We went to Malaysia for a holiday trip. We visited one of the best theme parks of the world, Sunway Lagoon Theme park.<\/p>\n
To be honest, I had no intention to try Bungee Jumping till the last minute. But when I saw the actual thrill of participants, after 45 minutes, I was standing at the edge of a wooden platform, 22m above ground level (almost the height of a 9 storey building) ready to take the Plunge!<\/p>\n
Even before the actual visit, when I saw the advertising poster for adventure activities at the theme park, for a moment I mentally ticked bungee jumping on the ‘things to do before I die’ list. “How ironic would it be if you die while completing your before-I-die list?\u201d asked my hubby. It was a question that deserved a few minutes of serious contemplation.<\/p>\n
So when we went to sightseeing, we crossed our eyebrows deep in thought as we trudged across the world\u2019s longest pedestrian suspension bridge. We saw a Korean boy diving casually as if he is going for a swim.<\/p>\n
Now standing at the Bungee Jumping platform I thought of that boy, \u2018This can\u2019t be that tough\u2019 I contemplated breathing normally for a few seconds.<\/p>\n
The instructor started harnessing me all around. But as soon as my eyes were on the drop below, my Heart started pounding at an unreasonable pace. The instructor \u00a0told me to relax, take baby steps towards the edge, hands parallel to the ground. “Don\u2019t Jump. Just fall freely\u201d he kept telling.\u00a0 Then he broke into a count of five. On reaching five I was supposed to take the leap of faith.<\/p>\n
I took baby steps, breathing deeply and on the count of 5, I just stood rigid. First attempt Fail. “I can\u2019t do this\u201d, I said in a desperate attempt to get out. My hubby nodded, smiled and encouraged me to try again. \u201cPush me\u201d, I pleaded. Instructor said \u201cNo. We can\u2019t do that. Try again!\u201d I swallowed hard, closed my eyes and wriggled my toes. Again the same baby steps, on the count of five, I lost balance and before I knew I was off the platform. That\u2019s it. I fell down at an alarming pace. Few seconds later I felt a jerk and for a moment I thought I had messed up something! But it was perfect. I opened my eyes and swayed like a pendulum. I was so overjoyed and smiled. A tube boat came and I was lowered into it. As I lay there facing the Sky, getting unharnessed, Oh My God, I had \u2018The Ultimate Feeling\u2019 of having achieved something few people dare to do! Instructor looked at me and asked if I was fine. I showed the Thumbs Up sign!<\/p>\n
After all, I was going to live and complete the rest of the things I would do before I die !<\/p>\n
