At last, the day had arrived. All the adventurous trainees in D'Jelapang camp had waited for this moment since the day we sat for the briefing. Some were excited as they finally had this particular chance to experience what is flying-fox and abseiling are all about. Some were afraid as they have to take off from from a building which is about 4 storey tall. For me, i have mixed feelings. I was both excited and scared. Happy because I finally had the chance to experience flying-fox. Scared because i have to jump down from a 4 storey building..jpg)
On the 3rd of March 2009, my company's members got ourselves ready to experience flying-fox. Since my camp doesn't get any verification that flying-fox is safe to be played, we had to go to another camp to play. Therefore, we went to UUM Sintok camp to play flying-fox and abseiling. We get prepared at about 8 a.m. The shuttle needed about 40 minutes to reach UUM Sintok camp. By the time we reached there, we were quite astonished. This tower was even taller than we can imagined! 
The trainers picked 20 guys to do flying-fox first. I was the quite lucky guy as i was in that group. Wearing the safety gears was quite difficult as i haven't war it before. Nevertheless, i managed to pull it through. At that time, my heart beat was increasing minute by minute. I was getting more and more nervous. Should I do it or should I just see people do it? Finally, I decided to do it although i was still very nervous..jpg)
After we wore all the safety gears, we were set to go. We have to climbed up to the 5th floor to play flying-fox. Upon reaching the bottom of the tower, we have to sign some kind of document which i am not too sure what it is all about. After that, we started to walk up to the top floor. When we reached the top, we have to line-up for final inspection before we were being hanged to the steel rope. When we were ready, the trainers gave us a push and we were on our way down. That feeling is rather hard to be explained by words. For short, it was a really enjoying experience. .jpg)

That feeling is rather hard to be explained by words. For short, it was a really enjoying experience. After the flying-fox, it was the abseiling. We have to take off our flying-fox safety gear and put on the abseiling gear. Again, we have to sign an unknown document. After the trainers inspected our safety gear, we went up to the 4th floor this time. This time, two ropes were attached to our safety gear. One is the rope to be hold when we were on our way down and another rope is the safety rope. Going down was rather a tiring process. Nevertheless, it was still a one of a lifetime experience for me.
After that, we had our lunch at the same area. The meal served was quite ok as it was chicken rice. Ater that, we went back to our camp. I really hope that i have the chance to play flying-fox again.
