we were looking forward to a weekend of cheap fun; somewhere we don't have to spend a lot, somewhere we could sweat it out (but not too much) and somewhere not very crowded.

so,
jayen and i went kite-flying!!!!


First time in my life, haha

We took the bus to Marina Bay but the sky was overcast when we reached Bugis. Then it started raining! :(( we alighted at Bugis and went for a late lunch. Passed by a shop selling party stuff (u should know where exactly it is, haha.. it's the one opposite Iluma) and saw they were selling kites!
Jayen bought an aeroplane-kite while i bought the traditional triangular kind, hehe.. very cheap!! Only $3.90 and $1.90 respectively!!
i was darn happy but jayen said, "Raining how to fly kite.....??"
BLEH :(
i didn't care, i just want to buy it.

We went Iluma's Tornado to play while waiting for the rain to stop, jayen managed to hit one bonus and got 220 tickets! woohoo~!! :D
The sky still look very cloudy after that, threatening rain any minute.. but stubborn me still insisted on heading to Marina Bay, so we went.
We took the free shuttle bus from Marina Bay to Marina Barrage. I got to hear from my friend, Cindy, that Marina Barrage is the best place for flying kites! yay! I'm quite sure the kites sold there are very expensive, thus insisting us buying cheap ones at Bugis earlier on, heee.. and we're glad we did just that! Cos the ones at Marina Barrage cost $20-30 dollars each!

We reached!!

Look at the dark clouds above us :(


we walked all the way up, there was quite a number of people flying kites, heh.. i was so excited!! Anyway, a cloudy day would mean less people coming here to fly kites, no? :D

we found a place to sit and took out our kites!

There was no instructions to fix the kite (no wonder so cheap, haha!), but we he managed to anyhow..

Jayen fixing his aeroplane-kite

He was very proud of it, haha.. cos it's aeroplane -_- ...... guys!

Me with my triangular kite! :D Love it being so colourful!

Jayen started to fly his kite..

and in no time....

and then, he ran off with his kite!!!! like super far away! -______-!

Wei~!!
and here i was shouting for him to come back and help me .....

damnit!

now... how do i fly a kite???

swing once..

swing twice...

swing...........swing swing...

aehh...

one super unglam pic! i was trying to run with the kite so that the wind would fly it up!!!

Jayen laughed super loudly at me & asked why i was dancing Chinese Dance -_____-!!!!! Ji Dan!

but but.. my kite managed to fly up eventually!! YAYYYY

i was SUPER HAPPY i tell u!!

i look like a running skeleton -__- Time to fatten up, grrrr....

I knew that boy had so much fun, haha.. cos he was running round and round the field like a little kid


haha

he think he running 2.4km -_-
where got people fly kite run so much one! hahaaa... but it's good, he can start training up for his IPPT next month

Some people had HUGE kites!!

Got one eagle somemore! hahaa.. and penguin, batman, doraemon etc...
Next time i wanna make my own! A Rilakkuma one!! Jayen says it'll surely look very 低能 up there, heh...
Some people go there take photo nia.. they never fly their kite one, hahaa

i think if i would go with my girlfriends, it would definitely be more of a cam-whoring than a kite-flying session, haha

Soon, both our kites were very high up!!!! No need to run already! And the wind was very strong (maybe cos it was cloudy) we were even afraid our lines would snap!


Jayen's aeroplane, haha.. he seems to be good at it, so i asked him if he has flown a kite before. He said Yes, last time he fly 'zuah-long (plastic bag)' from his HDB flat window -_-

It was getting dark.. see my kite up there too? wahahaha~

In no time, it became very dark. Anyway, my $1.90 kite cannot make it la.. the stick came out after awhile in the sky, haha... and it cannot fly anymore :( Kites without LED lights also are banned from flying in the dark at Marina Barrage. There was this security guard with a microphone and speaker, telling people not to fly their kites that aren't lit, for safety reasons.

So we spent the rest of the evening watching the professionals fly their SUPER HUGE UFO-looking kites, haha

It was AWESOMENESS!


Look at the night sky! It was indeed a beautiful sight!

wahhh.... a postcard-worthy shot?? :D

Jayen told me he thought of a proposal-strategy..
That is, to fly a gigantic kite with the LED-lighted words, "Will U Marry Me?"
and then when i turn back, he will be kneeling down with a ring and flowers.

~wahhhhhh~!!!!! I hate it!!!! I hate it when he has great ideas like that and then he TELLS ME -__-!
cos means it won't happen liao, hahaa!

Anyway, i should give bf a pat on the back for having the potential for even being this lomantic. It's the thought that counts, isn't it?
Just that, when u're really gonna do it, PLS DON'T TELL ME FIRST! haha

I love our kite-flying session. It's so fun! I'm definitely having more of this in future, yeah ??
:D
