there were2 things I wanted to do badly when I left for US
one, to see Niagara Falls and
two, to skydive

Carol say Carol do. and when u have money, things just happen.

One of the security guards in our Park offered to drive a group of us down to Niagara Falls, HOW NICE right? That proves how nice US people are, anyway, so heres him..

Kai, he is so sturdy we can just sleep our way in the car

hate them cause i didnt bring my shades! pang seh loh

stopping by dunkin donuts for a break

here we areeee, after 5 freaking hours



impressive

from far away
basically i was kinda disappointed, i thought i would be brought to some ulufied places and have to climb some rocks before i can see the impressive falls, but it was oh so commercialised, they make the whole place into a huge park, sigh sigh, see lah. the damage tourism can do to natural beauty..just too bad im a tourist too ahahahha.

OH MY GOD

1 and a half minute of free fall

and im really flyinnng
stupid, the pressure so distorted my face

clouds at my feet, muahahaha


beauutiiful





it was a really really really peaceful feeling, a very quiet atmosphere, it was as if i felt i didnt existed in the world at all. absolute nothingness.

pulling the cord at 6000 feet
and i totally hate the part after this, SO dizzy!

me in the sky, heng i got nice parachute color ahah

landing

i felt so touched when i landed, and its just a feeling i cant really describe, a feeling i never felt before, a very very very accomplished feeling, its like suddenly, im very contented with everything i had, and like nothing else except that moment mattered to me.

i was soooo happy, like truly truly happy


the 3 of us like armageddon sia

we did it!

the group

with instructor Deves and MY certificate


have we been not out of our mind to bomb money into jumping out of the plane?

oh who cares, we sure did it. and it was hell lots of fun
