Paragliding

Back in February, family and i headed to Pangkor Island for the labour day weekend
I was all smiles, father let me go paragliding!

Thats my parachute... or whatever its called. Beach boys preparing it

Another one giving me precise instructions. He told my mom i was scared =P

I told myself there was no turning back

Earlier on another gal was dragged into the water, she did not have an easy take off. He emphasised that i was to run when he gave the cue. I didnt wanna get dragged so i RAN like my life depended on it

Didnt have to run much actually, my take off was smooth. Before i knew it i was running on air, my feet was above the waves

Upon realising what was happening, i yelled out for fun, whoaaaa or something of that sort =)

Turned around to wave

It was beautiful up there!

Wasn't a very long flight, they soon gave me the cue to start pulling the strings to descend

Almost landing

Ended with a splash! I wanna do it again!!!
