Before you buy, you can test out my Pepper 5.5 and Blaze 5.0 first. See it for yourself if you like it. As for Buster II, sorry sir, I can't help you.

But a lot of ppl say, unless you've flown many many kites, you wouldn't know the difference between a Blade III and a Blaze. Hahahahaha.......think about it.

MA has got about 43,524 different kites.

That bad huh?

OK, this Friday evening, I'll make a trip to Tuas South. Will probably be there early, 4pm. Later need to fetch wifey.

[Mad Armour]

WOW! Wind for 24hrs again! Think I'll go to Bishan this evening to test things out first.

The place I went is near the Tuas Power Station. If you face the station, you must turn right. Then go straight down the road to a small Police container box. Go past this box. It's the field on the right of this box. Many tufts of stiff grass, mimosa and things sticking out of the ground. Sand is soft. The pipes sticking out of the ground make for good kite stakes.

I think it is as the website already states "Made in China"

Thanks for ordering for me.

Your Pink Legend has just landed!

Think I'll go to the field extremekite pointed out. Somehow, stiff grass, mimosa and things sticking out of the ground doesn't sound that inviting to me.

So when you want your kite? Just checked the postage. It's 376 yuan, which's about $74! It's 1/3 the cost of the kite.

MA - u are really into torturing people like me. I keep seeing those nice kite in bag pics once they arrive. Must really ask Home CFO whether I can get one of my own.

At $116 for a 3.0M foil, PLUS free courier, you can't ask for more.....hahahahaha.

Er...this IS the field he goes to. I called him up to check with him. As for the kite, I think earliest is next week. Maybe Thursday or Friday.

[haowee]

Just now I saw two ppl flying a kite at bishan park. Blue kite.

Not that bad lah. You hardly see mimosa if you walk in for about 50m. Look at the photos that another guy posted on the site. And I don't remember seeing lots of stiff grass as well.

It's a field from heaven, and believe me, this is not the peak of the wind scale yet. But it's damn hot there.

Going there this Sunday to buggy. But do watch out for Police, sometime they are too free or may be not many bad guys running around, they will ask for your IC and autograph. I'll tell them to fly kite with me.

Hot is right. Absolutely no shade. Those driving there may want to think of a way to rig some sort of shelter using ground sheet, comms cord, back door of SUV/MPV, and whatever. Bring a cooler of beer, soft drinks and ice. And plain water.

If you buggy, don't u have to look out for pipes and small mounds? And zipping past those mimosa bushes can rip skin. However, it still sounds like fun. And for those with kites bigger than 3M, it's harness territory there. And a ground stake will be brought the next time i go.

Anyway, what time Sunday? Can anybody pick me up along the NEL up til Outram, or along the E-W MRT line from Outram to Boon Lay? ;)

I think during weekdays, the police post not manned. I didn't see anyone in there. Also, you must have been a naughty policeman to be stationed there for duty on a weekend.
