CH151: Pulau Ubin Bike Challenge

To perk up the weekend fun, I organized for CP and I to visit Pulau Ubin last Sunday. The plan was to lay off the work outs and just do a leisure bike around a nature reserve. You see, since Monday the week back, all we've done is work out.

My schedule went like:
Monday: Hot Yoga class true yoga
Tuesday: RPM class fitness first + weights
Wednesday: Cardio + Weights
Thursday: Body Combat fitness first + Weights
Friday: Cardio + Weights
Saturday: swim 20 laps

CP had almost the same routine save for Monday and Saturday.

My Sunday idea was a leisure bike through some tropical rain forest with mostly even and flat terrain. I didn't expect Pulau Ubin to be hilly and offer off road bike trails with steep climbs and steeper descents! Some even had loose gravel paths where I slipped and feel off the bike twice!

Overall, it was a good and fun and adventurous experience! Would like to try it again next time...but maybe with a helmet on. We were able to explore most of Pulau Ubin within that day. They also had wetlands with mangrove boardwalks as well as coastal boardwalks. A lot of things to do and good food to have after.

I would say that it's more of a barkada destination rather than a family one though.

CH141: Sky Dive

I don't think I've written enough of the experiences I've had in the US...

For a month long stay, I don't think 4 entries is really enough. So, here's another one. :-) An edited video from when I went skydiving! The whole video is also uploaded in my youtube account specifically meant to host these kinds of thrill adventure videos.

I edited the video because i found it a bit tacky that i should be interviewed early on. I also found the voice of the man taking the video a bit annoying. I also  found that I didn't like them putting like a 1 minute ad of Skydive San Diego in a video I paid for. They should have provided a discount given they put that video plug in!

I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did the experience. It was completely and utterly surreal and beyond words. But, like I said in my facebook album with the pictures, bungy involves more courage to overcome your fear of heights. Skydive is more about whether or not you have the money to go through with the experience - as you only need to have faith that the instructor and everything else will not fail. More trust than conquering a fear....unless of course you have a fear of trusting other people.

And because I mentioned bungy, I remembered I shared the videos and pictures from last year!
