Week 10 of BMT, Saturday, 15th November...
I...don't know what to say. Today, I came FACE TO FACE with one of the greatest fear of my life - fear of heights. Let me rank the 11 individual obstacles of SOC according to their difficult in my opinion, when not wearing anything.
1. Low Wall - Basically jump over a wall... --> 2
2. Parallel Bars - Bloody difficult...Use your arm power to go over 2 bars --> 3
3. Step Over - You step on a wood, then jump over some concertina wires... --> 2
4. Swing Trainer - Monkey Bars... --> 3
5. Low Rope - Climb up and touch the metal...screw this! --> 4
6. Horizontal Log - Basically it's a log...and you kind of support and leap over it... --> 2
7. Swinging Bridge - Bo liao stuff...looks like playground to me... --> 1
8. Balancing Beam - Ahhhhhh! I'm going to faint... --> 4
9. Gate - You rest your hand on the top pole, gripped the bottom pole and "flip" to the other side --> 2
10. Jacob's Ladder - Oh my god... --> 5
11. Low Ramp - Wee! --> 2
Jacob's Ladder is the ultimate horror -_-...really cannot take it. Like what the PTI said, the first 5 is testing your strength, and last 6 is to test your confidence. How come it seems so easy when he did the Jacob Ladder but I just can't bring myself to walk over it. Walking up was still ok, but the step at the peak is really...horrifying. Ok I admit it I'm a *****...
I did manage to overcome the fear a little bit at the end. The PTI made me walk up to the fourth step, then walk down again. Walk up to 5th, then walk down again. Even then, I'm still very fearful of that ladder. The Balancing Beam comes next...feels especially giddy when you look down...And of course the so called "most difficult obstacle", the Low Rope. No strength to go up, haha.
