.:. Tsubasa .:.

Soar like the kite.

Went to the Marina Barage for kite flying as well as to celebrate Wendy's birthday. Which was why this post failed to meet my weekly sunday upload schedule, but with an extra 2 days of holiday, who cares XD! Since we gotta celebrate her birthday and she wanted to kite fly, why not combine it. Picnic style gathering, so everyone brought some kind of food. Had pie, cake (albeit a very small one), snacks and drinks.

I brought Don's Pie over! Hehe. Luv that pie. Super nice! Had to call to make reservation the day before. Then on the day itself wake up earlier to go to clarke quay to collect it. But it was worth the effort :). Everyone got to try it. Best pie ever. Inside wasn't jus potato mush, there was real and plentiful chunks of meat that weren't over cooked. And each slice had half a egg to it. With a tinge of peppery taste to it, PERFECT!

As usual ppl late, waited for everyone to arrive, then bus to barage. Initially I was worried that it would be super crowded cos apparently there was some kinda event being held on the same day. Lucky we manage to go and hide in the back of the porch which was totally empty. Laid out all the food on the mat/groundsheet that thankfully Ryan brought. Then the rest went to "fly" kite. Or rather attempted to. They took the kite and started to run with it, hoping it will catch the wind and fly. Futile. Haha! So after running like dunnoe how many sprints around the field, they decided to give up and rest, just as Wendy was arriving. Which was also good cos the cake was melting beyond salvage. Well it has been out of the fridge for 4 hours. We could hardly stick the candles into it HAHA! So with a very fast version of birthday songs in 4 songs, she blew the candles.

So we started eating. Yay pie! Then we went to play frisbee :). At least this time it was better than the previous few times GOF attempted to play frisbee. Even Sushan manage to catch the frisbee lor, thou it was funny how each successful catch she did she will stun for afew second haha! Still it was good to frisbee after so long, and know that I still remember how to do overhead throw from that one lesson in SCS CAT haha!

Suddenly we all felt wind in the air, and all switched back to kite flying. Of which then we realize the dumbest mistake any noob wanting to fly kite can make. We need wind to fly kite HAHA! This time there wasn't any need to run, jus release and the kite will fly. Even I got to get the kite up on my 3rd try. And manage to flew until the line maxed out. Achievement unlocked XD. Thou we onli knew how to fly the triangle shaped ones. The classic diamond shaped ones somehow seems to just favour twirling in circles lolz.

By then it was close to 4+5pm liao. Having successfully flown a kite, and alot of ppl complaining from sunburn pain, we called an end to our outing :). Another outing/birthday celebration achieved, with quite a good attendance from GOF as well. Yay!

On a side note. During the outing, Zhiyong made a comment, saying that if one were to say one was to have a hobby such as kite flying, it wouldn't sound as cool. I see where he's coming from, but I dun think I agree with it. I'm also a fellow Hobby enthusiast, someone with a burning passion for some kinda of hobby. A hobby is something that is very personal, and from there it extends into something that is sociable. We each have a hobby that we love, not because of others, but because of the activity itself. Irregardless of the company, we simply dive into it. And slowly by uncovering the secrets of the hobby, we discover friends who own the same passion as we do. And that's when hobby gets sociable, bonding with a group of people you wouldn't have anything in common except the love for the hobby.

It's not about being cool or wat. Telling a girl I'm into Gundam Modelling and spending hours per session trying to finish one kit isn't cool sounding at all. But That's the point. A hobby is for myself only. You're not trying to impress others with it, nor are you trying to make friends from it. Yes having people who appreciates your hobby is a perk, but in the end the one partaking in the hobby is you. And the one who enjoys is You :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just like a kite,
starting in a mess,
of unclear instructions.

You slowly learn,
starting from srcatch,
seeing your dream kite.

Throwing it into the air,
struggling with effort,
but never giving up.

With determination,
and passion,
it soars high and up.

And then u smile,
because in the vast sky,
your kite is with others,
realising you're not alone.

Yume~

Looking up to the sun
Flying high, up high on wings
The heat dissolves them
and he falls into the deep sea.

A single tear drops into the serene water, creating a wave
That wave is blown by the wind and reaches far away.

The moon gently massages my shoulders
reflecting a yellow path on the water surface.
