The man beside me asked me if I was ready to take the jump. I just nodded and smile and on the count of three, that something was about to start. Years after taking that plunge made me realize that I took it with something similar to my journey.
Falling 233m from the World's highest Bungee site - AJ Hackett's Macau tower bungy experience is one astonishing and heaven-like experience. Looking back, it mirrors my own take in the leap of faith. I knew that I had to do it or I may never get the chance to come back and do it again. People around me made sure that I had my straps secure to keep me safe when I jump off the edge. I was looking forward to the pure bliss that I was feeling intensely. At the back of my mind, I knew that in between those fall and joy, there is the consequence...there is change.
When I started to lean forward and my feet left of the edge, it was like everything was in slow motion and yet so fast. The wind touching my face. My heart was left somewhere up or fell faster below. I can see a blue clear sky and a vast serene water with a boat docking in just seemed like a few feet away. In just 20 seconds, I was already hanging close to the trampoline.
Today, I feel the same, seems like everything happened so fast that I can't undo it. I was for a moment in the clouds but everything just went down so fast that I have no control of. Jumping and falling towards my goal didn't give me a glimpse of those clear blue sky that I long for nor the serenity of the water waving through softly on the ground.
The bungee fall let me experience at least something better because the jump I took tied me hanging still. The fall was not flat facing down but it turned my world upside down. Seemed like both feet are tied stopping me from touching the ground and moving forward.
