Clearly, my friends and I are getting a bit bored of the usual makan/yamcha/beers/clubbing sessions, and are looking for a new kind of adventure.
Someone mentioned SkyTrex the other day, and surprisingly, ALL of us were pretty stoked about it. Made a few phone calls and managed to make our group as big as 20-30 people!


To put things plainly, SkyTrex is an outdoors obstacle course through the jungle – but in the sky!
Imagine jungle trekking, but instead of trekking on the ground like normal people would, we’re abnormal people going about it in the sky. Swinging from tree-to-tree, walking on wires, that sort of thing. Sounds like fun

Loong, moi, and Dennis; having lunch beforehand!

We needed all the energy we could get, the day is gonna be a long workout!
A slight oversight on my part because I ended up a bit hungover that morning, thanks to that crazy Heineken Green Room party the night before. Heh :)

Mucking around while waiting for the bus.
Bernard, Dennis, Cynthia, Loong, Denise, Luxanne in the front. A hidden Aaren & Zyran at the back. And Chris flapping his wings!


And it’s so nice to see everyone dressed in sports wear, for a change!
Unlike our usual casual, or clubbing clothes.

Luxanne: This is my old school bag!
Me: ……can you even fit books in it?
Luxanne: No.

Gearing up at the site. Bryan’s always camera-ready ;)

At this point, can see all the boys getting a lil’ uncomfortable with their harnesses on. Too close for comfort to the family jewels, presumably.

*shift shift position*


When we’re all ready and set to go, we walked by this tall-ass-ladder up a tree, and went “whoa” . This is the starting point?? And next to it was a signboard that says “Big Thrill Adventure”.

“Didn’t James sign us up for The Extreme Challenge, the highest level above Big Thrill? Omaigod.”

Suddenly, all our excited faces turned to worried ones.

We survived SkyTrex!

It was a wild ride, and some of us had to quit halfway, but otherwise it was bloody fabulous :)

I highly recommend it to anyone of you with an adventurous spirit.
