Wonderful Day

Today is a happy day for me. The happiest day in i-don't-know-how-long. I did many things that I had wanted to do but was either too busy or procrastinating.

Finally, after more than two decades of my life, I flew a kite for the very first time. Thinking that $38 was a rather reasonable price, I bought one of the biggest kite being sold in the shop, only to find out that the price does not include the string. In the end, I had to pay an additional $13 so that I can control my kite. =.='

I was lucky to have my kite up and flying on my first attempt, especially when I witness how other kite flyers experienced difficulties in flying their kites. I was really proud to see my kite flying up high and standing out from the rest.




For a moment, as I stared at the kite, I felt as though I was the owner of a Japanese restaurant selling food like Takoyaki, as my kite was in the shape of a fish that is commonly hung outside Japanese restaurants. Hahs.

When we were packing up to leave, I saw three kites flying above the sky garden at Marina IR. I was filled with envy and wished I could fly a kite at the sky garden too! It was upon closer scrutinisation did I realise that they were parachuters performing for the NDP rehearsal. *woops*

Then, came an announcement from the management of Marina Barrage. Visitors are told to ceased any kite flying activities as they might affect the certain performances (like low flying aircraft) that is ongoing NDP rehearsal at Padang. Thankfully we kept the kite earlier than most people. Otherwise, I can forsee the string of my kite being entangled with many others.

Subsequently, we went over to Resorts World for the very first time. We even visited Universal Studio and had fun. The only part I dislike was the lack of sign posts. When we first entered the building, we had problems finding our way around. It was only through some exploring did we managed to find the intended destination. Lesson learnt: When in doubt, always follow the crowd. Hahs.

All in all, the day was fun-filled and it ended earlier than I had expected. Not that I'm complaining, but I guess we were all tired as we started the day early and it was fully packed with activties.

I'm glad that I managed to complete some of the things on my wish list before I leave for Australia. I hope by doing so, I can alleviate some of the home-sickness I may experience when I'm alone in in kangaroo land; by thinking and reminising the wonderful times I had.

P.S: If you happen to read my blog, I will like to thank you for ferrying me around, planning and spending an entire day with me. I had an enjoyable time =)
