aj hackett gig.

ok, so its been about 3 weeks since the rave, and its finally about time that i posted about it.

but since i'm actually quite short of time, ill just mostly post pictures and let you paint a picture for yourselves of what happened.

a picture that sandra took, she was pretty proud of it too.

the guys setting up the bungy cage. sadly the bungy didn't go through, cuase there was a problem with the crane. what a bummer.


the person in the cage is johnny. he is this white dude who manages the AJ hackett bungy in bali. coolest thing about him is he speaks freaking fluent indonesian. he even has the indonesian accent. its sometimes weird because he speaks to you in english, then all of a sudden he would just switch to indonesian. the first time i actually heard him speak indonesian was when he was giving instructions to the crane operator. and he was going on and on and on and on. i was totally stunned!

this is how high the bungy was supposed to be. too bad it was canceled. everyone was looking forward to jumping. thats about 45 meters up.

they had to dump loads and loads of sand to cover up all the mud and horse shit that littered the place. the smell of horse shit was so bad that we could even smell it before we set foot on the field.

a random shot of sandra.

me and lok when we were being strapped up on the g-force X. the cool thing about being part of the crew, was that we could sit on the rides as many times as we wanted.

this one is of sandra and me on the g-force X.

a picture of the only air conditioned tent. this was when it was all empty before the party started.
me, lok and sandra, posing on the balcony of out apartment. one thing i just realised about this shot is that we all had one leg up against the railing. only odd one out is sandra. *note* Sandra, why didn't you just go with the trend like the rest of us?!*

some more group shots.

on the night before the rave, we had this weird photography session with the other crew that lived in the next door apartment. they climbed over into our side from the balcony.


now here are some shots of people.

this is lok, he just slapped a huge bunch of sun block on his face. i don't think he even knew that his face was all white.

ok now i'm quite lazy to write captions.



next up is the swing. how it goes is that there are 2 cranes. one crane which holds the swing and suspends it 2 meters off the ground, and another which would pull the swing and bring it to a height of 40 meters. once the swing is at the wanted height, one of the people on the swing would have to pull a trigger to release the swing and all 3 people would come down in a huge swing.

this is a picture of me, sandra and lok getting geared up. i was even able to strap my video camera onto my hand. i'll post up the video when i have the time. then you guys would be able to feel how is it like to sit on it too!

this is when the crane was pulling us up.

this is one of us swinging.

ok, looks like i've wasted enough time posting pictures. i'm late for an appointment with some old friends now. looks like i'm going to be 30 minutes late. as usual...

i know, i know!

yes, it HAS been really really long since i last updated.

i have so much to blog about, but just don't have the time!

time, something everyone wants but never seem to have enough of. i really hate it when i don't have the time to just laze around in front of the computer, reading random stuff off the net, watching movies downloaded off the net, and most of all just plain doing nothing.

lately i've been playing around alot with me new olympus E-510. i'm getting used to it now. but i think i would need to get a new lense. i really hate it when i need a zoom lense and only brought my wide lense along. it pisses me off! so thats why i've set my eyes on a 18mm-180mm lens :D

getting that lense and a new speed light would make me really really happy.

2 days ago, i suddenly decided to climb up onto the roof of my house to take some photos. it was a hard climb. stepping on those tiles on the roof are freaking scarry. plus i was pretty high up. just think about it, i live in a 3 storey house, and i climbed up onto the top most top of the house to take my photos. it was really windy, there wasn't much sun shine, and it was really really high up. i think i was about 15 meters off the ground. good think i'm a climber, so heights isn't much of a problem for me.

but now you guys must be thinking, what in the hell would make noel climb up onto the roof just to take photos?

well here is what i took photos of.

yes i know, the power cables really spoils the shot. but i guess i can't do anything about it. unless i buy some C4 explosives and detonate it at the base of that tower. but then again if i do that, i wouldn't have any electricity.

yes, my first sunset shot. it was actually quite cool. i can see 1 utama, the curve, and some other places from my roof top. i also am able to get a good shot of a sun rise. well i guess i'll only be taking a shot of that when i finally decide to wake up uber early in the morning one fine day.

well in my next upcoming post i'll post some pictures from the recharge revelation, global gathering. it was freaking hell muddy. plus everyone was practically walking in horse shit, as they actually use that field for the horses to graze.

besides that, i would also post pics from the camp5's promo wall in 1 utama. it was a cool wall, also it gave us a chance to tell the people of malaysia that camp5 does exist and lives on the 5th floor of 1 utama.

untill the next post! good bye!
