2010 Hot Air Balloon Fiesta

On Sunday, m3lv went to the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Putrajaya. Admission is free, parking is free and you can expect there were many peoples there!! Because its free!!

Thumbs down for the police controlling the traffic over there. They're making it hard for visitors. Trust me, they're really dumb!!

Actually I was hoping to see those fancy hot air balloon like Dark Vader but instead, m3lv only manage to see a total of 5 == 2 is lying on the ground, it is not being set up yet, 2 were hanging around and 1 was up in the air!!

Here are the pics...

They even have ticket booth selling tickets to sit on the air balloon. It cost RM10 for the "float" of a lifetime.

Then we went for a walk

They have the latest version~"On The Water" version

There's so many attractions around!! And we saw this!!

I thought this is for the disabled? Lolx!! Its called the "sit"-cycle

And they even have go-karts

Well~we did not play all of that. Instead we went for a walk around the park and this time...

Look at the size of that lense!!! If that's not big enough

But IMHO

Close Up

What's the closest distance you ever got near a bird?

One fine day

m3lv was lucky

Because there's a bird resting on top of my "aircond fan thingy" 

Without wasting much time

I grab my gears

Lol!! Shoot the bird!!

Wandering~Wondering~Pondering

Sadly, I did not open the window because If I do so the fella will fly away

So there's disturbance in the pic >< Gosh!!

WTF is that?

And Its staring at my gears

I like the eyes~Its like got LED there ><

Dead Prawns

We took them to a Bak Kut Teh restaurant in Old Klang Road as our dinner =) Nom nom nom!!

Fresh prawns!!

The 9th day

Last month during CNY, on the 8th day to be exact. Ignore the title 1st =P m3lv, the beloved  & the friends went to the Dong Zen temple in Jenjarom. People say that the temple is nice during CNY especially with decos.

The temple is big. And yes!! There are many decos around. But the decos which I think the most is...

Lanterns

So many lanterns around which makes me feels like its mooncake festival >< Anyway, let's move on.

We went to the "main hall". Its a very very very big and spacious hall!! And its very clean as well. If you do notice the 2 person in the picture, the kid and his dad. Look at their feet!!

Wrapping your feet!!

Its a must to wrap this If you do not want to take of your shoe!!

Pray pray

Then we went to another section/hall. Its more to like "Chinese Culture Hall".

The 1st pitstop was this

A portrait of "Guan Yin"

And a God ><

These 2 portraits are made by using thread!! They were not drawn by any artist!!

If you could see the lines =)

The thread are so thin. Well they did not use the normal sewing method of course. That'll take years to complete just the head of the God~Lolx!!

The machine which is use to create the portrait above

Then we went to the next floor.

There's a classroom ><

In here, you learn how to trace write Chinese characters.

So China style hor

The beloved tracing

She wanna trace 2

Though its just tracing. It ain't easy!! You'll need to sit upright position la then cannot hunch la....this la that la..boringggg...

Lotus Candles

After visiting those halls. We went out and walk walk. "Admiring" the decos around. And I found a very special fruit!!

A "Wu Lou" / gourd!! Cute can!!

2 Wu Lou looks like this...

Looks like boobs hanging =X

Then I saw a cute buddha

Little Buddha pointing up

We looked up & got prank by the buddha. There's nothing up there ><

Then we did abit of camwhore

Nikerz & Jesse

The 2 besties

KLCC =X

After done camwhoring...we pass thru a special gate

It write "Entrance to more decos"~Lol!! I can't read Chinese..No idea what the words means....

They even have wishing tree!! People throwing red cloth.

Its not easy to throw the cloth and get it stuck on the tree branch. I've seen people throwing the cloth and it fell to the floor. But those people did not give up. The throw and throw till it get stuck because they do not want to face the fact that they got no luck they are persistent to get their wish comes true!!

At the other decos area...

Found a super huge tiger!!

Then we saw Kung Fu Panda and his brother

He taught us KUNG FU!! ( Look at the guy on the right~Lol!!He learned Kung Fu too!!)

After done visiting all sections. Finally we make a move!!

We had Klang Bak Kut Teh

And we went to Nikerz friend's house to celebrate the ninth day of CNY. Which is the Hokkiens New Year!!

Offerings to the God

Roast pig!! Poor Pig ><

Them setting up the offerings for the God

Done!!

Burn baby burn!!Huat AR!!!!

After done praying. They wanna let go the "Kong Ming" Lantern

Setting up

Failed. The lantern fly up halfway and drop to the ground >< Wish did not come true

Its the 1st time I see the celebration in KL is like competition!! People putting fireworks everywhere in that kampung. It amaze me. These fireworks don't cost you lil. Its expensive!! But...once in a year oklah. Lol!!

When Nikerz open his car boot. Guess what?

Full of explosives!!

And there's a biggest fireworks that I've ever seen!!

That's super big!!

Its like a XXL size dynamite!!

Many people in that neighborhood letting go the lantern.

And now I know the reason for this lantern being banned in M'sia. The liquid that they used to light was gasoline. And the lantern does not have a proper container to put the gasoline. When they release the lantern and it flew up. The gasoline was actually dripping!!

If you could see fire falling down from sky ><

So thats all about my CNY 

OK BYE
