Up up and away!

I'm generally not a morning person. No matter how hard I try to reset my body clock. So if I wake up at my own will at 7am, something big's about to happen on that day.

For me yesterday, that big thing was Jump Street. I'd planned to go with 3 of my primary schoolmates and a friend from high school and I had been excited about it for daysss. I picked out my outfit the night before, packed my essentials in an old bag (handbag's too pretty for Jump Street), and tried to coax myself to sleep (excitement kept me up till almost 2am). I felt sooo much like a kid.

On normal days, if I had to wake up at 7am I'd go in the shower with only one eye open. But yesterday I woke up before my alarm went off and showered straight away, already excited to start my day. I took just a short time to get ready – okay la fine, I didn't have to dress up and do my makeup (but to be frank I did neaten up my eyebrows a bit haha) – and then drove to Najat's house 'cause we were all carpooling with her to PJ.

It was quite confusing to find the place but we got there not long after it had just opened, so not many people were there yet. We started jumping at the main court first and I was bouncing here and there and everywhere like a frog. Oh my God. It was sooo much fun and after a while I felt like I was floating in the air. Farah was just jumping calmly and doing her thing while Najat & Nana tried to do jumping jacks on the trampoline which was so funny to watch. It wasn't long before everyone pancit and after all of us have caught our breath, we headed off to the dodgeball court.

Utter chaos, I tell you. I could only sempat to grab a ball before I bounced (literally) away while screaming sebab takut kena attack. I just survived one round of dodgeball after which I surrendered and sat outside the court to see my girl friends getting attacked by Adib. Man, I wish I had popcorn.

Then we headed to the foam pit section. I saw one of the referees doing a flip there and I thought it might be fun to try. Adib jumped first, did a flip and then fell flat on the cube sponges. Farah decided there and then that she wasn't going in because getting out of the foam wouldn't be easy. It looked pretty easy to me, so I tried to give it a shot. I jumped forever on the trampoline and when I thought I'd gathered enough courage to do a flip, I launched myself off the platform and tried to roll myself into a ball.......

but I chickened out as soon as my body curled forward and I flailed in the air before landing face first and went missing amidst the sea of sponges. Not the prettiest sight. Nana tried too and her fate was the same as mine. Unfortunately. Hahahaha. Then I tried to jump a second time with Najat (I refused to jump forward at first and the referee was like "Do you want me to push you?!" which obviously made me scream) but both of us just landed pathetically in the pit and had to dig our way out of the sponges. What a bunch of losers. Hahaha.

Needless to say, by the end of it we were all exhausted and hungry from all the frogging around. Nevertheless it was such great fun and a really nice break from all the makeup, heels, malls, brunches and everything else that we always do to hang out. Besides, the place lets you unleash your inner toddler for a legit reason and I don't see why it's not a good idea. And you only need to pay RM20 (plus RM4.50 if you don't already have the socks). I think it's a brilliant idea. Anyway, time for photos!














So much love for these people, it's crazy.
