It's official!!!! I am crazy!!!

Today, Susie, Michelle, Maggie, Taylor, Missy and I went to Sentosa Island, this wonderful resort that has many beaches and different activities such as surfing, zipline etc... We arrived at Sentosa around midday and went to Siloso Beach. There are three different beaches in Sentosa and we felt that we got the best deal by choosing Siloso Beach, which was the relaxing beach. After many of us got suntans and we all enjoyed the beach, we decided to walk further to find the fun activities such as kayak and surf.

As we walk closer to the kayak and surf area, we discovered that the zipline was close by. Honestly, by that point, I was not sure about whether I wanted to do the zipline or not. I have this strange phobia for height. However, while debating I remembered what I had promised myself at the beginning of 2010.

2010 has humbled me. I do not know how long I have left on Earth. I used to frequently say "I have time to do this or that". Unfortunate events proved that I do not know how long I will be alive and thus I better live for the present. Take risks, have fun and stop rationalizing everything!!!! Once I remembered that, I decided to go on the zipline. I was joined by Michelle and Susie who wanted to give the zipline in Singapore a try. We got our tickets, were driven to the top of this mountain, got our gears on and took stairs up to this tall tower. It is only then I realized how tall this thing was. See for yourself!!!!

No need to say that I started doubting myself. It seems scary to me that I had to first go down this rope but before I could even go down I had to wait one minute with my feet in the air before this thing speeds down with me.

I thought that it was also weird that we were allowed to bring our camera with us on our descent. I am thinking to myself: do they really think I can take a picture while going down this thing?

Well it was finally our turn to go down the zipline. The waiting was scary. I am thinking of all the different things that could go wrong with my rope. I am also thinking if I do fall down, how exactly do I want to fall down. Like I have control on that!!! But I went down the rope. The trajetory was smooth and in fact, was one of the best time of my life. (Another one was at King Dominion's last year with Stephanie). I actually went down, snapped pictures while going down. See Susie with her Peter Pan pose in the air. We arrived safely on the other island and I am happy that I have lived another day of my life to the fullest.
