The event is from 19 - 22 March 2009 but i went on Sunday, 22 March 2009 the last day of the event.



this is the interesting one - Nescafe balloon


I went there with my friend, Chong & met my sister, AxiaoC with her friend there. What a coincidence? What surprised me is that so many people come for this event too. Even more surprised to see many photographer enthusiasts all come equipped with their big DSLR cameras.

Many people - my friend, Chong & me; AxiaoC & her friend

Many came with their families & young children, many young people came with their group of friends or in couples. There was a Balloon fun fly but on this day it was reserved for charity group & not open to public....sob sob
The organiser open the resticted area of fly-off to public for about half an hour for the enthusiasts to take a clearer pictures of setting up & flying a hot-air balloon. Entrance is only allowed for those people with cameras... he he he he...Luckily all of us bring camera... yeah we can go in.
Being a camwhore, so we snapped our photos all the way until we're being chased off by the organiser....
After getting out from the restricted area.... we went to explore other parts of Putrajaya.... & we found out an interesting activitiy... WAIT FOR MY NEXT POST.... HE HE
