Kite festival 2011

We visited The Promontory @ Marina Bay Kite Festival on Saturday evening as Shin has been asking to go kite flying for sometime. The event started at 4pm but we reached only around 6 plus as Shin woke up late from her afternoon nap and I wanted her to have dinner at home (apart from the few unfortunate injuries that Shin sustained in the past few weeks, she has also been plagued with occasional bouts of stomach cramps and diarrhea).

It was a good thing we went late. The windy cool weather was awesome and the atmosphere relaxed with lots of families chilling out and buskers entertaining crowds for a good stretch of the bay. There wasn’t any spectacular kites (just the normal huge ones) but it didn’t matter. The thing was that for once, it felt like we were in a temperate country — no humidity or overcrowding or stressed locals spotted in the vicinity! It was definitely an enjoyable walk for me despite having to carry my 38.5-week belly around.

The best part for us was to see Shin having a good time exploring the area, looking at kites and checking out Singa the Courtesy Lions lining the walkway, knowing full well that she could be cooped up at home for sometime and have to share the attention with Didi once I pop.
