Bona Fide Bungee Jumper

If you’ve been reading my blog for some time, you probably know how obsessed I am with bungee jumping. I’d been aching to try it ever since I saw a TV feature on it more than a decade ago but hadn’t yet been given the chance — until this month.

You read it right, I finally bungee jumped! I flew all the way to Macau just to leap 233 meters off the Macau Tower, which is currently the world’s highest bungee jump. I loved it so much that as soon as I touched down, I ran back up and did it again. Look at the sheer glee on my face! It’s the most addicting thrill.

Bungee jumping at the Macau Tower

Here’s a video of my two jumps. First I did a classic swan dive, albeit a not-so-pretty one, then a back dive, which I found even more exciting.

Brunch with Bimbos

I’m crazy about breakfast food. I could live on it alone — heck, I practically do, considering that the extent of my cooking skills involves boiling eggs and pouring cereal into a bowl — so any restaurant that serves breakfast all day is all right in my book.

One such restaurant is the newly opened Wild Honey at Mandarin Gallery on Orchard Road. I met up there with a few friends on the morning of New Year’s Eve to celebrate the end of 2009 with the Yummiest Brunch in the History of Brunches™.

Fine, it wasn’t the yummiest, but it was still pretty darn good. I have the pictures to prove it:

Classic New York breakfast

Every bite I took of this bagel made my eyes roll back into my head in sheer bliss. I tried my best not to make too many obscene noises out of consideration for all the other people trying to eat their own breakfast in peace.

Vacations Are Good for the Soul

I recently took a much-needed break from work to go on a short trip to Cebu with some old friends. Let me tell you, it did my soul good. When I got back to Singapore, at least five different people told me I was glowing. Here are some highlights from our vacation:

Lara Croft moment

We threw ourselves off a bunch of waterfalls. Calling all thrill seekers! If you ever visit Cebu, you have to go canyoning at Montaneza Falls. You probably can’t tell, but that’s me throwing a peace sign while rappelling down a 100-foot waterfall. Pardon my French, but it felt fucking fantastic.

G-max Reverse Bungy

My F1-crazy friend, Chrissa, came to Singapore to watch the night race last September. While she was here, we jumped at the chance to get flung into the air on the G-max Reverse Bungy ride at Clarke Quay. We loved it! A couple of lessons learned:

  • Go at night to avoid being roasted in the sun.
  • Wear pants instead of a miniskirt.

Below is a video of our ride. The scream you’ll hear during the release came from the guy holding the camera :P

We also went on the tamer GX-5 Xtreme Swing, but we unfortunately didn’t manage to get a video of that.

F1 for All the Wrong Reasons

Despite not being a Formula 1 fan, I will be watching the F1 Singapore Grand Prix in September. One of my friends, who is a fan, convinced me to go with her, the bulk of her argument being “It’s the first-ever F1 night race! Pretty please with sugar on top? I will pay for half your ticket!”

This friend is also an avid fan of slash. See below an excerpt from the IM conversation I had with her about our plans for the GP.

Me: Are we going to wear special fangirl outfits?

F1 slasher friend: I wanted to wear a Ralf/JPM OTP shirt. Too bad JPM isn’t in F1 anymore.

Me: Can we still wear those? It can say “I’m old-school.” in smaller letters at the bottom.

FSF: I’m gonna have one made right now. O_O

Me: Yay!

FSF: Maybe people would stay away from us then.

Me: My coworker and her boyfriend will be there, too. We can meet up with them… Unless they’re too embarrassed to be seen with us.

FSF: Ask them if they’d like t-shirts!

Me: Ooh, YES.

FSF: Her boyfriend can wear “I watch F1 for the buttsecks.”

Me: I’m sooo posting this conversation on my blog.
