I stood there feeling crackled as I looked 40 metres down thinking about Bungee jumping made me want to puke. I stood there getting ready to jump 40 terrifying metres down off Hanmer Bridge. It was to late now, So I had no choice but to jump.
My stomach gurgled out loud like a jammed sewage pipe. I had a stomach ache. It was do or die now (die as in I would get a punishment from my mum because it cost a a lot of money to jump off a BRIDGE!!!) I jumped!! And my chest was as numb I took a jump of fright. "AAAHHH!!!!!!" I screamed like a helpless girl saying to myself, "I'm so stupid to think this was a cool idea!!"
I flew down like a Phoenix. As I was still screaming with terror I felt a nice cool breeze glide threw my non dyed hair. It felt so refreshing and terrifying at the same time in fact it was a mixed bag of emotions!! I was still falling and the ground got closer and closer,closer,closer ............AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I shut my eyes and was about to cry! But then suddenly BOOIIINNNGGG?!?! I opened eyes in question, "I'm alive? I"M ALIVE!!!" I suddenly feel a lot better knowing that I had survived that breathtaking jump!

Wow Tanielu - if you have never been bungee jumping before, you have done a fantastic job of putting yourself in someone else's shoes. I have never done it either and you described it just how I imagine it would feel. Excellent writing.
Good stuff Tanielu.
Maybe we can experience it first hand on our next family holiday?
What do you think?
Tanielu - I have always been a big fan of your work and this is no exception. A great piece of written work. We were talking about you in Room 8, and some of the Boys thought that as someone who lived in Auckland you might be sad because the Auckland Blues aren't playing very well. We had a quick brainstorm about ways of cheering you up and decided to post you something from Waikato, home of the mighty Chiefs. It should be here later in the week or early next week.
