One of my family’s past times is kite flying. It is wonderful to see my kids running carefreely while pulling the strings of their kites and it is a nice view to see many kites soaring in the sky together, especially in their different designs and patterns. I have written several posts before on kite flying experiences and venues in Singapore. A reader introduced me to stunt kites and I have seen more people having fun with them.

We came across an advertisement on an inaugural NTUC Income Kite Flying Festival in Singapore on 29 and 30 August. The event is free and will be held at West Coast Park, Grand Lawn. There will be music and dance performances, together with kite flying tips by kite Masters.

We cannot wait for the days to come to join other kite flyers at the Kite Festival and also enjoy the free performances! My boys will enjoy playing “catching” in the wide open field.

Here is a short video clip on the amazing performance of stunt kite. Enjoy viewing!

We finally joined the kite flying crowd at the land besides Farmway LRT station in Sengkang, Singapore. To our disappointment, the wind was not too strong. Out S$2 kite did not manage to stay in the sky for too long.

My three muskateers managed to have their fair share of fun RUNNING ….. running to lift the kite up the sky, running to keep the kite in the sky (since there is hardly any wind) and running after the kite once it started flying in the sky. It was quite a funny sight!

I managed to capture the photos of those colourful kites which are doing their best to soar in the sky without the natural element of a strong wind. Though the view was not as awesome as last week, it was still quite a nice display in the sky…and it is always so peaceful to view these kites soaring carefreely.

By the way, I discovered that the 7-Eleven Store at Anchorvale Community Club (opposite the current hot-favourite spot for kite-flying) sells low-cost and basic kites
