Reebok Zigtech Treadmill Challenge at 1 Utama

& the blogging resumes. Damn, my procastination is so severe till I even forgotten the date of the event! Let me see.. Oh yes! 26th Febuary!

Reebok Zigtech treadmill Challenge is simply 48 hour non-stop running on treadmill in attempt to record the highest amount of calories burned collectively. By running an hour each runner are given Reebok and GNC goodies. Among them are Reebok bag, shirt, GNC health supplement, and many more. 

The challenge took place at 1U, with so many people participating - Christine, my brother, Khai Sim, Louis and myself are among the particpants. Each of us are required to put on the very bulky Reebok Zigtech shoes to run.

With the speed range of 10-14km/hour, steepness ranging from 0-2, duration of 60 minutes, I burned 1033 calories. Speaking about calories, do you know a Big Mac contains approximately 550 000 calories. Damn.

This is Christine taking up the 1 hour treadmill challenge at 1am in the morning.

Menacing behind "running" Christine. She's so good, she can "run" while uploading photos through her iPhone D:

Girls devouring bananas. Naise.

I was allocated to the 8am time slot to run. Oh well, at least my situation's better than those who register but couldn't run. Hooha pledged to organize a better one next year :D!

Thian Hong and Christine tagged along to support me for the 1 hour run. So sweet of them waking up so early :).

Rise and shine guys! :D

Having bananas before runs are common as an immediate source of energy. Thian Hong's eating banana because he's just.. hungry :)

Gearing up for the run

& did I mention I loathe the Zigtech shoes? Bulky giler. Almost like a basketball shoe.

While I was running...

& still running..

When I'm done, I had my fair share of appearances in the camera too :p

Redbull Show-men

That's a wrap!

After that, time for breakfast! Thian Hong suggested he should eat Village Park's Nasi Lemak again because it was too good :P

Makes me wanna have a plate now D:

Aaaah heavy breakfast there! Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng + Ayam Goreng + Milo Dinosaur for Thian Hong's dinosaur appetite :P

Later on, I sent Christine back to her house at SS2. Knowing her house is right behind Edusmart, we decided to drop by because it's been so long since we last pay Uncle Chan and Madam Molly a visit!

But sadly, they weren't around. So we left a door note! Uncle Chan called us later on to thank us for being thoughtful and dropping by. He later added his famous quote "sow and you will reap" and Thian Hong replied with Pn. Molly's famous quote "Yes will study hard if not it will be like digging your own grave" which made Uncle Chan burst into laughter too.

It says "We love you Pn Molly and Uncle Chan. Lotsa love!" :)

& for procrastinating so long I successfully finished 1 of many blog posts. 

More posts to come :p

Tongue Challenge.

1. Find a cherry stalk (it can be preserved or fresh)

2. With that cherry stalk, tie a knot using only your tongue. 

Being able to do so it is said that you're an excellent kisser.

Share with me if you can do it ;).

Well, I successfully tied a cherry stalk knot ;

... twice in 2 attempts ;).

Skytrex - Extreme Challenge!

On the second day of the year 2011, I successfully organized a bunch of us to go for Skytrex! After hearing so much about it, Skytrex is definitely in my to-do list! Knowing Lisa is keen on having fun around tree canopies too, so she came and brought along her Sydney friends and I brought the Cengal bunch, plus Yi Ching and Karen :). 

Skytrex Adventures basically eco-recreational acitivities which will take participants from tree to tree (on the canopy!) via series of aerial obstacles suspended at 3 to 22 meters in the air. Agility, courage, strength are needed to complete the challenges in the sky. But don't worry guys, it's utterly safe!

To go for Skytrex, you've to make reservations and pay via online. Among the routes they have are: 

• Extreme Challenge RM45 (RM40 effective 1 Jan 2011)
• Big Thrill RM40 (RM45 effective 1 Jan 2011)
• Little Adventure. 

However, if you get more than 10 people to go, you're entitled for a 10% discount. There are 13 of us so each of us only need to pay RM40.50 for Extreme Challenge :).
Interested? Visit its official website. 

Before going for Skytrex located at Taman Pertanian Shah Alam, we went over to Klang to have Bak Kut Teh brunch at Teluk Pulai Bak Kut Teh. 

Potential Bak Kut Teh Restaurant ambassador ;)

Dried Bak Kut Teh, Yau Char Kwai, Sang Choi, Wet Bak Kut Teh. After having our tummies filled with these scrumptious food, we're energized to for all the climbing and flying fox woots!

Weng Hoe driving us there ;)

Upon reaching, you've to pay RM3 to the reserve forest and there will be a shuttle bus/van/vehicle that will drive us to the Skytrex location. Be prepared for a really bumpy ride.

Next, we're required to sign indemnity forms, and put on gloves. (You can purchase new ones for only RM3 or use the recycled gloves they provide for free).

& yes, place RM5 deposit if you wish to have a locker for your belongings.

Weng Hoe and Quan Yuan are readeh!

Hi guys, meet Karen :)

Climb!

Everybody excited!

Harnest and gears will be provided. Don't worry there are crews to help you out ;)

Bottom (L-R) : Lisa, Mei San, Weng Hoe, myself
Missing : Li-Jen
All ready with the harnest! Off we go guys!

Took us 2 hours ish to finish, with around 33 obstacles. Can actually finish it real fast but the waiting for one another is what dragged it so long. I was actually kind of shocked as I reached the last obstacle, thinking to myself, "Har, that's it?". To be honest a bit potong la cause I was expecting more.

Upon completion of the Extreme Challenge!

Sab the Hitman

All smiles :)

In the shuttle bus/van/vehicle that's gonna send us back

These are a few syiok sendiri shots of me.

Ze ladies ;)

Final group picture before we depart :)

Frankly, we definitely enjoyed ourselves, but to be honest, it's not as scary or as challenging as we thought it would be. Would probably come back to taste the Big Thrill, or even cycling around Bukit Cahaya - but not anytime soon :P.
