Aaaargh! I have been sick for a week and I have to be sick again?! That's so unfair... Nothing is really fair in this world anyway...Though sometimes the weather is fair... but.. mostly, it'll soon rain after that... and that makes the credibility of the " oh.. the weather is fair.." dubious... Anyway, putting aside that.. since its 1:20am now.. I am going to fly kite at marina something... i don't know where's that... I have never flown any kites in Singapore for the entire 11 years over here.. but I'd still remember when I was young, my cousin, kuan, will cut and paste here and there and wah la... a wau is successfully created.. His kite-making skills are one of the best in his kampong... The skeleton of his wau is taken from spiky (don't remember what kinda trees) twigs.. if i am not wrong, its from the oil palm tree... their twigs are very strong... then he'll use newpapers and stick around the bones with starchy glue... *tada* a simple wau is made... hmm... his wau is not those decoration type of wau... his is those seriously huge waus which malaysians use it as a small amblem... anyway, he'll test its abilities.. and he'll attach a super thick thread... the thread are dangerous as its their so called "glass threads"... cos it'll probably cut a person if its hanging on air... the speed and power is pretty dangerous for a young girl like me back then... or maybe so, just to scare me... hahaha... alright... since i am the apple in their eyes and their nightmare too, they'll always give in to me and let me do whatever i like... recently, look told me that i was a terror and their nightmare when i was young... they say i am temperamental and "da siao jie" when i was young.. haha.. i didn't know that...hahaha... oh ya.. back to kite flying... kuan will ask me to hold on to the kite at one side and he'll start pulling the string... when it fails to go up, he'll throw the ball of strings over the overhead cables (remember, we are in malaysia, so u have put yourself in a ulu kampong...).. brilliant ain't it... so, i'll still hold on to the kite and he'll just pull... and woosh... the kite is half way up in the mid air.... then, kuan will let go some more thread and the kite is freely flying up high... Beautiful isn't it... ok.. the worst scenario is, the string snaps and the kite will just fall into the jungle... we can still make more... hehe... ok... *snaps* snaps back... pretty excited when zhuyang first asks me about the whole thing... i flown back to my past... but you guys see, tomorrow's christina's birthday and we're going to celebrate for her.. so she is the princess tomorrow...
