Flying A Kite in West Coast Park.

My family went to West Coast Park on 29 Aug 2009.

We reached there before 3.30pm. By then, the park was already crowded with people. The car park was full. Cars were illegally parked along the main road all the way till Suzuki workshop. J has no choice but to park his car at a HDB flat far opposite to West Coast Park.

A long queue was formed for the goodies bag. Despite the sunny weather, the queue was extremely long. Isa and I managed to collect our goodies bags. Inside, there were a little white towel, a paper fan and a small bottle of water. We noticed others have a mat included which became handy in a picnic.

There was no free kite included. Luckily, we brought our own kite. We bought one at a neighbourhood shop, eager to try it out.

Very soon, J and Isa started flying the kite while I preferred to sit under a shady tree to read my story book.

Initially, I saw the two were trying to lift the kite up. Then in a short while, the fly was already up in the sky. Within minuties, the string was already taut and the kite was almost constant flying in the blue sky.

The feeling was wonderful. Isa sat on the little stool, one hand holding onto the string and the other, fanning herself against the hot weather.

There were many, many kites in the blue sky.

On a side note;
it rained almost the whole day on 30 Aug. We were lucky to have made a trip to West Coast Park on 29 Aug.
On 31 Aug, Ng gave me an old kite which he did not fly for some years. Now I have a few kite at home!
