My favourite yet most challenging activity in @clubmedbintan - The Static Trapeze!
The first time I tried it was five years back as a mum of two and let's just say I've grown much more after giving birth to the third. So I felt very doubtful about whether I could even pull myself up or stay put in a hanging position and not fall. Was it easy? Of course... not. I've always been impressed by trapeze acrobats and I've realised it takes such skill, strength and willpower to master any of the tricks.
So happy I had a chance to try this out and you should know that I was very determined to succeed. Haha. After all, the hubby was watching and he went before me. If he could do it, so could I! While the first two poses (one arm one leg and bird's nest) were relatively easy, the last couple of tricks were difficult, even for the men. I told the circus crew Susan that I wasn't sure if I had the strength to pull myself to a sitting position on the trapeze but she assured me I could and encouraged me to try my best. And I did. Thank you, Susan!
The last mermaid position was challenging and she had to remind me to make sure my bum was on the bar when I leaned backwards, if not I would lose my balance and fall. Well, the bar was thin and not only was it hard and awkward to sit on, it was also way too small for the bum of this mum of 3. Lol. So I was stuck for a while but eventually managed to do it and still posed for one last shot while sitting on the bar with my hands lifted up. Yay!
Hope to try this out again the next time we visit and the next, next and every visit in the future.
P.S. The girls were in the Kids Club but they came over at the last couple of minutes and saw me doing the last trick. Ariel said "I don't even know if I can do what you did" and Angel said "You did well, Mama." Awwww. Thanks girls, of course the two of you will do a better job than me. I have no doubt about that. Glad we all love the trapeze!
