AXN Big Challenge is here....

The AXA AFFIN Health is Might AXN Big Challenge is here! Is it a copy cat of the Amazing Race? No! This Big Challenge is a league of its own. Expects lots of fun, excitement and laughter as we see it on AXN - think CSI, So you Think You Can Dance and Hawaii Five O. And as the name suggest, it’s no longer only about fitness and physical strength. Throughout the race, teams would be challenged on aspects such as their mental wellbeing, positive outlook, teamwork and knowledge on nutritional health.

I was at the launch of the AXA AFFIN Health is Might AXN Big Challenge and had a little taste of what to expect in the actual event. Here's us girls with our shaky hands and legs after our rock climbing session at Camp 5.

And obviously with the fun I had experienced with some other fellow media pals, I rope Jo - my running, kick boxing, eating, doggie and Spyder buddy into it. Register online http://www.axn-asia.com/axnbigchallenge/malaysia. And we're registered as team Dipaksa Datang. Let's hope we get chosen:D

Only 150 teams will be chosen to battle it out for the chance to win up to RM29,000 worth of total cash prizes:

• 1st Prize – RM15,000
