Twincredibles on Alumni Newsletters

How have our lives changed after China Rush? Honestly, nothing have changed at all apart from having an amazing experience that we'll cherish for the rest of our lives. =P Some friends commented that we're now 'celebrities' but the fact is we're not even close to E-grade celebrity...lol!! We can still walk on the streets of Shanghai without being recognized at all. I guess that explains why there's still no news about the renewal of season 4. I would love to join the production crew if there's S4 though. =P 

Anyway, I would like to thank World Learning and UAH Office of International Programs for giving me a space to share about our Amazing Race experience. I hope that by sharing our dream-come-true stories, we'll be able to inspire encourage more people to pursue their dreams and give it a chance to happen. No dreamer is ever too small, no dream is ever too big. =)

Food for thought: It seems like American institutions (alumni) are more interested to know and share about our non-academic experiences/achievements (eg. Charlie's Amazing Race experience was also featured on both Harvard Westlake & Harvard Crimson). On the other hand, local institutions seem to be only interested in academic achievements (eg. ACCA prize winners). =P

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!

It's been quite some time since China Rush 3 finished airing, but I've just managed to sort out all the snapshots of comments about us. This post is a lil' late but it's never too late to say a big thank you to all the fans who have followed and supported the show. Be it positive or negative comments, it's great to see that there are people who are willing to spend time to share their opinions about the race and the casts. Even though we didn't win, we're absolutely blessed to know that there are people out there who liked us and thankful for all the love and support that we've received. These people might not know that we're actually reading (stalking) all these on weibo and forums but we really do appreciate all the comments...a little compliment definitely goes a long way. =) P.S. This is yet another long post, sorry for the lousy image quality. Scroll to the end to read comments from our 'die-hard-fan' and Sheng's fans . =P

Finale of Our Truly Amazing Journey

Leg 12: The Amazing Race China Rush 3 Finale - Chengdu, Sichuan (四川成都)

11 teams, 12 cities, 8000 km, 28 days of filming, 12 exciting episodes...season 3 of the Amazing Race China Rush has finally wrapped up last Sunday. Even though we've bid farewell to the race after our elimination, the finale in Chengdu marked an official end to this remarkably amazing race for all of us. =)

All the contestants flew in to Chengdu to cheer for the final 3 at the final pit stop. While the final 3 were busy racing around Chengdu, all of us gathered in the hotel before heading to the pit stop. It was so good to see everyone, felt like day 1 all over again! =) Jiajia asked everyone to place bet on who we think will win the race and even though both Trainers and Harvard were strong teams, we placed our bet on Harvard coz we heard that Lei Sheng hurt his legs in the last few legs and it would be tough on him if there were any physical tasks in the final leg. 

While waiting for the 3 teams to arrive, we took the opportunity to snap pics with all the teams. So good to have my camera with me...haha!!

And the top 3 teams!!

Most importantly...a pic with our Amazing host, Allan Wu, on the super-sized pit stop mat!! Thanks for hosting another Amazing season!! =)

Non-stop taking pictures while standby-ing waiting for the teams to arrive. Rocking our Penang Island t-shirt again. =P Top left pic: Terence (sound guy) really looked like he was mopping the mat with his fluffy mic...hahaha!!

Just to show how big the pit stop mat was...jump shot failed though. =P

After waiting anxiously under the hot sun for quite awhile, we were all hyped-up when we heard that the first team have finally arrived!! Tadaa...the "Trainers" is the winner of the Amazing Race China Rush Season 3!!! Congratulations to Lei Sheng & Liu Wei Wei. Even though we lost our bet, we're happy that they won the race coz they really deserved it!! They've ran an honorable race and it was definitely a well-deserved win. And that means Liu Wei Wei gets to travel the world...hehe!! =P Kudos to Charlie, Ryan, Steven & Christine too for completing the race!

Thank you to all the teams, crew, production, staff, and ICS for making it all such an Amazing experience for us all! Hope you guys enjoyed watching this amazing season!

Thanks to Yating & Josh for "babysitting" us during the race! =P

Chillin' with fellow contestants. Someone asked me, which team are we closest with? Haha...good question! We have different answers for pre-race, during race, and post-race. Conclusion, we were close with most of the teams...haha!! 

Wrap party at a bar with the big China Rush family after the race. Good times!! =)

Had Sichuan food for lunch with all the crew and contestants before they leave to the airport. Our big group filled up the top floor of the restaurant...lol!!

We stayed back in Chengdu for one more day before flying back to Malaysia while the entire big group flew back to Shanghai. That's it...it's a wrap for this Amazing journey!!

Finally it's time to get back to reality after an amazing month-long journey. Looking back now, the past month seemed so surreal. Absolutely thankful for the opportunity to travel to all the AMAZING places with a bunch of AMAZING people!!

We weren't able to attend the finale party in Shanghai on Nov 11 so we did a video recording to say hi and thank our fans (if any) that were present at the party. Thanks to Hennifer, Vern Mei, and ICS China Rush for the live updates on Weibo. =) The party was a huge success and I'm sure the fans were glad to see Lei Sheng, Liu WeiWei, Ryan, Charlie, Henry, Jenn, Brandon, Yu Ping, Yu ChenJing and Yelin at the party. 

Thank y'all for following our dream-come-true journey on The Amazing Race China Rush 3!!
