We met at Clementi MRT station and took the free shuttle bus to the event venue. There were already lots of people when we reached there at around 3.15pm. Many people had brought mats and seemed ready for a picnic. We made our way to the kite-flying area and started taking photos. I haven't flown a kite for a long time and so was rather happy to see so many kites of various shapes and sizes in the sky.

There was something for everyone at the event. Besides kite flying, there were stage performances from various groups, as well as booths that taught kite-making, balloon sculpturing and even juggling! Everyone seemed to have lots of fun. Free goodies bags were also given out, so 小花 and I went to join the queue, though we "accidentally" jumped queue when there was a break in between :P
The weather was sunny and windy, which was actually a very good day for flying kites. However, we were sweating profusely and ended up resting at a nearby shelter after being under the sun for almost one and a half hours. Later, we were joined by a couple with 2 dogs and was amused that one of the dogs kept panting very loudly (as if it was on a motor).
It was about 5.30pm when we went to queue for free kites. However, we did not fly the kites and left soon after. As it was very hot, we wanted to have dinner at an air-conditioned place. There was only 1 bus at the bus stop and it passes by West Mall, so we decided to eat at the McDonald's there before going home.
Overall, it was an enjoyable day. Hope we can have more of such photo trips in future :)
