Tandem Paramotor Adventure

I recently had the opportunity to accompany one of our corporate clients to go for Tandem Paramotor Experience. I have been for the experience few times (I even accompanied the DiGi Scratch and Win Prepaid Golden Ticket winners to do this experience with Lisa Surihani since our corporate team organised everything for them) but I'm kiasu like that. Haha! I just love the outdoors and anything that is to do with flight and flying, I am always up for it.... and also, as usual, I always get to do the experience :)

The first thing that I noticed when we arrived. Oh the paramotor. 

Did you know paramotors are not only used for flying but also as a swing.


Yup, if you tie the fan on the tree, you can sit on it like swing. (below)


 After our safety briefing, we were ready to take off. A picture below where we attached the parachute to the paramotor (below)
 We were lucky because the weather that day was amazing. Wind was perfect and we didnt have to wait long before our clients went for the ride.
 And off they go! (below)

Sepang Go Kart

 I am a self proclaimed petrol head who loves everything fast especially cars. I was extremely excited when I got to accompany our corporate client for their corporate go kart experience in Sepang.
 

I arrived so early that the Sepang Kart Circuit was not even opened yet. I could see go-karts ready for us from outside and decided to climb in - hopefully I can take the kart for a few rounds before our corporate client arrives.
  
 

But I changed my mind after getting stucked half way. So, I decided to call our go-kart experience partner to tell him that I arrived early and if he could come a little earlier to open the gates for me. And fortunately, he was happy to come earlier to meet me.

Our go-kart experience partner is obviously in a good mood. He noticed that I am an avid Formula One fan and gave me a private tour of Sepang International Circuit. Some pictures of the circuit below:






 
I was even offered to drive my car in but I was too shy to say yes. Maybe next time.
