Skydiving..

finally did it!!!

been thinking about skydiving since long time ago after i left 4th coy, i left something which i always wanted to do.. but doing it somewhere else gives another form of perspective with a very beautiful scenery as well..

in christchurch, i managed to finally do something which i always wanted to try... at least once in my life... skydiving!!

much was anticipated... but funnily i wasnt even really nervous leading up to it... no jitters... no backing out.. just much anticipation... cant wait to get on to it.. but from the video.. i look obviously nervous... but i wasnt feeling so.. think i am not comfortable with cameras... haha

had to wake up super early in the morning to get to the dive site... changing up and waiting for the airplane took us close to 2 hours wait cos the weather is good, so lotsa people came to skydive, so we had to wait for our turn.

the flight up to 12000 feet or 4km took a pretty long time... its pretty cold actually cos of the cold new zealand air... once the sliding door opens, there was no turning back.. no chance of backing out and wanting to take the plane to ground cos obviously, everything had to go... there wasnt any time to think or get scared.. cos immediately u are out... the only thing u can hope for is the parachute is working... otherwise just enjoy the experience... just enjoy the scenery... which was breathtaking with all the mountains and greenery in view.. exhilarating experience.

i had the luxury of meeting Miro, who allowed me to control the parachute until the last part where he had to do the landing... superb jump!!! i love it actually.. i wanna do it again...
