This is what happens when you inhale too much helium:



























That's a lie, obviously.

THE TRUTH:





This is what happens when you ride a flying fox at Skytrex...

... and get stuck halfway.

"Look guys! I'm a kite!"










So a bunch of us brave souls took on the Big Thrill challenge at Skytrex Adventure Park in Taman Pertanian Malaysia, Shah Alam half a year ago. YES I'M AFRAID YOU ARE LOOKING AT SEVERELY OUTDATED PICTURES I'M SORRY.

There're 3 challenges to choose from by the way - Little Adventure, Big Thrill, and Extreme Challenge. We were a little chicken (chick?) to try Extreme so we chose Big Thrill.





'Sup.












"Babes love milk!"

"LOLWHUT REALLY?!"






Attach hot chick here.


Lousy Photoshop, I know. Shut up.







And we're here!



There's no reception area up front, but fret not, monkeys will tell you exactly what to do. :D


We had to fill-in some legal forms first, y'know the kind that says if you die or drown or get eaten by tigers (okay I just realized all three basically mean the same thing - you die), it's your own fault. Too bad. Sucks to be you.



But since we're still alive, let's wear our second-hand gloves and make a big finger star!

You can opt for second-hand gloves free of charge, or buy new ones at RM3 per pair. Most of us used someone else's smelly worn-out gloves, but they weren't too bad.

Oh and don't, for a second, think you won't NEED gloves. You will. Unless you're damn thick-skinned, or you're trying to act macho to impress a girl (in which case the girl will laugh when you chafe your hands).





After getting our gangsta biker gloves, we proceeded to the gear-up deck.








... Uhm, awkward.



Alvin: "Are you seriously taking a picture of this?"



The homies.

The... Homettes? Homiettes? Homos?
Gah, THE GIRLS.


"If you get to take photos of our crotches we get to take photos of your butt right."








Behold, our departure point.

*Cue Jack Sparrow theme song*


17 metres above the ground, 26 challenges, adrenaline pumping, no turning back...














"Excuse me, have you all had your training yet?"

... no training. =.=

*Pweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeebrrr*
(Sound of balloon deflating?)

So here we are at the training course.








*Training for 20 minutes*





OKAY, WE'RE READY NOW.


LET'S GO JACK SPARROW SONG GO!


17 metres above the ground, 26 challenges, adrenaline pumping, no turning back...


*Some photos missing*






MARVELLOUS PHOTOGRAPHY GUO YAW, HOW ARTISTIC. LOVE IT!
(He was trying to take a picture of me and Boon, but the camera would only focus on the ropes hahaha)

"LOLWHUT REALLY?!?!"





Some zig-zag plank-walking, Tarzan-swinging, a tightrope (isn't as hard as it looks!) and countless flying foxes later...


We were all back on land, in one smelly, sticky, sweaty piece.

Big Thrill wasn't hard AT ALL! The scariest and most challenging part for me was the climb up. After you get used to the height, it's pretty easy. The obstacles started getting repetitive after a while, so if you're not afraid of heights I suggest you go straight to Extreme Challenge and skip Big Thrill.

And don't... don't even think about Little Adventure. Lest you wanna be hanging out with kids.


The boys are falling apart, and Brenda wants a bath.



Indeed, Skytrex was jizz.
