Nice outing... reliving my childhood...
Kite flying... Never really had a chance to fly a kite before... No childhood to speak of in that aspect. I believe the first and only time i flew a kite, it was already in high up in the sky when i took over the yard of string. Nothing to be proud of. Yesterday, I had another go at kite flying. Spent an afternoon under the hot sun, running around trying to get my kite up and going... without success... After an uneventful 2 hours and assistance from several 'professionals', the kite firmly held its ground. Hence we concluded that it is not a lack of skill but a technical error on the part of the kite.A lazy afternoon spent picnicking, sitting on ponchos in the open field... not really a picnic cos there's nothing much to eat... not that lazy after all since we adjourned to discuss serious stuff... an interesting setting considering the agenda of the meeting...
The eventful day ended with a magnificent display of fireworks completed with murmurs of wonder and looks of marvel ... I expect that is the type of reaction we all get when we see fireworks. I mean we don't get to see them that often. That explains the crowd on the buses, the terrible jam and us walking all the way to the MRT station instead of waiting for the bus.
Quite fun after all... ...
