4th Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2012

The annual event in Putrajaya, the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta is being held in Precinct 2 from 15th to 18th March 2012. I went there with friends on the second day of the fiesta. Putrajaya located not far from UPM and it is also where the government head quarter located. It is much more well-organised as compared to Kuala Lumpur. Anyway this is my personal opinion for being there for twice.
Go back to the topic... We reached there at 8am and managed to park our car at 8.30am. The event started on time and we missed the Hare and Hound Competition. We only get to see a few significant hot air balloon from foreign before they take off.
Public are not allowed to enter compound where the Tethered Rides takes place. Only those who bought ticket for the ride or with DSLR are allowed to enter. I have a friend with DSLR too so we entered for shooting. So glad that it was sunny day. Yeah!! I was so worrying if it would rain on the morning.

Tethered Rides takes place here.
How big is the hot air balloon. We are so tiny.

RM10 per person for a 5 minutes ride. It brings you up few meters from the ground.

Feel like hugging it.
LOL

Lady reporter is on duty.

This is where we can look at the inner part of the hot air balloon. Air is being pumped into the balloon and you may pay RM2 to enter for shooting if I am not mistaken.
Huge!!!
 We moved to the other Tethered Rides venue. Still, a lot of people queuing for a ride.

Girls with colours.
Life is great when it is filled with all kinds of colours, isn't it?

Closer look

I shall say the theme at this area is COLOURFUL!!

The ropes holding the balloon so that you have no chance to fly away.
LOL

Photo of the day. At the first sight, I had a feeling that we were in foreign country. LOL
Anyway, this pic got more than 20 likes on Facebook. Frankly, every like to my shoot is kind of encouragement.
Thank you for the like, I like this too.

Other than hot air balloon, there are still a lot of activities there including Paintball, Water Orb, Bumper Orb, Pocket Bike, KMX Kart etc. May have fun besides seeing balloon.
