hot air balloon fiesta!



hot air balloons

last friday, i took a day off to watch this hot air ballon fiesta at putrajaya. i even called my mom on thursday, asking her to come to putrajaya and joined me. it turned out that my dad was already planning to go to putrajaya that day! so after work on thursday, i went to ioi mall to watch the devil inside. the movie was really dissapointing! don't ever go and watch it, huhu... after the movie, i went to kak ala's house because my parents had already arrived.

i planned to wake up early on friday to queue and buy the hot air balloon ride ticket. i did wake up early but not as early as intended. i went to pick up my mom and we arrived there at about 9am. naturally, the tickets were all sold out! i know that the 'ride' would mean just hovering above the ground but i didn't know that it would be so low, about 20m. so, i cancelled my early plan to ride it.

before that, i already called my brother regarding the balloon ride. he asked me to bought the tickets for him and his sons. so, i queued again in thye evening. there were two session for the ride, one in the morning and the other one in the evening. the evening ticket will be sold on 5.30pm. i went there on 4.10pm and a very long queue had already formed. tickets were limited to 300 per session.

so watching the queue and doing some calculation, it's more than 300 people already because one person can buy up to four tickets. but, i still queue. and not long after i joined the long line, the organizer told us that the tickets were already sold up (they already count the people) and told us to come again the next day on 6am!! that's it for the hot air ballon ride, hehe...

we went back to kak ala's house and accindentally we had a family gathering. everybody's there except for my sister (she's in london) and her husband (working) and alif (left at home with putri). kak ala bought sate, mee hoon sup, roti john and cendol. yummy! that's all for now, until later...
