Skydiving!

It's my birthday and I had decided to go something dangerous and pump with adrenaline for my last 2x birthday. Since I refuse to do bungy jumping, the next closest I can think of is skydiving.

unfortunately, its all weather dependant for this sport and today aint the brightest and sunniest day you can find in winter. We just have to go and give it a try.

There is a lot of preparation work to do before hand. Because I am doing a tandem(meaning the guy who knows it all will jump off the plane "carrying" you), the instructor had to show me what are my "tasks", like lifting up my legs when we land and having a banana shape after we jump off the plane. We had to practice that for a few times to get familar. Next is to put on the gear....not the most stylish wear you can get.



The photos from here onwards required an additional fee of hundred ++ (can't remember). Because i'm getting it all capture in DVD, I get an additional person to go into the plane and all she does is to have a great time and take pictures and videos of me. How cool is such job???

the best part i reckon is the free falling, which only last about 7-10secs, trust me....it feels like my face is being massage by 10000hands!!!!
Thumbs up!!! .............................. Great landing!
















How can we forget about Craig. He's taking his lessons on how to jump.





That's Craig landing, see how dark the sky is.
And yes, i'm a happy birthday girl :)
