I'll just discuss one this time. I'll give you a brief review of last nite's episode. There were three teams left and only the team that firtly reach the final destination would win the prize. The team left was Rob & Amber (formerly won The Survivor), Ron & Kelly, and Uchenna & Joyce (jagoan-ku^^).

Last week, U & J was supposed to be the first team arrived on the pit stop. But their fairy of luck had her focus distracted coz there's a very handsome male fairy passed through. Hahaha, jayus banget Image hosted by Photobucket.com. Niwe, it was on their last trip to the final pit stop the vehicle that they were on had the tyres off (ban bocor apa sih inggrisnya??). So the other teams beat them and they became the last team arrived. Luckily it was the un-elimination episode that they didn't get eliminated, but they had to race without any money and belongings in the next episode (last nite's).

So there they were started with nothing at all and even to start race, they were far left behind the other two teams coz they had to beg for the taxi money. Though they were so much behind the other teams, it was fourtunate that there was a closed post that even the earlier teams had to wait till it opened in the morning. So they were back on track. Up until that moment, Rob & Amber (the very intensed-competitive couple) were on the first line.

Later on in one of the task, Rob & Amber became the last team in the line coz Amber lost her way just to get her task started. And it was The other team (Ron & Kelly), who was on the first and U&J in the second. Next, in the way to the airport, R&K who was on the first, was the last team arrived in the airport coz they took a wrong right where it was suppose to be a left. And so Rob & Amber was the first, then U&J. It was a slightly different in time that Rob & Amber got into the plave leaving in 15 minutes and U&J had to wait for the next flight. Tapiiiiiiiiiiii (duhhh, seru banget nih!!!!), yes, but................... with a little hope, crossed finers, and maksa, the plane that Rob & Amber were in, even it had its door closed and moved away from the passenger pathway.. drove back to the pathway and had their door opened again for U&J!!! Image hosted by Photobucket.com At that time I had my mouth opened and amazed!!!

Waaahh, sudah panjang. Lanjut, seru ni. On the last city they were on, they had to find a place that was named in Portugese (kalo ngga salah), but written in English in the clue). Though Rob & Amber were the first team reaching the area, but U&J got the place first, because the taxi driver speaks Portugese!!!!!

Anddddddddd... the most heart-pounding moment was when U&J was the first arrived couple metres from the $1 Million pit-stop, again they needed to take time begging for insufficient taxi money. Arrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I got so depressed. Hahahaha. Coz Rob & Amber were just behind, and they wouldn't have any trouble paying for their taxi.

Butly, (adjective of but, ada ngga si?) Uchenna & Joyce (jagoan-ku^^).. did win the race!!!!!! Image hosted by Photobucket.comImage hosted by Photobucket.comImage hosted by Photobucket.com

So much called a brief description, huh? Hehehe. Back to my thought before. From the race, we can see that sometimes a winning life doesn't depend on what we have, what we don't have, and what we can, what we can't. It's really a mixture of ourselves and the unpredictable world itself. You see here that the "weakest" team was the winner of the race, while the most "powerfull" team was on the second, and the "so-so" team was on the last. Life's so much unpredicatble, don't u think? U may think you have a smooth life at the moment, but don't loose your grip and stay alarmed, coz u'll never know what might happens next, u could be at the most grounded that u've never even thought about.

Vice versa, u might be at the bottom of your life, hey, dun't give up coz there's always hope and u also don't know what's gonna happen next. U also might be on the toppest that u've never even imagine. I like it when Uchenna calms Joyce Image hosted by Photobucket.com when she felt distressed, he kept saying these, "Let's just hope", "Always think positive", and "We'll just have to try and push ourselves". And I think it's true that our positive thoughts will always enabling us to move on.

And when your life turns you up and downs, don't worry too much, coz that's just how life is. It's like rainy day and sunny day, they just meant to happen. But you learn that rain doesn't stop your life, use umbrellas. If you dun have any, use your mind, aka THINK. And on sunny days, watched out just dun get urself burn Image hosted by Photobucket.com. Apperantly we learn about life and see the wonderful art of life from the life itself.

.. and I am too, Image hosted by Photobucket.com still learning so much. So, have a wonderful excitingly, heart-pounding life friends. Enjoy !!!!!
