skydiving 2005

went tandem skydiving on 18 aug 05 with edy, megan and kabei. what an exhilarating ride...

our chopper


getting ready for the jump


my tandem master, aleks. looks a little like sean connery, no? he's from latvia and speaks russian.


the sensation of free falling through the sky was indescribable. there was definitely fear. of falling endlessly with nothing to hold on to. we were rushing down into the rain and it felt like many pins on the face.

then parachute is opened. a slight jerk. sailing smoothly down. mesmerizing skyline of singapore. spinning down, down, down, a little dizzy now.

over all too soon...

some pics of megan's jump:
