I'm Like A Bird.

At last, my dream accomplished! The dream of feeling like an eagle, soaring in the sky. Actually, it started 8 years ago when I read an article about PARAGLIDING.

Paragliders line-up.

"The one & only G.I Jane", Capt. Haz9, Majis and Ust. Asnawi.

My couch was Capt. Haznain. So, abt 2 pm on 10th Apr, we did ground training at UMS. I was the freshest 'student' for the day and the one and only "G.I Jane". Masa mula2 melawan angin dgn payung yg terbuka sj dah memenatkan, ditambah dgn cuaca panas terik. But credit was given to me due to my 3rd attempt, I already floated. I nearly 'throw-up' during the training session. My face became bloodless and I hope U can imagine how tiring, tough and exhausted I was during the training. And because of that incident, they called me "fair & lovely" a.k.a Pucat Lesi.

Pose first before taking-off.

The next day, we headed to Ranau to apply what I learnt. The situation was a bit diff. here, because the wind agak kencang. No more sepoi2 bahasa like yesterday. So, it was quite harder for me to take-off. To make the story short, I did 5 take-offs (& 1 tandem with Ust. Asnawi), which was outstanding for a beginner. (This was what Capt. Haznain said, okay). My 1st take-off was a disaster-jatuh tersungkur U. From paras pinggang hingga bawah lutut bersalut debu. And on my 3rd take-off was a catastrophe, landing atas batang kayu. Punyalah dorg risau takut my ankle injured. Tp I tell U, mmg sakitlah. Ouchhhh.... My 4th take-off, fuhhh...jauh jglah landing. Terasa jugalah berada di 'awangan' kejap. Again, credit for me due to outstanding performance.

This was how my left arm looked-like after 2 days training.

Thank God! Bruises was my only Worse Case Scenario happened to my right arm.
