Hot Air Balloon Fiesta' 13 ^.^v

There's a tv show about the guy who went to work at different places, there was once he worked as the balloonist's assistant, helping to set up the hot air balloon and driving the tourists around. After I watched that, I just had the strong feeling of wanting to have a hot air balloon ride :P

I remember I did see the advertisement of the Putrajaya Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2013 last month, but with all the revisions, homework, trials in my mind, I totally forgot about it. Credit to Chun Kit, who reminded me of this fiesta :P If he didn't remind me of that, I think I wouldn't have been there haha.

They only allowed 300 people to have the ride for each session, and there are only morning and evening session on each day. Therefore, we needed to go early and queue for the tickets. Considering about the weather during these days and his time ( I won't go if I'm alone haha), going on a Saturday morning would be a better choice.

If you could see how I talked to him, you would know how much I wanted to go, and yea lar, it was because of me which made him wanted to go too :P Since we have already planned to go, of course I would like to be one of the 300 to go up for the ride haha. And so, we went there very very early in the morning. I think I better not to tell what time did we reach there, when I came to think back about it, we must be crazy that time lol! I can only say, the workers came at 5am and people started forming a queue by that time~

Of course, we got the tickets!! I tell you, those people are not any better than us, we were at the same level of craziness XD The others went there early in the morning too, for those who were in the queue but out of the 300 people for morning session, they continued staying in the queue and intended to wait for the evening tickets to be sold, which they would only start selling at 5pm!!

We bought 3 tickets together, one for Kyle. Sadly, Chun Kit couldn't join us as he needed to help his mum in the early morning, followed by a survey at Tropicana. Kyle came around 8am, and they went on to take a lot of pictures. I was standing at a side, watching how they set up the hot air balloon and anticipating to go up :P It went up to about a bit more than a tree's height and it could only accomodate 3-4 people at once.

Finally, it has reached our turn. I felt a bit warm as we were standing under the fire. The feeling of being up there was fun, enjoying the view of the sky and the ground. Although it did not fly like the hot air balloon at the other countries, which requires you to pay few hundred bucks for a ride, I was satisfied haha. I just wanted to get up and experience the fun of it, and under a safety condition. The day before it, my mum was telling me, "wah, you sure you dare to go up? what if it explodes like what happened in Egypt?" I was like, er..... but I still feel like trying..... =X

Got to see a lot of hot air balloon from all over the world ^^

Thank you very much for bringing me there,
accompanying me to wait throughout the whole midnight :)

 

 

With that,

I mark another new experience

in my life :)
