I am seriously sick of people complaining how boring or lousy Singapore is. I am not wearing rose tinted glasses here, I am still suffering from Shanghai withdrawal symptoms now as I type, but ..... let's be fair guys, it might not be cool to sing "Stand Up for Singapore", it ain't all that bad.
(Especially when you have just been to a place where all shops are closed after 6pm and the only place that you can go to is the supermarket...........I digress )
Next up on our list of activities, would be to challenge our old bones to rock climbing at Safra Yishun. Unfortunately, none of us was certified to be safe to be climbing outdoors yet. But this is something that we all plan to change in the coming month.
For about slightly more than S$10 each, we attempted the Canopy walk instead. I might be tall, well built like a mini bus right now, but inside, i'm a cowering puppy when it comes to heights.
The Canopy walk comes with four different bridges. You will attempt to cross these bridges with no help / tips / advice at all from the instructor and with only a safely harness protecting you from the four storeys distance from the ground below.
Amazingly, I did not fall at all. I just breathed hard, concentrated and prayed like crazy.... Well, one more thing to add to my list of how much I can do if pushed slightly .. :)
There was an indoor rock climbing room for beginners included in our package. Rock climbing is a tad harder than just pushing and pulling. To be continued...
