e silence, peacefulness of e air!
woohoo! e feel is so so so shiok!!!!
this is really what 'bird's eye view' really mean

and off we go!!!!!!
e most most most thrilling part is sitting at the door, with my leg hanging in e air. e part when Bob started to "shake" back n forth, and off e plane we went. THATS e MOST THRILLING part. e moment i got OFF the plane into free fall.
free fall from 12,ooofeet at 200km/h, at terminal velocity.
-12 degrees

up up up we go! up to 12,000feet.
e anticipation was almost "killing" me! but had a great time in e plane. being entertained by my cool photography/video man, Evan (see that hand there? that's his) & funky instructor, Bob (that guy behind me, obviously. hehe)

thats my plane! MY plane!

ok! all geared up in my suit! all ready to do!
but wait, pet talk and final check by my instructor, Bob, that everything's good. before we're all set to go! off into my plane.

while waiting for the moment of truth to arrive! =p
the while "building" is e office!
i thot i will be scared or nervous, but i seem to be more excited as i looked ard exploring e place.
weather was perfect. for me!

12th apr
the time has come! time for terminal velocity.
e process/period of deciding if i should really do this was up n down, up n down! it wasnt easy finally deciding to do it!
but so glad i did it! no regrets at all!
