Of sunburns, kites and sands




It’s to the sandy beach again as the March intake’s orientation trip goes all the way to the much wind blowing spot that is Morib. A kite designing competition was to take place on that day and it did.

The rest, I will let the pictures do the talking. . .


A crowd dying to go fly kite

Group sorting session

Rabbit ears group

Full scale senior group

Hiking group

Sun glare on face group

Not paying attention while the photographer is talking group

Degree cum diploma group

Gay group

Lecturer's face says: I'm going to have fine dining tonight

Lecturer's face says: High score within reach

Lecturer's face says: My ice cream melted under extreme heat

Mini act by the juniors

Each group was then handed a plain kite to mark the start of the competition. . .


. . . and designing came soon after


Within a few hours the designing process was completed and each and every group had their share of presenting it to the judges.


Since we were loaded with kites at midday and the wind was strong, we flew kites.


While some were enjoying themselves with the traditional way of flying kites, some tried a different and interesting approach.


The one finger method

While some professionals had their own set of artillery

Not forgetting to mention the amount of kites they can control at once (more outside screen)

Images like these can be creepy at night (by the way, its a kite)

Prize-giving ceremony to the best design, high flyers and to the organizer



The day ended peacefully. . . until five hooligans decided to throw the friendly photographer into the ocean.


Poor chap, luckily he managed to escape

Special thanks to the event planner Brian Novanto
