Last Sunday, I attended Skytrex with Bloggers event organized by Salam Media. Skytrex is a forest challenge where you have to complete a series of challenges high above the ground. So, since all participants are adults, Salam Media opted for the most challenging one, consisting of 34 challenges and up to 22mtrs high.

We arrived at Taman Bukit Cerakah at 1.45pm. It was a beautiful sunny day, clear sky, Alhamdulillah. After waiting for everyone, we took a bus to get to the skytrex. There is a shuttle bus exclusively for skytrex. Azlan, the person in charge for Skytrex brought us there. After going to the loo, signed the release form, and get everything else sorted out, we went ahead to get our harnesses on.

There were several staffs there to help everyone get  into their harnesses. I really appreciate that they paid careful attention and ensuring that everybody’s harnesses are worn correctly and secure. Next, it was the safety briefing. We weren’t allowed to do anything else except paying attention, as when you are 22mtrs high, safety is indeed, number one priority.

Mini course to practice before the real deal.

So I wanted to get a fixie so suddenly. This one evening after I picked up my sister from school, I went to a bike store on a whim.  Well actually, I was bored and I wanted to do something fun & potentially dangerous.

I told Eddie about it,  and brought him to the bike store.  He said to hold it off and see some other options. So, we got home,  and he he got excited (like he always does) and did a night’s research on fixie and racing bikes. Racing bikes are way cooler, but I’m not gonna spend 1.3k (thats cheapest, expensive ones can reach more than 10k)  for something I’m not sure of.  Hence, a fixie. Plus, I wanted it because I need a fun way to burn off some calories.

Look! So pwettyyyy *insert googly eyes here*

We bought it at CMS Bike store in Seksyen 25, Shah Alam. Very nice owner. So I was happy to buy from him. Anyway, we got home and straightaway tested the bike. and guess what? I freaking FELL on my first attempt, and I didn’t even get to cycle it! HAHA! I rode every day for a year in Melbourne, and I fell on this one. Like whaaaaat.  It was a pretty hard fall, because my strappy sandle (in picture) got tangled with the pedal strap so I wasn’t able to support myself as I fell.

Yep, big mistake.

After that, I switched to my shoes and tested it down the hill and back up. Man, going uphill was HARD. I could barely catch my breath as I reached home! Maybe I should practice on flat land for now. Plus, I need to learn the proper technique to stop the bike. So far, I’m glad I got it. No, it’s not because of the pretty colours. Or hip or poyo with my fixie. No. I’m sure I’ll be getting quite a workout from this. Maybe I won’t be as awesome as those fixie nerds but atleast I’ll have some fun. I hope.

Ok, fine, I’ll be honest. It’s because of the pretty colours. hahaha :p

Surely I didn’t get my mum’s approval for this.  Don’t even know how to face her, she gave me a cold shoulder just now. The difference between us are like heaven & hell. I’m always thirsty for some adventures and she AVOIDS them. but  oh well, she’ll come around.  😉

#exteremetwtup

aah, meant to blog about this exactly 83 years ago, but things got in the way, bla bla bla. So, story short (as always harharhar) my darling Eddie and I decided to joined this extremetwtup organized by lovely Aini. It was a wall climbing activity, the first time I ever had. Well, I actually had the idea of wall climbing long ago but I had no support from my mum because she said it’s a ‘vulgar’ sports (because of that supporting ‘brief’ that highlights your crotch haha) and Eddie said it’s a tough sports. I wanted to try it anyway.

So, I did. And I managed to conquer 3 walls out of 4. Not bad for a first timer, huh? Thanks to my heavy ass, I didn’t manage to conquer that one wall. but I shall be back to try again! Eddie did well too considering his body weight and according to him, his age. But I beg to differ. 27 is not that old. *denials*

checking out Aini's ass?

That's Aini the champ!

we coincidentally wore blue! made us look like a duo sports team hahah

It was really fun and I’d definitely climb again. Much thanks to Aini, it was awesome, girl! I made new friends, which was great but sorry if I was being annoying hahaha.
