i had a GREAT time today! a once in a lifetime experience sort fo thing... haha... my class went to SAFRA Yishun to do artificial ice climbing and high elements! whoah! it was awesome dude... if you guys watched Vertical Limit, we used the same equipment(with less extremes), the ice axe and the funky spiky boots! starting wasn't that bad, but after a while, waaaaahhh.... your arms will just totally go numb! i mean it! my palms were all sweaty and wah, i was loosing strength in my arms, i couldn't lift myself up anymore! pulling yourself up was the difficult part... phew! after that, on to the high elements! we climbed up to about the height of a 6-storey building, ... i know what you're thinking, "6-STOREYS?! ARE YOU MAD?????" yes yes, i know it was high, but it was really very fun! trust me... it was a loop thing, so starting off was a rope bridge, with like big gaps between the planks and a rope railing... quite alright, a little shaky... heehee next! was just a plank of wood! and only one rope railing.... i tell you, the rope attached from me to tehe cable above me got stuck!! i was stuck halfway! my friend and i were already on the verge of falling off the plank dude! but luckily managed to free the cable(stupid cable)! last! wah, this was the tiring part... parallel wires, and rows of ropes dangling from the above cable... okok, step, grab the ropes, step, step, grab the rope... and on and on it goes! nearing the end, i missed one of the wires, and i was only balancing on one wire! waaahh, scary dude... coming back, all my friends said i looked damn serious... sorry la! concentrating and not panicking mahhhh..... aaah!! but it was worth it.. extremely fun...
