hey everyone!! haha.. i am back from the hot air balloon flight with lots of pictures.. it is hot on the ground level but windy flying in the air.. so cool.. alright here are the details for everyone.. if you are interested to take the ride too, the prices are at $23 for adult and i think $13 for children and $2 for toddlers.. there is also a special privilege for those who took the ride.. you can take a 2nd ride for $13 (adults) within 24 hours of the 1st ride.. cool huh?? actually today was the family day of my mothers company.. they invited some artist to draw a picture of me.. but somehow i think it doesn't look like me at all.. (hey!! i queued very long for it okay!!) get ready for an exciting ride on board the hot air balloon.. please never get on board it when you are AFRIAD OF HEIGHTS.. here it goes...





That's the queue where you wait for your ride.. under the hot sunny sun..














On the way up to the 'summit'
(mother, brother & me)








Here it is in the mid-air.. no scenery and worst of all no wind..











At the highest height... hmm windy and cooling.. i don't mind not going down.. seriously!!








Day scenery of buildings near bugis..











This is what you see when you look down!! nothing special.. cars are really small down there..








Taken through the centre of the hot air balloon.. is it cool.. haha.. that's what you will see if you want to skydive.. or perhaps the things below will turn out smaller..







The benjamin shears bridge is over there.. and suntec city on the right..










There!! the spikey durian over there.. it's the esplanade!! and the white long 'chopsticks'... those are memorial sites..








Hmmm.. drawn by an artist.. don't they look the same?? except its a little fake.. :X









Actually i am not sure what are those buildings there.. just snap it for fun..











from my hair, can you guess how strong is the wind??










That's the place where we launch off.. the brown colour patch in the middle is the launching pad..





Off we descend to the ground.. its a 10 to 15 mins ride.. i believe you will enjoy it.. But i think seeing my picture is as good as taking the ride.. so all of you can save your money!! =)





Here we are back on the land.. it feels much better on the land except that its really hot.. I guess this hot air balloon is sponsored by DHL???









That's the hot air balloon.. its huge..












That's the turkish ice cream man.. he does lots of tricks for you to see when he scoops out the ice cream.. do buy an ice cream when you see him because you will be entertained..




Got this stupid ucler on my lip.. so damn pain.. wonder when will it 'disappear'..
