G-max

There’s still 15 mins more for the keynote to start. I’ll blog about monday. I was bringing my cousin and his wife to NUs for dinner and to have a look around. My cousin had some conference at Insead and we decided to meet him up after some shopping and stuff. Then, we went on to clarke quay and sort of chilled out along the river, taking photos and all. And then, we headed for the bungee!! haha, as you all probably know, there are 2 options: The bungee swing (takes you 40m up in the air and let you do SHM) and the reverse bungee. We chose to go with the swing and i became the one to press the lever. here’s how it works. there is this cabin into which we all sit in and we will all be brought up to the height and given a signal that we are ready to drop. Then, one of us, pre-assigned, will have to press down a level near our seats to release the thing to let us drop. Once the signal was given, my cousin’s wife gave me the go-ahead. And i counted down load, 5-4-3-2-1 and pressed it down. We were literally free-falling for about 3 seconds la.. the acceleration was great!! But it only took about a minute to come to rest and i really really wanted to go again :P

Anyway, I signed up for PAssion card and so, got a free ticket to Escape theme park. It expires in march09. I’m thinking of going over during Jan. If anyone wants to join me, i’m willing to pay half your admission ticket ! haha, ed? i’ll go ask ard… Think i also wanna try the reverse bungee liao.
