The boys wanted a break from the gym, and G1 promised to do laps at the pool so I decided to join them as well. They say you should shake things up a bit and vary your exercise routine so your body doesn’t get a chance to adapt. It is also a good way toContinue reading “Lapping it up at the Pool”

Jungle Babes in the Saddle
The Flycycle neophyte is back in the saddle. This time, in the company of Babes. Jungle Babes, to be precise. Or would that make us Flycycle Babes since we’ve traded our hiking boots for a pair of cleated shoes? I must confess that I am grateful for the camaraderie because I struggle to find theContinue reading “Jungle Babes in the Saddle”
Zumba Babes at a Charity Zumbathon
One of our very own Jungle Babes organised a Zumbathon charity event at MyTown Shopping Center in support of those fighting the battle against cancer.

Spartan Babes in Training
#challengeaccepted The Jungle Babes have accepted the challenge. 2018 will be the year we become Spartan Babes. But we will not be rushing headlong into the race unprepared.

Back to Damai with the Rockrats
It was a partial Rockrats reunion with Holdbreaker and Moo Moo Girl when I went back to Damai for the third time in more than a decade. It looked like those two never left the wall, the way they breezed up their routes so effortlessly. For me, it felt like I was finally starting toContinue reading “Back to Damai with the Rockrats”
Mech-Warriors in Cross-Training
After reading Spark, I decided it was high time that I took the boys’ physical training to the next level. Our focus for G1 was to improve his overall fitness for health reasons because he’s been allergic to physical exertion since he was little. For G2, I was inspired to build his physical fitness afterContinue reading “Mech-Warriors in Cross-Training”
The Return to Gua Damai
The return to Gua Damai saw the Babes working on a few more routes that brought back fond memories. I always thought Redemption Song was the multipitch with a ledge, but according to the old topo of Damai, this is it. I remember the route well because I have an old picture of me standing inContinue reading “The Return to Gua Damai”
Jungle Babes Take on SkyTrex Extreme
After nailing the Big Thrill at Skytrex Shah Alam, the Jungle Babes decided it was time to up the ante and take on the Extreme Challenge… Skytrex Extreme Challenge These were the obstacles on the extreme challenge that we had to face (some were repeated so it worked out to be about 26 obstacles inContinue reading “Jungle Babes Take on SkyTrex Extreme”
Jungle Babes in the Sky
SkyTrex has been on the “to do” list for some time but due to various reasons, it took us about a year to finally plan our first trip. After much debate and baseless concerns involving comments about diapers, we finally settled for the Big Thrill – the intermediate challenge. Although why all the worry inContinue reading “Jungle Babes in the Sky”
Jungle Babes on the Rocks
Last Sunday, the Jungle Babes went rock climbing. For some of the group, it was their very first time climbing. For me, it was my first time back at Gua Damai in over 10 years. It’s funny how the memories of a place can make you feel. As I pulled up my car into theContinue reading “Jungle Babes on the Rocks”
