playing together..

For a while now, a few of us have been promoting the flying of quad line kites and a recent check with Lao-Zhang, he told me that there are at least 100 flyers which have quad line kites... BUT where are they? I have hardly seen any other, apart from a few folks whom are truely "strangers" flying alone. Then it came to my revelation that actually some of us have more than one quad kite. Myself already having more than 10. (I have more than 10? How did that happen??)

Recently, with the leadership and promotion of "playing together" by Handi, the crowd seem to have gathered quite spontaneously and two weekends back, there was 9 of us flying together... I made a call to Lee Cher and soon she joined us, with the camera..



It was interesting that in such a mega-fly, characters are revealed and we see each other with better light. There was TOLERANCE... waiting patiently as the one in-front flies slower than the rest (like me). There was MOTIVATORS... edging on those with lesser experience but nevertheless was 'edged' to join in the fun. There was LEADERSHIP... taking the lead position was Handi who called the formations. There was confusion... (yes I am guilty but it was not just me..) whom was not fully aware what each formation call was (Where's the manual??).. Most importantly, there was COMRADESHIP... people looking out for people, friends playing together.



It was not about who could fly well and who couldn't.. It was also not about who has a better kite and who doesn't.. It was about the time we spent together, coming together to do something that we couldn't do alone; doing a Mega-Fly.
