Master Choco dropped 12,000 feet down from the sky on 30 Nov 2005 onto Middle Earth...
To be more exact, it was at Paihia, Bay of Islands, Northland, New Zealand...
How did it happen?
- 3 seconds... was all it took for Master Choco to notice an airfield beside the road he was driving on as he was driving into the next town... There, he saw a huge sign saying "SkyDive"... the seed was planted...
- 5 mins.... was all it took for Master Choco to make the decision at the information centre at Paihia to sign up for the jump... NZ$265!!! Oh what the heck...
- 5 mins... was all it took for the van ride from the information centre in town to the airfield again...
- 30 mins... was all it took to get briefed on the procedures, wear the jumpsuit, wear the harness, wear the sexy headgear, get on board the propeller plane...
- 15 mins... was all it took for the plane to climb steadily to 12,000 feet
- 45 seconds... was all it took for free-fall... terminal velocity was really an out of this world experience... the view of Middle Earth from this height was absolutely stunning... Fear? What fear? The feeling of awe and excitement replaced everything else...
- 3 seconds... was all it took for the yellow parachute to open at 5,000 feet...
- 8 minutes... was all it took to glide gracefully back to Middle Earth... watching Middle Earth grow nearer and larger was simply breathtaking...
- A lifetime... will be what it'll take to forget this experience...

Gosh.. That was sooooooooo cool! Reminded me of that movie with Yancy Butler, Nick Nolte (I think) and Wesley Snipe (I think). Something about sky-diving.. the one with U2's song "With or Witout You". Damn cool (I mean the movie and you lah)..
