KL Tower BASE jump 2009

This morning, my housemate ask me if i wanna go see the KL tower jump, where international jumper's will parachute down from the top of the tower.

so fine, i said i wanna go see it live...

Afternoon, we took left house bout 2.30 and reach there at around 3pm... kinda fast, coz not much jam, mostly smooth till almost reaching there...

then it was quite hard 2 find a parking, coz only 1 lane left, and its for up and down... fortunately, someone came out, and so i had a parking spot...

walk up to the tower, coz the entrance was block by police... reach the tower, saw people jumping down already, coz it begin in the morning...

ask the information counter, and we was brought to another counter, and had a separate VIP enterance where we can go up via a side door. O yeah, it was VIP Pass to the VIP Open deck... its the open air deck, even higher floor than the restaurant. seldom open to public, since the name is already VIP...

we reach the deck, and it is TH05. M&E floor. got "check-in", put on the full body harness. and got out to the deck... it was a super nice view of KL city... in terms of height, i think we are at level 7x-8x of the KLCC... The roof of the pod is at 335 m (1,099 ft), says Wiki. we was standing at the open air, not the observation deck where there is glass...

after awhile outdoor, it started to rain, and so all was call in for safety reason. after around 30-45 minutes, we was back outdoor... and started to watch live jumping... WOW~~~ people from all around the globe... there is a total of 80 odd participants...

other than nice view and excitement, other is photo speaks thousand words....
