Kiteflying at Marina Bay

My attempt to revive this dying, I mean, DEAD blog.

So we went kite flying on the 16th of July! The turnout wasn't really satisfying. HELLO. CLASS OUTING. for CIP somemore. And you tell me how many people turned up?

TSK. So disappointing.

Anyway just to make all those every single one of you guilty people who didn't turn up due to...whatever reasons. I have some pictures and videos. Afterwhich my camera ran out of batt and died.

So we went there and thought kite flying was an easy peasy chicken feat thing.

Who knows, we got jacked. Big time. =(

Our kite got torn.



(Yanheng and Huihui acting shocked, with the culprit of the torn kite in the background.)

And it got stuck in the trees.



And we tried taking it down.



It got stuck in another tree when we got it down. So we tried getting it down again.



(CZ conveniently took the corner flag of the soccer field and used it. -.-)

Thank goodness we have kind souls in Singapore like this uncle here. Who helped us by teaching us how to fly a kite and giving us one GIANT roll of string and a new kite. And he told us he has been flying kites for 30 years already. No wonder he so pro we so noob la.



(Don't you think he looks like Xie Xian?)

And another bunch of cool old uncles who are some imba kite flyers around made us even more ashamed of ourselves. =/



And some videos!

1. Yanheng the noob kite flyer!


2. And Yanheng decided to let CZ try.


3. And it was CZ's turn.


4. And CZ attempting to bring down the kite.


After this my camera died. So no more photos or videos!

But I'm proud to say that I had one very fantastic and nice time when my kite flew!

EH don't laugh okay it was quite an achievement cos very few people managed to do that.

Then we flew kites for 3 hours or so. Then decided to drop by Ben and Jerry's to visit our dearest Cassandra!

Who has morphed from an RJC student to a brilliant ice-cream scooper!

And thanks to her we... okay never mind. Secret secret.

Cassandra we miss you! =D

Okay feeble attempt to revive this place.
