Hot Air Bolloon Fiesta @ Putrajaya
Today was the last day for the fiesta and I didn’t miss it! I almost ‘missed’ it due to the hesitation but still I made up my mind going there to have an eye-opening as this is also the first-held in Malaysia.
In the afternoon, supposingly I will meet Richard at 3.30pm at Puchong, but when I was waiting for the time to pass, suddenly I received Jason’s call saying that he will fetch me within 20 minutes. I quickly get prepared and rushed like hell. When I opened my gate, I can’t see him around yet he said he’s already arrived, so I assumed that he went to the wrong street but same house plate number and it really was XD Okok… We then went to Petronas’ McD to meet Rames and Jennifer, we had our lunch there and off we go!

This was also my first time ‘using’ the new highway heading to Putrajaya/Cyberjaya, it’s just as straight as a pencil and we had already arrived. There were lots of people there already to witness the meaningful event although the balloon-fun-fly will start 6pm, yet we already there to enjoy suffer from the scorching sun. The area is very opened and not many shelters available, luckily I brought umbrella and towel. Since we got nothing to do, we bought our own balloon to take photos around after seeing Jennifer bought her Hello Kitty one :D We went to the place out of the event compound and start cam-whoring, LOL… No doubt, 3 of them took superb photos but mine only so-so =( I know… they have DSLR with so many lenses, I’m so jealous after seeing the result *pif* DAMN NICE LOH! The cloud was so clear and blue as well!
After a while, Richard had finally came and he joined us. We went back under the stupid hot sun to find place to shelter and buy drinks. Sigh… We have so many hours to waste just to wait until 6pm -_-
All we can do was seeing the paramotor flying around above us.
When the time has finally come, we used our Astro passes to gain permission going in to take photos while others only able to see from far behind the fence. There were so many photographers busy taking photos when the participants were busy setting up the balloon.
What I can do is drooling over people’s camera and just take whatever I could without bothering the stupid quality of the outcome.
Many balloons were successfully flying up to the sky, wee~~ The view was a totally amazing as if we were located at USA where got similar event like this. The colors of the hot balloon were so vibrant and distinctive too. Hrm… I wonder where the hot air balloon will go and where the ‘passangers’ will land (many question marks on my head). Argh… I must come here again next year with my ‘geng’ camera already! I don’t care!

After the event, we went to have dinner at Citrus Park without Jason as he’s going back to have dinner instead.

It was an extremely hot day but thank God for granting us good weather with hot and clear sky for the entire day. Thanks to Richard, Rames, Jason and Jennifer for being there to make a great day together. After all, this was my first time joining “siao gang’ photography session and I really learned a lot from them. Thankies!
