♥ Exskyted
OK.
Back to some happier stuff, Exskyted..
Last weekend the gang invited me to the forest where the fun never ends.. It's fun alright but it comes with a price as well.. Came back with my whole body aching! I'm talking about Skytrex Adventure at Taman Pertanian Malaysia, Shah Alam.
Before we started we had to sign a piece of paper which is an agreement where we would not sue them if we die or something haha then we had to put on the harness..
After we were all geared up, we had to listen to some briefing. He taught us how to hook those hooks on the harness to the ropes for the obstacles we are going to face.. Because when you're up there, you're all by yourself. Nobody is going to watch over you, so if you hook wrongly, then say your last words to the monkeys and trees and fall gracefully to the ground when you are falling 23 metres high.It was a bit confusing at first to learn how to hook, but when you're doing it for more than 3 times, you'll get the hang of it. The guy who was briefing us even shared a story with us about a woman who panic when she was doing the Flying Fox and she was turning 360 degrees. She panicked, so she put her hands on TOP of the hooks, her fingers were like swelled up and sort of dislocated. 0.0
After the disgusting story, we were asked to try out on the training ground.. Not very high, if you are at a normal height, you probably can touch the ground with your feet. But if you're at my height, sorry the grounds seems very far from your feet...
After training, it's time to move on to the real stuff.
Once you climb this stairs up which is 23 metres high, there is no turning back. You can't u-turn, or give up. It was damn high and tiring to climb up. Once you're up there, you got to hook yourself up and flyingggg fox to the other platform at the other end of the tree. Then climb up AGAIN, hook yourself up again, and flyingggg fox again..
I didn't manage to take many photos while doing the obstacles because it's damn tiring and once you get the chance to rest, you REALLY wanna rest!
walking on shaking wooden planks..
walking on one line rope..
Once you are done with the last obstacle, you'll be praying for a super cold 100 plus.
That's pretty much the whole trip.. Overall tiring but fun.. But definitely not for the faint heart and those who are afraid of heights!
p.s//Veron, when we doing it?? (:
