Marina Barrage! =D

Yeah! Went Marina Barrage yesterday with Ben. It's a beautiful place. Just that we went at the wrong date. There was some event so was very crowded and noisy. Went to explore the place abit before flying our kite.
Snap snap! =D
It was a weekend so there were many families flying kite there. We went to a less crowded place and attempted to fly the kite. Ben was really engrossed in flying the kite.
Our first stop for our first attempt of flying the kite
Ben was really engrossed since the start
The kite didn't last too long up there
Still not giving up
After several attempts, we decide to use a new strategy; run down the slope. It's really funny watching how Ben ran down the slope in his attempt to make the kite fly. Haha! =D Later, we decided to move to the area down the slope where there was only one group of people there.
View from the slope
Ben failed again in several attempts to fly the kite. I tried, but failed too and concluded that it was more entertaining to watch Ben attempting to fly the kite. Haha! =D Later, I came up with an extremely brilliant idea; Poke holes in the kite! It worked! Finally, Ben succeeded! The kite flew very high and steadily. Too bad our string was too short, if not we could fly the kite higher.
Our steadily flying kite =D
We went out of string
Ben confidently holding the kite without looking at it
Even more confident, hooked it to the railing
The sky was full of kites and there were some interesting kites too.
Lots of kites
Cute smiley kite
Penguin couple kite
The night was falling so we let down our kite.
The night is falling
Ben with our $2 kite =D
The whole made by Ben in his attempt to retie the kite
(Plus the two holes I suggested, the kite was 'holely')

Nice view of the flyer
A shot with the flyer =D
Some shots on our way out
Another very fun day! Hope to go back there again! =D
