Sky Diving in Pattaya

I headed back to Singapore right after my Austria trip and went for a sky diving trip with my dear friend Joanette. We are both August babies and turning 3-0 this year so we thought of doing something to celebrate this year :)

I am really glad she asked me along. If not for her, I doubt I would even to do something like this in my usual traveling plans. I was apprehensive about it after agreeing (all thanks to the many scary plane accidents in the recent months) but all the anxiety was uncalled for.

We checked into Rabbit Resort in Pattaya.

We had a super huge bed for just the 2 of us.

With my most frequent traveling mate Nette :)

Like I have mentioned, my anxiety was totally uncalled for. I was expecting the feeling of adrenaline rush where my heart will move all the way to my throat, the feeling when taking a roller coaster. But nope! Nothing of that sort. The feeling was soft and cushion-y when I jumped off the plane. I think i can say it was like landing on a mountain of fluffy cotton wool? (not as if I landed on one before hah)

This is us all geared up.

We took a small plane up.

With my instructor.

The plane was so small, it could only fit us.

My moment...

And we leaped off the plane! Even though it looked like we were free falling, there was no free fall feeling at all.

Out came the parachute and this was the view from above. Surprisingly I was not frightened. In fact I thought the view was beautiful. We spun around once clockwise and once anti clockwise and we prepared for landing. I did had the motion sickness feeling while being spun around. The whole process was shorter than I thought it would be. Probably only 3 mins?

And we landed. I didn't even had to run hah

The Orange Timber

Today was a pretty chill day, walking around, eating and reading my book! It has been a long time since I walked along Blk 85 market. I think the last time was during my sec sch days, on my way back to my grandma house after sch. Since I had breakfast there with my grandma today, I showed der the old sch cake shop where Cham and I bought a huge cream cake (not those fanciful ones we get these days) and finished it all by ourselves under the void deck! Der and I couldn't resist the temptation to buy a slice each :) Strawberry vs blueberry...Only $1.10 each. Those miniture ones that are sold at toast box cost $1.20 and they are only 1/3 the size of this! What a rip off for something nostalgia... Later in the evening, we decided to chill at The Orange Timber @ Tiong Bahru The Orange Timber is a cafe cum art gallery. The plates are bowl used were also meant to be something nostalgia once again... hah However, I use those cutlery at home too. There are like 3 sections to this small cafe...

Having the Chills

If you, Derrick is ever reading this, I would suggest you close this page. It's my right to type whatever I want. I won't mince my words because this is my space. I hardly feel unwell and this not the best time to fall sick. Yet I'm having the chills. Whenever my boob hurts, I will start to get the chills and a little temperature. It had to come at the time when i'm feeling totally not in the mood to do anything. I think I should swallow a few more pills. What I had isn't enough. Guess feeling down really brings down one's immune system. We just got news that we will be moving back to Singapore and the first thing that came to my mind is F*** I've to face her. That fake face (literally fake. No amount of make up helps la. old means old. draw what draw) who pretends she doesn't care or even when we talk face to face she says no no it's ok. PUI! Der will be unhappy reading this but i blame it on him for making the situation like this. No amount of ...

Happy Chinese New Year!
