I would be posting about the trip later. Arrghhhh, Uni starts tomorrow!
Now for Nevis, 5 of us (out of the total of 7 who went to NZ) did the Nevis Bungy. Yeah, it's my first time doing one. There were many options but we opted for the highest one which is the Nevis Bungy which is set near Frankston, NZ.
It's a huge canyon, really awesome place. A cable platform hanged in the middle of the canyon and was 134 m high up. We were all nervous. Very nervous.
Being on the platform itself is already scary, but jumping off it knowing that there is no safety net at the bottom but just a shallow stream was not quite comforting.
While, I was being suited up... my mind was racing. I felt like backing out as I was the first one to be called out to do the jump.
As I stood at the edge of the platform, looking down, I was like "WHAT THE ****?!!??!"
Next thing I was off the platform and a few seconds later, halfway falling towards the river.
I was being toyed around like a rag doll after the first few recoils.
I then hang on my dear life on that thick latex cable, hoping it won't break due to my 'increased' weight as they pull me up with a metal mechanism. =P
Overall the bungy was awesome, but it would be awhile till I decide to go for another dive in Macau *233 m high* but the Macau Tower has a huge balloon safety thing at the bottom (throws out the 'fear factor') and the scenery at the area isn't as nice as Nevis.
Ready to go!3....................

Hi Ming, heard that you had a few seconds of black-out on the way down. Why you want to spend money and torture yourself??
Nah, it wasn't a blackout. When I jumped, my head just went blank, wasn't thinking about anything during the 1st few seconds of the drop.
Well, I think its money well spent and it wasn't a torture. Heard this phrase: 'face your fears'?
It's a once in a lifetime thing.
=D
Bungee jumpers have been known to break their spines, if not their necks. People with heart problems and hypertension can die of fright bungee jumping. It is an extreme sport.
Extreme sports require extreme ppl to do it. And that extreme 'someone' is me!
Extreme moron lol
