Went to Shah Alam yesterday to gate crash the ME Marketing Dept's Team Building. I've been wanting to try out the Sky Treks challenge, so when an opportunity came along, I grabbed it. Aha! Got there bout 1pm, it was good to meet up the rest of the gang. The activities started with a short briefing of safety precautions, and they gave us a lil help puttin on our harnesses. We are then to complete a short training, which is a sneak preview of what we will be doing inside. It started with a simple climb up a 'pipe ladder'. then a horizontal ladder of planks.,followed by a swing across into a web build from ropes, and finally a 'flying fox' to the ground. With a big group around, and having to wait for each and everyone to complete the training, the Big Thrill Challenge did not start until bout 3pm.
Raindrops were falling on our head as we took on the first challenge of the 23 different rope challenges, but we were told that we could proceed in the rain, unless a thunderstorm strikes. Well, maybe that instructor did jinx it, it started pouring cats and dogs, Michelle & I were up at the platform waiting for our turn to go down this long ladder built from plastic pipes. But due to time constraint, and the heavy rain, we were told to slide down a la "Flying Fox" all the way to the side where there is a descending "Chicken Net" for emergency exit purposes. In this case, it was us who needed it. I was running franctically to the shelter as my camera was getting soaked too. Good thing nothing happened to it.
So at 4.30pm, not only we did not complete the challenge, we were soaked thoroughly. It was a good thing that we are entitled to a reschedule. Looking forward to the new date !
