Traveling exposes you to a variety of experiences that will leave an impact in your life. However, the travels that will make a mark in your life are those that will challenge you to come out of your comfort zone, push you to your limits and give you the thrilling satisfaction of being a Champion.

Embark on a journey that will push your limits and leave you feeling triumphant like a champion – by planning a weekend trip in Singapore.

To be a Champion you must face many experiences that life, or in this case – travel – throws at you. Be ready to face a very different environment that you are not used to, or be open to face the fears that haunt you. Tackle the tasks that will challenge all your mental and physical skills. Remember a Champion never gives up. There are many milestones that a Champion will have to endure before he or she can be rewarded the title. If you are looking to embrace the experiences of a Champion, your first task is to plan a short weekend getaway.

Singapore is the ideal choice of destination for a Champion.Not only is it just a short flight away, but it is also the host country to many events like theWTA Finals, electrifying rides at Universal Studios Singapore, adventure-driven experiences at Sentosa’s MegaZip Adventure Park and many more.

Be a Champion in Overcoming Trials

Defeat your fight against fear and reign with victory. Even the most courageous of people will have some irrational fears that they will need to overcome. No matter what it is that scares you, as a champion, it is your duty to overcome and take ownership of your fear that is preventing you to move forward in your life. There are two kinds of common fears that most people will have in their lives – fear of heights “acrophobia” and the fear paranormal activities “phasmophobia”. If you happened to be encountering one or both of these fears we have just the cure for you.

Steps to Defeat the Fear of Heights

If you happened to have acrophobia, it may become unhealthy for you over time, because it prevents you from exploring greater heights. It can rob you of the beautiful experiences and views that this world has to offer.

To conquer acrophobia you must first accept that you have this fear and then face them push away your second thoughts. To prevent yourself from backing out on something that you have set your mind to do, here are a few suggestions that will guide you to the path of becoming a Champion.

Discover the flight of your life at the Sentosa’s MegaZip Adventure Park

Instead of diving straight in and looking for the tallest building in Singapore to conquer your fear of heights, we recommend you to take a fun, light-hearted and adrenaline-rush approach.

To start off, sign up for the MegaZip experience in Singapore. At 75 meters high, 450 meters long with a heart-pounding speed of 60kmph MegaZip is the first 3-wire zip line which will allow you to experience the exhilarating and breathtaking race from the jungle canopy of Imbiah Hill to the white sands of Fox Finish Point.

After experiencing the thrill of your first MegaZip experience, try it for a second round but this time round open your eyes. Only then will you enjoy the thrill of the flight.

Beat your Paranormal Fear at the Universal Studios Singapore Halloween Horror Nights 5

For some of us, ‘Phasmophobia’ – the fear of ghosts feels very real. We experience a certain thrill of anxiety when we are told ghost stories or watch movies that feature supernatural or paranormal activities. However, Phasmophobia is also very difficult to diagnose. Most people are able to control this fear but for others, this fear can be overwhelming, life limiting and at times affect our daily life.

As a champion overcomer, the only way to work towards this fear is to dive headfirst into your biggest nightmare. Before you retaliate and throw the question, “Are you kidding me?” you need to convince yourself that these ghosts are merely fiction and a figment of your imagination. And as humans, we are capable of creating things that we struggle to understand in the first place.

To overcome this fear, it is best to get a few friends together to support you. Start off with the biggest immersive experience of this year’s Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights 5, Singapore’s only fully immersive Halloween experience that will run for 14 nights across 5 weekends, starting 2nd October 2015.

While you are at the event, keep convincing yourself that these ghosts are nothing but creative human characters created to entertain us. Who knows, instead of being scared, you may actually find it very amusing and may end up enjoying the night. Take this opportunity to find creative ways to spook your friends too while you are there.

This year’s Halloween Horror Nights 5 will be a new chapter of True Singapore Ghost Stories inspired by horror stories on the train, an epidemic-stricken HDB block, a hell house featuring effigies and experience the first ever dark house, a fortress named Tunnel People.

Be a Champion Role Model
Fostering Teamwork towards Achieving Something Greater at The Forest Adventure

Professional Tennis Champion, Caroline Wozniaki once said, “I try to be myself and of course, be a good role model. I don’t really find it hard, but you think about what you do, and that other people look up to you.” A Champion understands that it is important to influence and inspire others. And one of the ways a champion can cultivate important values into others is by fostering good teamwork.

Fostering teamwork brings many benefits for all, because not only will the champion not be walking on his journey of success alone, but he or she will also be creating a culture that will grow and work together in achieving a common goal.

A great spot for teambuilding is at Forest Adventure at Bedok, a place perfect for bonding with friends or colleagues. Offering 35 different obstacles divided into 4 individual sites, you and your friends will have the time of your lives, trying out the different courses such as the fantastic big Tarzan swing and many more.
