Cycling n kite flying trip.

Finally meet up with XinLing, Erica n Hanwei yest aft being back for 2 wks. We agreed to go ECP for cycling den for lunch. The bikes are priced at $5 for 2 hours which seems to be pretty reasonable to me. 2 hrs of ridding is more than enough. Any more and i will get a sore butt. I wonder how did i manage to cycle from WDL to Seletar resevior 3 yrs ago. I wonder how my butt had felt.

After 2 hrs of cycling, Ahmad Lee drove us to Marine Parade for lunch at the hawker center. We had chicken rice but the chicken wasnt tender n the rice wasnt good enough. Personally, i felt tt i can find better chicken rice in Melb. But well, we had choose the wrong stall. What to do. While eating i suggested going kite flying at Marina Square. They allowed. Real nice of them considering the fact that it was a burning day and kite flying at 2pm doesnt sounds very cooling. They did complained a bit but still went with me. It was fun. I lost $3.50 within 10mins. I flew out of string. Hai.. Cant be help. Who ask me to be so pro. Haha.. But i really like to fly kites.

Erica asked me what i intend to do when the string runs out and i said depends on e situation. If it wants to go, den let it be. If it wants to stay den let it be. In e end, the 200 yards runs our faster than i'd expected. I was stunned for a moment den i started chasing after it. But i cldnt catch up. It flew off. I was disappointed. It was written all over my face. Erica asked me why. Since i already told her that i will let it go if it wants to. I thought for a moment before replying that i wasnt prepared for it to leave at such short notice hence the shock and the need to get it back.

The kite dropped after a while. I just hoped that It didnt fall on to the road and cause any accident. I kept the only thing left, the black thing, dun noe what its called, thats to hold the string. This is the 2nd kite that i'd flew and that had left me. I regreted not keeping the first. I wonder if its still around. Maybe someday i shld go ask for it!
