See Me Fly

Free Fall Into Paradise - This is one of my life's most memorable experiences.

I was in New Zealand somewhere in November 2007. Me and my friends traveled from North Island to South Island in 14 days. We did everything we could possibly do - black water rafting, white water rafting, mountain biking, zorb, swoop, jet ride, glacier walk, bob sledging, hiking and of course the famous bungee jumping.

When we arrived in Queenstown, I decided to try sky diving - something that I've always wanted to do in life. I thought to myself: Where will be a better place to sky dive if it is not in New Zealand ? It's pretty obvious why I say that, simply because New Zealand is one of the most beautiful country with a fantastic scenery.

I asked my friends if they were interested. One of them is but unfortunately he had been suffering the after effect of a shoulder dislocation since his bungee jumping session. So at the end of the day, I am the only one into sky diving.

Doing alone sucks but that did not stop me from doing it. The best part is I never regretted it. In fact, I am thankful and happy that I did it, alone. It gave me a sense of achievement - something that I did but none of my friends did, something I did that is my story to tell but not anyone else. Something so great that cannot be described with words...

Hence, I would like to share some of those special moments here...

isn't this a magnificant view ? ...The Paradise

here we go... the leap into the sky

i'm flying...

ah...the feeling of free fall...

For that mere 45 seconds of free fall... I have felt the most wonderful feeling ever. You can feel yourself surrounded by the wind and the clouds, looking down on the mountains, feeling yourself floating in air, feeling yourself flying in the sky...

Fix You

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And I...

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And I...

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Isn't this song beautiful ? Everytime when I hear this song, it always brings back the sweet memory of a dance performed by Kate Wormald and Graeme Isaako, choreographed by Debbie Ellis Linnert. It is one of the many wonderful routines from "So You Think You Can Dance Australia".

This is one breathtaking piece that can send emotions flowing through your whole body...When you watch both Kate and Graeme dance, you can simply feel their sincerity and emotions spreading while they melt into the dance becoming the characters in the story... briliant !

I can only think of one word to describe - SENSATIONAL !

New Chapter

Vesak Day - a day celebrating the birth, the enlightenment and the passing away of Gautama Buddha... a day so pure with trails of hymns forming like beautiful music to the ear... a day so peaceful with love from fellow devotees...

Today...I too celebrate the three same elements. The Birth - birth of my blog. The Enlightenment - enlightenment of my life. The Passing Away - passing away of the old me. Yes... I am starting a new chapter in my life today. It is time for me to move on and embrace the new beginning.

It is a very emotional day today. I have mix emotions - happy, sad, envy, proud, confuse... All intercrossing each other forming a huge energy build up. This energy build up has caused me feeling very expressive. But yet, the expressive feeling is so overwhelm that I found myself lost of words.

Anyway, I am excited about the new story I am about to enter. There are so much to do, so much to learn, so many things to see, so many decisions to make. In this new story, I will be somebody, somebody great, somebody special, somebody to be remembered...

I will make my story the nicest fairy tale with the happiest ending...
[ yup...I still believe in fairy tales with happy ending :> ]
