BUNGEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Check it out!!! I bungy jumped!!!! Yeap!! Me!!! haha!!! it was super trilling... Went to Phuket for a short company trip a couple of weeks ago... when they mentioned there was bungy available... I was like.. oh yeah!! I wanna go... rounded a few colleagues who were up for it and we were all so gung ho to go... see see when we got there... the itinerary was to go bungy on the first day but then the tour guide said there wasnt enough time.. so we disappointingly thought gone were our chances....
Then on our second day after a trip to Phi Phi island they tell us we had time to go for the bungy jump... at that point all of us were already unprepared but the whole bus went to location anyway...
When we got there... everyone was looking up... where is it? usually you would imagine a platform built high up in the sky right? but then this is what we saw:

Eeeeeppsss!! What is that? It was just a crane anchored on the ground protuding outwards onto the lake... fuiyoo!! safe or not one? Then Zaqi goes to the counter and immediately ask how much? then sign-up the form and paid... I follow suit... Better to get it done then you cant think twice since you already paid.. After that we had to wait for one guy to jump then it was our turn... the guy hesitated when he was right at the top then he jumped!!! Screamed his lungs out and we think oh God.. what did we get ourselves into? Only me Zaqi signed-up.. the other 2 person who were interested were having second thoughts and wanted to see ppl jump first.... so they waited..

Then came Zaqi's turn.. he jumped and he survived....

Then it came to my turn.... they bounded each leg with some spongy thingy with velcro... hmm...tight enough or not? Is my feet to small? would it slip out? breath aichin... breath..... then they hooked me up to the rope which was attached to they little hut-liked platform lift.... then up we went!!!

It went up... up... and up... and I was thinking.... why is it not stopping yet? very high already leh... stop la... then it continued.. up... and up... and up... finally it jerked and stopped... then the guide told me to hop to the edge of the platform... Holy Cow!!! it is bloody high!!!! then he says a bit more to the edge.. I complied... then he said a bit more over the edge.. and I followed... Then he said... When I say bungy you just jump and dun think.... I looked at him incredulously... okay I said... then he said BUNGY!!! In my mind it went!! " Oh Shit oh Shit!! what did i get myself into... aiyo..jump jump la... die die la!!!" spreaded my arms and leapt off the platform.. sut my eyes for a while and opened them to see myself falling without any restraint!!!

ohhhh!!! NOOOOO!!! haha!! I didnt shout that okay... then within a split of a second you feel the rope tug hard at your legs and you bounce upwards again... and down back again.. then up again.. then down again.. then up again and then down again.. bout at least 6-7 time before the rope settles and you just hang upside down.. Only God knows why..they decided to leave me hanging for quite a bit longer than the others.... i was just staring here and there.. then finally shouted to them.. Hey!! no one wanna get me out of this? then they came to the rescue... Got my cert and a roll of film of apparently 24 shots of my jump....(unfortunately either the camera or the man was lousy... all shots were blurred.... I think it is the latter... hence why there is no pics of me.. I will try and upload the mini shots of the entire jump once i scanned it but be warned.. it will be small)...

After that my other 2 colleagued signed up too and they jumped... All in all it was a trilling experience... I really got my adrenaline pumping... Would I do it again? Hell yes!! This jump was 165ft above ground.. who knows I might get myself to New Zealand and jump and even higher height... but that is for another story.... :)
