iPay @ Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2015, Putrajaya

The 7th International Putrajaya Balloon Fiesta 2015 takes place in Putrajaya from 12th-15th March. Let me begin with a brief introduction on this event. This event first took place in 2009, and has fast become one of the most famous events in Malaysia. Every year, selected balloonists from all over the world are invited to Putrajaya to fly their amazing balloons for all to see.



There will be many colourful balloons from 13 countries, including the USA, Germany, Netherlands, France and more.  This event is expected to attract 300,000 visitors this year. Of course, I’m one of them. 

It's started around 7am. I still able to see the preparation before balloons fly high.



Keep it up! Grow bigger! 
Opps. Getting pack here as balloons are growing! 

Loading... ... 98%. Yeah! They are getting ready to fly. 

Balloons are not launched at the same time but one by one. Everyone is so excited when seeing colourful balloons in unique shapes. 

They are able to fly higher than plane!

Obviously, this is by Korea.

Special but scary balloon. :D
I bring along my favourite bunny to take part in this attractive and colourful event too.

Not limited morning activity, The Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta's highlights include the Night Glow with firework Show, an audio visual display of lights, music and balloons. It is definitely a fun event for the family.

This year, another Hot Air Balloon Fiesta held in Penang on last month too! This would be annual event in Penang. So if you miss out this round, no worries. You may either join Penang Fiesta or Putrajaya by next year! I probably still attend Night glow next year.

iPlay @ Singapore

I spent my last weekend in Singapore - an island just next to my homeland.

Its so easy to plan a trip in Singapore because the public transport system (taxi, bus, and the MRT) is very efficient. Every attraction that I visited were within walking distance from the MRT station. 


I decided to start my journey by paying a visit to S.E.A. Aquarium @ Resort World Sentosa. This marine life park contains over 800 species of marine animals, swimming in almost 12 million gallons of water. This used to be the worlds largest aquarium. Im so excited to meet up with fish, especially Giant manta ray! 
Blue sky and white clouds. Before entering the Aquarium.
Great white and hammer head sharks are waving their tails at me when I entered the Aquarium.

I feel like I'm entered into a magic world when I walked into jelly fish section. The light in the tank changes color from time to time. It makes the jelly fish change from red to green, green to purple, and purple to blue..

Very big tank that is filled with colourful fish and live coral. 

Say cheese! Cute little yellow ray. 


Flying carpet - Giant Manta Ray

I spent around two hours here. This is by far, the top aquarium I have seen! The entry price of S$38 is totally worth it!

A visit to the Gardens by the bay is a must in Singapore nowadays. It is only five minutes walking distance from the Bayfront MRT station. I strolled around the garden and there is no entrance fee. 


View from Dragonfly Bridge.
The night view at Gardens by the bay is highly recommended and I wasn't disappointed. 
Entertained by the music and light show.

Hello everybody!
She had a happy moment @ Arab Street

I will definitely go to Singapore again as there were a lot of attractions that I was not able to visit during this trip.

Hope to see you soon!
