Saturday morning and afternoon was spent on the island of Jerejak. =)

While waiting for the ferry...
Early morning hunger pangs had to be squelched.

And this is how you eat from a maggi cup.
Observe her style and poise.

And of course, cameras were handy tools while we waited.

First event of the day. =D

Arrow and the safety gears.
We each had 5 tries to land an arrow on the board.

Before.

After.
My arrow hit the black ring. =D
*clappity clap*

Mummy's turn. =)

Behold the Wall of Terror!
The outer walls are for beginners and the middle two are for pro climbers.

A very eager mummy. Hahaa. =)

Spider Women in training.
The guys reached the top in a flash. Almost as if they've had had some sort of training before hand. Hmph. Guys. =P
Whereas us girls slowly picked our way up the colored footholds and handholds with help from the guide.

A lot of us reached the top in an euphoric state. Yes yes, there was a definite burn in the upper arms. Dunno about the guys, but i think us girls felt our limbs turning into jell-o towards the top.

The must-have pictures to prove that we were successful in our climb. =)
Then came the descent.

Felt like a mini version of the Genting Solero Shot.

If you would like a serious butt-numbing, lactic acid-inducing workout session under the scorching sun, then i suggest you go for the bicycle ride. You will definitely feel the loveeeee. Trust me. =D
The track was looongggggg and bumpy. No proper roads, just sand, gravel, rocks and...other unidentifiable stuff.

At the end of the bicycle trail was this dilapidated, unused jetty.

And the former prison.
We cycled almost halfway around the island to see this two things. -.-

After that loooong ride to and back from the old jetty came something less exhausting.

But before we got to the firefox starting point, we first had to cross...
The Swaying Bridge of Doom!
XD

We meet again, safety harness.

WWHHHHHHEEEEEEEEE!!

And some more photos for proof. XD

I think the games section of Jerejak is seriously understaffed. There were only 3 guys manning the entire area. They don't have a fixed station but instead, they only go to the stations when people are there to play.
Imagine, one of them could possibly have a day like this :
Archery-->Firefox-->Rock Climbing-->Firefox-->Archery-->Firefox-->Rock Climbing--> and so forth

Anyway, after all that sweating, these two were still game for some very animated rounds of ping and pong before heading home. The rackets and ball were provided, which i thought was very nice. =) also which i was amazed at cause people didn't 'accidentally' take the equipments back with them...fully knowing how our people can sometimes be...not so courteous.

Once back home, it was time to recharge the batteries.

And that's it. Summary of half a day at Jerejak. =)
