4th International Putrajaya Hot Air Balloon Fiesta
Have been missing this event for 2 years. Special thanks to Joel for telling me about it if not I will be missing it again.
Reached there around 2pm. Was kinda disappointed as I did not saw a single hot air balloon up in the sky. I was told that hot air balloon will set up for rise in the evening. Vivien suggest that we could give a try on queuing up for the hot air balloon ride. So, we take our turn by waiting in line and spend time wandering around the fiesta since the ticket only open for sale at 4.30pm.
Was quite pissed off when I'm in the line because they did not made their promise by opening the queue on time. There's even argument involved when they distribute the ticket numbers to us as someone tries to cut queue. At first, we thought we won't able to get the tickets but we manage to get it and we're so lucky as when it's our turn, our numbers are 282-286! In case you don't know, there's only 2 sessions per day and they only open to limited 300 tickets per session. For your information, 1 person are capable of purchasing 3 tickets at a time.
When it comes to evening, the sky seems dark as if it's gonna rain. Vivien and I were praying hard that it won't rain if not all this waiting will be waste.
We were waiting for them to set the balloon up but unfortunately it fail. Can't blame them as the weather wasn't good that time.

As they were trying hard to set up the balloons, on the other side there's already balloon ready to fly so we ran to the other side

After that, we head back the other side for our hot air balloon ride. It was a long queue and we waited for long till all of us went crazy as we are exhausted as we have been standing for long.

Finally it's our turn! Vivien and her sisters went up first and then followed by us. We were so lucky as we were up in the hot air balloon, the fireworks just set up right in front of our eyes!
