Kite Flying @ Marina Barrage

We were quite sure it was quite windy when we decided to go to Marina Barrage yesterday to fly our kite.

See, the kite actually managed to fly up.

Before Clement could hand over the task of flying the kite to Jaimie, the wind went dead. Flying the kite was no longer a breeze but a tough and impossible task.


Clement tried to fly the kite without the wind.


He swung it around.

He tugged the string.


He went around in circles.
All his effort was, needless to say, in vain.


Heaven must be very touched by his effort to try to fly the kite. Suddenly, the dark darkened and the wind began to blew very strongly. Up went the kite again!!


There was little raindrops too. Thankfully Jaimie was wearing something with a hood.


Jaimie finally got to fly her kite!


Spot our kite.

The serious kite flyer. I wonder if she'll ever do kite surfing.


The kite went up and up. This time, Jaimie didn't run along with the kite. There wasn't much space to run around in Marina Barrage anyway. And EVERY teenager at Marina Barrage HAD TO take a "jump up into the sky" picture.


The rain got heavier at one point in time. This is the way to take shelter.
We spent about an hour or so in Marina Barrage. It's an ok place. We think that WCP is a better place to fly a kite. After that we went to Tiong Bahru Plaza to have our dinner. Guess what? I met my ex-colleagues whom I had not met for 9 years!!! Unfortunately we had no time to take a picture together. What a waste!!

Luckily Jaimie found her temporary shelter hiding inside daddy's shirt and not mummy's!! :D

Enjoy the holiday!

'Addicted' to kite flying these days??? *wink*

There are really some photos I really love... Jaimie with hood and when she is UNDER Clement.... it feels like a reliable source of comfort for her... *smile*

Marina Barrage is such a beautiful venue and a good hangout for family. My kids like the big "open grass area" there:)
