Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2010

Contrary to popular belief among the people at my office, most of my blog readers DO NOT know which company I am working with and they don’t even know which part of Klang Valley that my office is located. But today I am gonna tell you the secret. I work in Putrajaya.

It is the city of Government administrative; slow lady drivers and beautiful-beautiful scenery. My office is soon moving out of this city and I am very much melancholic, I will miss this gorgeous place not the drivers entirely.

Last Thursday as was walking to my office jamban, I looked out the window and saw this. Yes, my office has the most gorgeous view, even from the walkway to the loo you would wanna stop and admire the panorama.

The Putrajaya International Hot Air Ballon Fiesta had started. Weee~~

So terpaksalah tahan kencing sekejap and snap snap some photos to show Miki later. I knew my son would get ecstatic!

From afar these pretty balloons seemed like the latest fancy ornaments to the peaceful green landscape.

Can you see the purple balloons with red hearts flying exactly on top of  the Millennium Monument ( Monumen Alaf Baru)? I was imagining it falling down and the jarum tajam tu cucuk montot pilot dia wakakakakaa… Gelak-gelak sorang-sorang baru teringat tadi kan aku nak kencing… ok bye pi sheeshee dulu!

On Friday Azman picked me up from work at around 6. He brought Miki along so we went straight to the Fiesta. Miki was so excited looking at the huge balloons I think he enjoyed himself more than when we were watching Disney on Ice.  Above picture is ourselves with the Balloon from the movie UP. Check out Miki’s angry face. He was crossed with his Dad for asking him to take his eyes off the balloon FOR TWO SECONDS ONLY and get a picture taken!!

Head of Darth Vader balloon

Head of Budak balloon… eehhh???

Because Miki was unable to stop talking about the balloons on Friday night and the following morning. we just had to come again. When we wanted to get some teh tarik at the Mamak’s (his favourite place sebab ada jual Sugus) Miki even voiced out his frustration  when we pulled over at the parking lot. “Apa mamak-mamak ni?!! Miki nak tengok belon!!”

Ehh first time taknak pergi Mamak.. Selama hari ni penuh semangat 1India 1Malaysia…

Above picture is me looking like a cekodok basi and Miki still protesting about having to turn around from the colorful balloon from UP and balloon shaped like a Levi’s straight cut jeans. Although I don’t wear straight cut ( I will wear skinny jeans for as long as my thunder thighs would allow), I feel this jeans balloon. It has a butt flatter than mine. tsk tsk tsk…

Miki and Daddy with “Belon yang ada mata…” kata Miki. There was another balloon that seemed to be wearing sunglasses but we didn’t manage to take its picture. On Friday, the pilot was having a hard time getting it into the air due to the wind; Miki was impatient and he said “Apa belon ni… pakai spek-pakai spek je… tak bangun-bangun!”

I got the feeling that Miki is gonna be quite a critic when he grows up.

This is how the launch the hot air balloon into the sky. Looks hot to me.

Smiley black balloon. Miki just couldn’t look at the camera! It was either that balloon or this balloon or the Spongebob balloon that cost RM5 each.

Pretty and colorful!

I don’t know what Miki was doing maybe he was dreaming of flying high in one of the balloons.

Just like any other parents, it gives us the biggest pleasure seeing our child happy. Mummy and Daddy would fly you to the moon and back if we could Miki, but you have to always be good person to God and to everyone around you Ok? And no kicking MinMin on tummy too! I love you!
