This is a pretty old photo, taken about two months ago. We haven’t gone kite-flying in a while now but the park, the park has converted Ben & I to become serial park people, haha! Ask me one year ago and I’ll probably not join you at the park. Anyway, I had this random thought earlier – what if someone got killed at the park? Would I dare go there again? Can’t say why it came to mind, could be all the Criminal Minds I’ve been watching. And you don’t even have to answer it… I’m just putting it out there.

See how huge the snake-like kites are? From where I was sitting, they took my breath away, in a terrifying way. They looked evil like aliens wanting to take over our world. The photos definitely don’t capture it but you take my word for it yeah!
This is the last bits of photos of kites, I think I overdid it on the blog a little!
Anyway I’ll be off to Bali with some friends on Thursday and over the weekend but we are so cool, we haven’t gotten a place to stay. If you know me well, I am the biggest freaker-outer ever. So yeah… hooray, adventure!!

Yes. We spend way too many afternoons and evenings at the park now. I’m sunburnt and sporting an ugly tanline cos I had my sunnies on. Apart from that, I wish the park is bigger cos it seems a lot of people like flying kites too, and playing Ultimate Frisbee and soccer and playing fetch with their dogs and there’s simply not enough space for everyone. Half the time strings get tangled and oh, I neglected our kite and it got stuck in a tree for awhile, did I mention I suck at it?
The photos are from two different days, kite-flying-days.
We met this older guy who’s pretty knowledgeable about kites and he taught us that this is called the delta shape and also the easiest type to fly.

Was majorly fried this afternoon, got burnt, got heartbroken. The Killers gig is cancelled, it was supposed to be this Sunday man, it was gonna be the best party for so many of us! Gahh, we were all talking about it since 2009, still talking about it two days back and now, THIS!
But a trip to the park always has its way of making things right again. Hopped onto our bicycles and put my new Fjallraven backpack to use.
Found this little guy outside my door
A huge fella
Ben ended up buying a kite, some kind of personal quest for redemption going on there but turns out, he’s so darn good at flying a kite! He got so cocky about it which was really funny!
That’s his eagle, it makes this awesome flapping sound
G’weekend now guys! Big hugs to anyone else who got cancelled on!
