Happy (belated) Chinese New Year!
And boy was I glad it took up 2 weekdays. WoohoO!
There are some oddities I saw within these two days.
1) The hotdogs me and Yus fried just looks wrong.
2) I just realised there are ALOT of foreign workers in Singapore because they took over Jurong East Interchange on Monday, 26th January 2009. They are spreading their power fast, people.
3) These 2 men found the cheek and space, to play frisbee at VIVOCITY.
At that pavement where you can walk-walk while looking out towards the sea towards the IR.
4) Me gaining 5-6kg and now looks like a chubbybabi baby.
Recent weather has seen sunny skies and cool winds. My favourtie kind of weather. So what better time to have a picnic and fly some kites! Yeehaw!
And until today I don't understand what's the innuendo that lies beneath 'go fly kite'.
Judging from the 'heh heh hehs' and sly looks exchanged between members I can only guess it's something dirty.
I tried to link kite-flying as some sexual act or karma-sutra position but doesn't make sense leh.
Hmmm.
Whatever.
Ok so the plan of the day was to make The Largest Kite In The World! and use the kite to cut everyone elses' kite and be the King of Kites at West Coast Park. Muahahaha.
But then cannot find rotans because shops which sell rotans were closed. So have to resort to buying cheapskate kites at Toys-R-Us. Nyeh.
Some tips on Kite-flying:
1) The human body does not make a good rotan no matter if you're as thin as a rotan. But you can try using a thin picnic mat/$3 tablesheet as the kite-sheet because it was always bloody blown away by the wind.
2) Maintain a good posture and bright teethy smile because you want to show you are in control of the situation. Eventhough your kite can only fly for 1m for about 2mins.
3) Understand the tugs that you feel on the string as your kite sashays in the wind. That's your kite's way of telling you to let go more string so that it can fly higher. But if you cannot understand and you're annoyed, it's ok, you make a good picture to laugh at.
Wahahahaa.
(The two smaller pics are purposefully irrelevant and duplicated to annoy you)
4) Your string will somehow get bloody entangled. Be patient. And look cheerful like you're enjoying every minute of this experience. Try not to fall asleep in the process of untangling string.
5) You cannot fly a kite while sitting down.
Ok we shall not assume people in wheel-chairs cannot fly kites.
But once you're rolling about on the mat trying to get the kite to fly, just stand up already.
6) Perseverance is key. Don't care about people who shout NADIA LOSER NADIA LOSER and laugh at you because you still cannot get your kite to fly after about 30mins.
7) Don't forget to rest and refuel your energy every now and then by eating Atikah's Yummylicious Hotdogs and Healthy Eggs without Salt, Keropok Singkong Perisa Keju Bakar, jellies, Keropok Pedas, and Yus' Cold Roti Prata Telur, and Sheera's Shepherd Pie. Also drink plenty of water such as Nadia's Tap Water in Recycled 2.5litre Bottles.
8) If you have a boyfriend/a person who you know likes you, test his adoration for you by asking him to pick up your kite everytime it falls... sampai dia bongkok tiga ok.
End of tips~~~
Kite-flying is so much fun.
But was sucha disappointment when every other kites were tiny specks but for us, our strings were gone all the way and we can still see the patterns on our kites.
Sigh. Da kate $3.. da bagus tu boleh terbang.
Nevermind, got frisbee!
Me and Yus bought this hybrid of a frisbee and a boomerang. Packet said it can be both. It seems that if you flip it on one side and it has 'boomerang action'.
But it has more than that function.
We found out that it can also be a fashion accessory and a prop for a magic trick: Look ma, no hands!
We can also modify the traditional way of playing frisbee by catching this thing with our head through the loop.
Damn fun this one.
Ok yang aku syiok promote benda ala ni kenapa eh.
But the best part of the day was the jumpshots.
I have yet to understand the thrill and exuberance of jumping infront of a camera.
But nonetheless, me likey! And so do you!
So I'm gonna put the 498 pics we took jumping jumping...
The Girls' Jumpshots!
Couple-Jump-Shots!
I think I wanna do jumpshots in my wedding photos! :D
Check out my funkadelic hair, Raaawr.
All these make me look forward to my next holidays...
In what...3 months' time? Sigh.
