100-hour movie marathon begins at The Atrium
Wow... 100 hours...zzz..
If u r the organizer and you don't want people to win... what movies would you play?
SINGAPORE: It seems Singaporeans love to test their endurance. Just earlier this month, many pushed themselves to the limit by taking part in the MediaCorp-Subaru Impreza WRX Challenge.
This time round, a hundred movie fans are going to the extreme by competing in a hundred-hour movie marathon at The Atrium, near Plaza Singapura. The reward? - S$10,000 and a trip to tinseltown Hollywood.
To survive this challenge, contestants have to come up with strategies to keep themselves awake throughout the marathon, without talking.
"I have this rubber band on my wrist, so if I fall asleep or feel tired, I'll just snap it," one of the contestants said.
Another added: "It's a mind-over-body kind of thing. Worse come to worse, I will pull my ear lobe."
The marathon organiser said on Thursday there are measures in place to make sure no contestant passes out from an overdose of Hollywood.
Jasmmine Wong, country business manager, Nestle, said: "They've got toilet breaks. They just have to raise their hands and they'll be escorted. There'll also be nutritional meals and stretching exercises of about five minutes in between (movies) for the participants."
On Saturday, celebrities will be taking part in a special 24-hour movie marathon challenge where the winner will donate the S$10,000 prize to charity.
