This festival reflects the diversity of the people living in Darebin. There are community cultural celebrations involving people from all backgrounds in the areas.
This is the first time the Kites Festival is held here, I've never seen so many colourful pretty kites in one place before! It brought back childhood memories of kite-flying in Sibu where we always 'kite fight' each other by putting powdered glass glued to the string to make it 'sharp' so it can cut the string off the opponent's kite!
There was a lion dance on when we got there but these 2 lions were very lame. They look like they haven't eaten for days coz they were not very acrobatic like the ones we've seen during the CNY.
Oh..I just love looking at the different types of kites they have flying in the sky! Aren't they pretty?
Check out the hot grannies! I don't know what their performance was coz we got there late but I'm sure they were a hit with the older men!
Oo..more kites, did I tell you that I love kites?
Here's a colourful figure at the festival, he just walks around trying to be funny but failing miserably. Well, maybe the kids love him and thought him funny.
Check out this round kite, bit like a 'Stargate". I wouldn't mind one of those..nah! No time to play with kites anymore.
There were community stalls all over the park like the Yarra Valley Water stall, Commonwealth Games Information stall and Preston Photography Club stall to name just a few.
And did I mentioned there's a kite festival on too? I did? Sorry but I just can't get enough of them!

Judging by your massive pics collection, you do go around when you're not working, huh?
Sometime last year, my lawnman had a freak accident when his throat was cut by the string of a kite... 'cos of the "kaca" as you had described. :(

Continue your good work, Wuching & Sisuahlai & other bloggers!
I've tried flying kite once on a hill(good for flying kite) and the other time just running up and down in front of my house which I failed miserably...no wind :(.
amelia: sisuahlai's a big boy now so don't worry too much. i left some encouraging words too but somehow it wouldn't show up?
che-cheh: were u running in the direction of the wind blowing or against it? :)
Thanks, mate. :)
nice kites :)
kinda reminds me of my childhood days of making my own kites... *sigh* nowadays, kids just seem contended with PSPs...
amelia: you're welcome
jeremy: nowadays kids don't know how to have real fun..
Go fly a kite! Isn't there an English expressions like that? Think it means' "Get lost!" My...my...thank God for the kites! At least that'e more interesting than the "lau cha boh"!!!
My house area is not windy enough or because that kite was hand made by me that's why cannot fly. LOL
STP: c'mon, i know u heart the lau cha boh!
che-cheh: ask jeremy for help on making kites, he's good at it.
kites - nice....isnt it nice to remember how to make one ourselves and then fly them
Hahahaha, Wuching flies kite.
BTW, Helen ah, if you are reading this, you dem blur ler. Wuching WAS on my blog and you still wondering where his pic is. Isk, how to be detective?
foodcrazee: but i can't remember how to make them anymore..:(
5xmom: nolah, just watching only lah, they wouldn't let me play..:(

Lilian & Wuching - I just made the discovery of the century.....now only I know Wuching is a 'he'!!
MUAHARHARHAR ** looking for hole to crawl inside **
Niamah, in all fairness, Wuching go write something on your bloggers profile lar!! Wuching reminded me of Wu Kam... (the ex-sexpot) lol
SO sorry.... ** very embarassed.. want to die liao!! **
....and I thought you had the hots for Jeremy!!
helen: i don't blame u for mistaken me for a 'she' coz ur not the first one & certainly not the last to make that mistake! there r still lots of bloggers out there who thinks i'm a ja boh, i don't mind, gimme more anonymity! question is, r u dissapointed that i'm a 'he'? hehe!
i don't know who 'wu kam' is but i've certainly no relation to him/her. & i don't have the hots for jeremy! u have very good imagination, wanna write my movie scripts?
Oh no! Wuching...now that you have said it... Jem's going to be "hampa" (Malay word: devastated). hehehe ;)
