Heyhey!
Lol....last few weeks found me in County Offaly, somewhere in Ireland la...hehe
What was I doing there?
Jumping down at 9000ft, and going sky diving! hehe!!!
A boost in adrenaline!
But then hor.... I think Solero Shot gives more weird feelings in the stomach than the sky diving lor....
My reasoning behind it -->
Solero is a vertical fall. Sky diving has me falling on my belly.
So less g-force on my stomach? I think. hehe.
Ks thought I wouldn't dare go...lol...
I thought I wouldn't either...muahaha...
Went in the end.
Didn't freak out like I thought I would.
Didn't curse out vulgarities at the top of my voice like I thought I would.
Didn't scream my lungs out like I thought I would.
But the scenery at 9000ft was breathtaking...
Imagine blue skies, with the bright sun and a carpet of white clouds...
The plane ride up to the heavens above was 15min...
About 45 seconds of free fall, and I think from top to bottom was around 10-15 min.
Was given 'some' control of the parachute, which was damn hard to manoeuvre...
The wind was strong, and it kept blowing into my mouth.
It was rather cloudy that day, so maybe it wasn't that scary. Lol.
Everything looked miniscule. Nice.
My friend nearly landed on cowdung. I landed nicely on my butt. Hehe.
Oh...We jumped with instructors attached to us...
Pictures -->
The jumpers of the day. In our suits.
In the small little plane.
That's me! hehe.
Our certs! hhehhe...
My instructor and me.
Lol...sky diving was fun! Parachuting was nice also!
Well, that's bout it, gtg...
Take care!

Happy Guy Fawkes' Night
Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder, treason and plot,
I see of no reason why gunpowder treason,
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes,
'Twas his intent,
To blow up the King and the Parliament!
Three score barrels of powder below,
Poor England to overthrow.
By God's providence he was catch'd,
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys; make the bells ring,
Holloa boys, holloa boys; God save the King!
Hip hip hoorah!

First signs of winter... In November?!
Brrr... it's cold today. I guess this is the earliest report of the impending winter. The weather's plummetting faster than George Bush's popularity!!
Near my halls, I saw the first signs of frost on the grass. Maybe the others have been getting this for ages but this is new for me! And worst of all, they haven't turned the heating on for my halls yet!!! T-T
Anywayz, gotta jet. I've dissection now and the prof's said that whoever's later than him will be added to the tables. XD
P.S.: The brains of our cadavers have been missing ever since the Seniors dissected the head. Been searching but no sign of them... starting to think they ate 'em.
Second P.S.: Yo, to everyone in U.K. and if possible, Ireland too: come to Notts!!!
