Sign me up for the next Circus in Town

Caught up with the girls at Quarter Twenty One - have been meaning to patron for ages but never had an occasion to. Well we managed to get a booking so we thought the heck with special occasions.

Pork knuckle, skate fish, wagyu beef, mushroom gnocchi, view from above, berry souffle and UFO creme brulee

Definitely a good night out - part of the ultimate dining experience would include the amazing company.

Also the sis is finally back after being separated for a month and a half. Yay!! So we did a lil catch up with the other best friend at a new place - St Jude's. 

Really cool cafe and crowd. Z's actually doing the promo shots for it! *proud of him*

Addiction, danishes, omelets and benedict and sweet corn fritters. Yum yum

I apologize for the food pics that makes you salivate especially at this hour of the night. I get it too.

Not forgetting the outfits of day shots - just because...

In trying to maintain the balance of the insane intake of food and the deterring of our ever-increasing waistlines, this is what we resolved to doing just this past weekend:

 

Abs crunches on suspended bar.

 Hahaha - clearly NOT exciting enough to earn a post.
However Mr. Washboard abs might just do :)

We actually went for trapeze lessons at Olympic Park. Sis got some tickets off Groupon so we finally decided on a day to actually experience some high flying!!

 On arrival we inducted on how to get on the bar and hang off our knees and how to swing off it - well more like rushed through it really - because barely 5 minutes into the explanation and with no demonstration, the instructor urged us to head to the ladder and up on the platform god-knows-how-many-stories high!!! 

The peeps and I were freaking out in our heads!! Like WHAT?? That's it?? No safety warnings or psych/pep talking??!! HELP??!! Starts making up end of world/death scenarios induced by fear of heights and being suspended mid air.

But we puffed our chests and man-ed up and went up the damn ladder anyways just because we didn't want to give in to vomiting and shitting in our pants!!

 Not feeling like the king of the world up there...

 So here is a video of my first try - Success!! Obviously - but be warned - I am highly annoying here with the incessant "You got me?" and high pitched shrieks. 

Not to bad for my first ever attempt, no? Heh
Could not let go of the bar initially cos I was scared for my life!!

So after 3 more practices, and with waayy more confidence, we all managed to complete a full catch!! Yay!!

The high adrenalin rush is the most amazing feeling in the world!! Loves. Will surely go back for more!! Once I've recovered from shoulder stiffness and sore arms and random bruises that is.

Also, I have one last video of  someone who would not let me live through the next dawn should she ever be named (though you could probably guess anyways)...



 For your viewing pleasure:

She did try!!! And try she did indeed :)

Xx, M.

 

P/S: I apologize for the crappy video quality. Dang compressing of videos. Better ones next time.
