The flying monkey ^0^

Yahoooo...it has become quite a cliche for me to say that I haven't been updating my blog for a long time now,
So I guess I'll just skip that part..hehe (Oops, did i just said I haven't been updating?)
So does anyone miss me? =P
Been busy with all the assignments and exam
oh well the bloody final has finally ended
and now it is the world cup fever time!
But, the main purpose of this post is not about any of those
It is to blog about SkyTrex!

Oh yes, I went SkyTrex today with the 2nd year sem 1 engineering nerrrdss from Monash
The SkyTrex Adventure Park is located at the Taman Pertanian Malaysia at Shah Alam, and given my nature, of course I have absolute no idea on how to get there =P
The day started off with plenty of fun when we were left behind at the toll when we were lining up to pay the toll while everyone else just dashed off using touch n go/smartag, and the only car that noticed we were left behind and stop to wait for us, have no idea on how to get there as well, LOL!
So with a bit of luck and the help of GPS (ps : gps can sometimes help u to get lost too =P)
We finally manage to get there somehow

Below is a glimpse of the track posted on the SkyTrex website

This is the Little Adventure track, which...is for kid mostly lol

We went for the medium level Big Thrill, which supposingly reached as high as 17m

Of course, the posing before we start off with the challenge, spot any lenglui lengzai that u are interested in? I can intro anytime XD


The starting point for the Big Thrill, follow by other challenges that can be found

Took before walking on it =)

The zig-zag walk, and followed by..
Flying Fox! (can you actually see the ropes? lol the photo not so good)

errr...no idea wad this is called, pipe hopping?

The escape route if you can't take it anymore (looks just like my 1st obstacle though, but this 1 bring u straight to the ground)

And etc...lol
This is suppose to be the final track, where u walk from the bridge, and flying fox down from the rope at my right, and go down through the net (still wondering why did I took this angle instead of taking in the direction of the flying fox XD)

Most of us were able to finish the track in under an hour time, and I can really feel my weight and inadequate strength this time, guess it is time to start working out again. My stamina was just enough lol, no more energy after this.

After we finished the track, we have some time to walk around while waiting for others to complete the task, since we have 27 ppl going on the challenge >.< Here's the surrounding of the park, mind the photos aren't exactly good, the same to those that I posted above as I only have my small digital cam with me. If u aren't exactly interested in nature or...err photos u can actually skip this part XD







Oh well will only be posting a few, I bet u people get bored from watching so many photos =P
Hopefully next time I'll be able to challenge the Extreme Challenge. 22m above ground sound just absolutely cool

ps: I am actually scared of height, but somehow I dun feel a thing wondered if I've already overcome it haha

This reminds me though, this will absolutely a great place for us ex scout to gather aka 05/06 AJK for ex 20th Kepong scout, if any of u actually read this hahaha

That's all then
Hope all of you have a nice day
Cheers^^
