On the day Genevieve (my niece) completed her Grade 3 piano practical examination..... we trooped down to the Marina Barrage. To fly kite! Literally so... ha ha ha. It was perfect weather condition for flying a kite.... and we did just that! I have always wanted to try that when I was a kid but never got down to it except trying to fly a kite in our small little 3-room HDB flat in Toa Payoh. Well, my brother and I managed to do quite a few things in that flat ... umm... riding a tricycle, roller skating, playing ping pong, playing badminton.... but never flying a kite! So the next time you feel that you need a breath of fresh air - just go fly a kite at Marina Barrage!
