By completing this first phase, we are eligible to participate in the second and final round on Saturday, where we would race for the grand prize of US $2000. We were ecstatic! *Well, we still are up to this minute*
Anyway, we went to the online forum after we hit the pit stop and started posting our victory and congratulating other teams that arrived about the same time as we did. I had to stop Beau from making cocky comments because, omg, he can be so freaking pompous sometimes. (Example: "Omigod Bebe look! There's somebody still stuck at route marker 7! I'm gonna reply: 'Which one is route marker 7? I'm sorry I forgot, it's been a while'". And I'd say: "NO!! BEAU NO!! THAT IS MEAN!!!" You get the picture?). After several minutes of arguing on what to post and what NOT to post, we were bored. And this is where the conversation started flowing again.
Beau: "Belle, what would you do if you win the 2000 dollars?"
Me: "You mean the 1000 dollars. We're gonna split it, right?"
Beau: "Oh yeah. Yeah. What are you gonna do with it?"
Me: "Umm... I wanna take a vacation! Oooh!! Let's go to Singapore and REALLY SPLURGE!"
Beau: "That's a thought. I'm going shopping first in ZARA"
Me: "Oh I will too, but then I'm wearing the things I bought to the vacay! Hey I know... let's go to Australia"
Beau: "Good thinking! Lemme check how much the ticket is"
I bursted into laughter.
Me: "BEAU! WE'RE NOT EVEN STARTING THE FINAL RACE YET!"
Beau: "Well I'm gonna look anyway"
Me: "It's only a thousand dollars. What do you wanna do? Arrive at Australia, hang around at the airport and go back home again?"
Beau: "Hm. You're right"
Me: "Well let's stick with Singapore. We can go through Batam, to save money!"
Beau: "I DON'T WANT THAT! THEN PEOPLE WON'T SEE THAT WE JUST WON A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY!"
Me: "Oh you are so freaking sickening!" *insert unstoppable laughter here*
Beau: "Hey do they give us trophies if we win? If yes, then I'm gonna take the trophy to Singapore and take it EVERYWHERE WE GO"
I laughed so hard I felt my dinner came up to my throat.
Me: "You know what's so funny?"
Beau: "What?"
Me: "I can actually see you wearing the trophy around your neck!"
Beau: "Yeah! And when people ask, I'd just say: 'What? Oh, this old thing?' They WILL know that I won the online Amazing Race!"
Me: "STOP BEAU! STOP! YOU'RE SICK!" *I almost fell off the chair, still laughing so hard.
Beau: "WHAAAATT?? I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING!"
As a girl, I've always wanted a guy who knows how to make me laugh. So I wished hard for it. But you see, I learnt my lesson: over-wishing can cause tummy cramps. Seriously.
But I love you no matter what, Beau! Even if you dangle a huge trophy around your neck and act nonchalant about it. I will be there, by your side, holding your hand and be the proudest girlfriend/teammate in the world.
Because you are just amazing :)
MWAH!
