Sasuke Singapore Stage 1

And so Chian San managed to squeeze into the 100 selected for the actual finals for Singapore's first ever Ninja Warrior, aka Sasuke! So happy for him. At least it gave me a chance to witness the real thing. I went down to support him and so did his ex-colleague, Alvin, who was there during the qualifiers as well. I'm pretty sure we'll be on TV if the producers decided to feature our few seconds captured by the camera as his supporters. We waited for an eternity at Palawan Beach, Sentosa, where the obstacle course was built. It was only after 1.5 hours before the first participant got onto stage. Supposed to start at 1pm but ended up at 2:30pm then they started zzz.

Joanne Peh was the host of these TV series. She had to endure the scorching sun to do the filming. It was really fricking hot. Hardly any clouds at all.

It's the REAL Ninja Warrior obstacle course right in Singapore's Sentosa island!


Obstacle 1: Sextuple Step

Obstacle 2: Jump Hang

Obstacle 3: Halfpipe Attack

Obstacle 4: Warped Wall, Obstacle 5: Tarzan Rope + Rope Ladder

The whole obstacle course looks awesome!

Joanne Peh live in person.

CS doing his ninja pose!

Chian San sprained his ankle at the second obstacle when he was testing on the trampoline. And that spells the end of his attempt at Ninja Warrior glory. He managed to jump again on the trampoline and even touched the ropes but couldn't hold on to it. Even if he did manage to hang on, his ankle wouldn't allow him to finish the course. Haizzz...

Nevertheless it was a very good attempt. Most people fail at the trampoline cos they did not know how to utilize it properly. Let's go again for the next season! WOOHOO!

Catch CS and Me (maybe) on Channel 5 Sasuke Singapore!
