Reached the 2nd Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta about 1130am Sunday morning and only 3 hot air balloons were there to take all the excited kids and adults to the sky~ There were no Darth Vader balloon or other interesting balloons that were mentioned in the newspaper.
The weather was so hot. It was so hot I'm almost as dried as ikan masin. Thankfully there was no rice and sambal belacan to go with it. The hotness was generated by the millions of cars coming to the fiesta that morning. The cursing from the guests who had to park their car far from the event added the hotness.
It's an event with only 3 hot air balloons and people showing off with their DSLR cameras. From standard one students to the senior citizens were holding a black DSLR. Unfortunately, the quality of the pictures taken were questionable. I do know the principle of amateur photographers; It's not about the quality or creativity of the picture, it's all about how complicated you bend your asses while taking the picture.
Next time I probably bring my black Adidas shoe box and by holding it and bending my ass as complicated as my ass can perform as an ass, people would think I'm a good photographer.
RM10 for a five minute ride in the hot balloon is a pure waste of money. The ride was not even higher than a 3rd floor of a school block. Plus you are somehow contributing a certain percentage towards global warming.
There was no thrill in riding the hot air balloon as no death will be involved if someone decided to jump off the balloon's basket.
Here's how to simulate a hot air balloon experience. Get yourself a nice black tong sampah, and a nice bunsen burner. A cooking stove is excellent. Put everything on a 3rd floor corridor of a school block. Get into the tong sampah. Start the stove and voila!, with a good fantasy, you are in a hot air balloon. But even better, you are the fat little boy in Up!
The gang.
