17/5
went somewhere far far away to fly kites.
is kinda windy that day,so its perfect for us to practice launching a kite. ;)
i can fly a kite!i can fly a kite!i can fly a kite! haha
i even google 'how to fly a kite professionally" lol
google said:
  1. Check your local weather report to determine if conditions are favorable for kite flying. Look for light to moderate winds if you're a beginning kite flier or gustier winds if you are more experienced. A wind speed of 5 to 15 mph is best for kite flying. wth -_- so ma fan wan
  2. Find a large and windy open area free of trees and power lines - two things that are notoriously dangerous for kites and their owners. big field like this!!?
  3. Hold the kite in both hands and toss it lightly into the wind until the wind catches it. This works well when the wind is moderately strong.
  4. Alternatively, let out a small length of kite string and, holding the string in your hand, run with the kite behind you until the wind lifts it.
  5. Begin letting out string until the kite reaches a height with which you are comfortable. Good heights generally range from 50 to 100 feet.
  6. Keep an eye on your kite, as it may come crashing down because of sudden changes in wind. If it dips, run or pull in the string a bit to give it some lift.
  7. Bring the kite down by slowly winding the kite string around a kite spool.
  8. Reach out and grab the kite before it hits the ground to avoid damaging it.


okay,i don't think people will be interested in these craps instruction.but is really fun when you see your kites flying up high. ;D like this!



and we saw some "kite pro" flying wau there, do you know wau and kite are difference?
just for your information in northern Malaysia, kites are known as “ Wau”. The fascination in wau can only be experienced when we see the huge wau swaying in the blue skies. wau is much more huge size than a kite and they normally heavier than kites. people who fly a wau usually wear a glove because the string that hold the wau hurts.
and a wau mostly costs >rm100~rm200 and you can get a big kite around rm15 only!
anyway, we bought 3 wau =D


late at night, went dinner with whole chew/chiew hooi and tan family.
we keep craping around and make lots of noise.
