Weekend Getaway - Skytrex Adventure

Weekend 1: Wag your dog
Weekend 2: Clean your closet,
Weekend 3: Get a jump on your reading list
Weekend 4: What else to do?

I’ve an idea, I’ll show you the ropes challenge.

Located at the serene Botanical Garden in Shah Alam, Julien, the French monkey *ehem* Park Ranger, build this high rope course together with a few helping hands.

Monkey see, monkey do, (and swing along the trees). There are 5 monkeys (including me) and 1 videographer in the clip.

On average, the Big Thrill will take about 1 hour to complete but often the whole activity will take about 3 hours because people get jammed in the midst of completing the task.

For example, Mini Tarzan swing causes blockage because it requires more strength and the correct skill to move to the next canopy. Most of the time you’ll find yourself admiring the green forest while waiting for the task.

Book the earliest schedule to avoid dreadful waiting time.

There are lockers and recycle gloves provided. So, make sure you wear sports shoes and proper trekking attire. If you prefer new gloves, it is available for sale at RM5. You can also rent bottle strap to carry your drink while trekking up high in the sky. 

 

All other gears are provided (harness, pulley, karabiner) and strictly no outside gears are allowed.


Before proceeding to the Big Thrill or Extreme Challenge, all Skytrekers has to go through simple elaborated training at 3-4 meters high on how to use ropes course gears.

No worries, even I did it twice. It shouldn’t be a problem for anyone else except those who are physically challenged or medically unfit. 

 

What? Skytrex Adventure – Monkey see, monkey do, (and swing along the trees). A rope course in the sky makes you swing along the tree and lots of flying fox.

Where? Botanical Garden, Shah Alam
When? You’re ready to get out of the shopping mall. Open only on weekends (booking required). Available on weekdays if you have minimum 25 pax.

All the single gentlemen...

Recently, while out to have drinks with my friend, Violet. I turned away all the “Happy Valentine’s” dinner set menu laid on the table. 

“Think I am spending it alone as all my close friends are coupled up,” I explained. 

I expected her to nod, sympathetically and shunt those lovely cupids to the furthest corner of our table. Instead? She proposed to hook me up.

Violet, the founder of Lunch Actually, the largest dating agency in Asia offered all single men out there in KL to have a date with me! 

Right then, in that moment, with the scent of roses in the air, my dear friend has solved my holiday’s plan.

It has been a long day working in front of the computer: monitoring my twitter, reading a lot on culture and still trying to figure out my resume/CV.

This totally brings me some laughter.
