the wedding band
we got our wedding band today ! woohoo !!
he asked me.. is it a rash decision?
me: pumpkin, this is the 3rd shop. i dont think its a rash decision?
🙂
the rings will be ready for collection next weekend!
oh, the rings are engraved with our names.
couldnt stop smiling when i saw him put on the ring. awww…
the nice lady at the shop recommend me to take size 10. Size 11 is too loose for me coz she noticed the diamond ring i’m wearing spins around. pumpkin is size 19.
wow ! so excited about our wedding bands !!

forest adventure !
pumpkin’s mummy .. ”wah, she like this kinda adventure ? she’s so small size! cant tell!”
its my always -wanted but somewhere along the grand course..
i asked myself: why, minying? why?? so adventurous !! look! this is tough !!
hahaa
ta-dah !
forest adventure ! i been talking abt this for ages and finally, been there, done that !
we got the tix from insing.com ! promotion 50% off the regular price !! woohoo !
3 days later, we make our way there !
long long journey ! west to bedok !
we are like the country-pumpkin ! our first time at bedok reservoir ! 🙂
*so nice !
*boardwalk !
*dont be fool by this peaceful-looking picture. the park is packed with NJC students.
*the ladio play a britney spears song and i started singing .. ‘Oh, baby baby..’ keke
*blue sky, sunshine, breeze, pumpkin.. life is full.
*here we are !
*we gotta zip across this !
*last photo !
gotta wait for pumpkin’s friend for photos.
so, what happened next?
register, short trip to the locker area, put on the helmet / harness and off we go for our briefing.
we are surprised that the instructor DO NOT follow us through the course. listen to the instructions very carefully or you will end up like me.. pumpkin shouted at me a few times for not ‘attaching’ myself properly. he get very nervous & jumpy when he realised i didnt follow the safety procedure. i wasnt being notti or lazy.. i just forgot. it scared him.. sorry pumpkin, to make you worried.
there are 4 sites and all the sites end off with a zip across the reservoir.
it’s tough. the grand course.
both physically & mentally demanding, the wind, the height (2-3 storey), climbing.. my height put me at a disadvantage !
i dropped out at site 4. really.. i cant make it. i was very very tired.
site 3 was a killer. wait for the photos and i’ll explain !
my arms ached. my hands hurt. my legs are tired. and i bumped my head a couple of times !
thank you kervin for not pushing me at the last site. i know he’s a little disappointed that i didnt complete the course.
do i regret? nope.
through this course, i realised i am not as tough as i think i am.
but i am proud to completed 3/4 of the course.
i am proud of myself when i leap off the platform and zip across. alone.
*pleased *
