There were a lot of people queuing playing the Orb compare to the other outdoor games been offered during the fiesta. The company which provides this called GAC Adventure Consultant Sdn Bhd. They provide unique and unforgettable experience outdoor activity. On this fiesta, they brought the ORB and it was a hit with visitors. The price was RM10 per person per each Orb game. You may choose Water Orb, Orbing Ball or Bumper Ball. The most interesting was the Water Orb where you are place inside a ball fill up with air and then the orb ball are push to the water. It remind me of a hamster inside the hamster ball where u need to push yourself forward to enable the Orb moving.

The different type of Orb balls activity.

Beside the Orb ball, there were Segway ride which is some sort like a tricycle. The ride cost around RM10 per person. It looks interesting bike to use for evening ride around the neighborhood. Beside the Segway track, kids are allowed to try on the mini motorbike. It cost RM15 per child and it was a heat for kids. For the safety, some of the kids were given helmet and some shin n knee guard.

For the three days events, there were few events awaits the visitors who throngs to the fiesta for the young and old. For those who looking for extreme games, they may go to the Mountain Dew extreme park and while for the kids, they may enter few competition such as coloring contest and paper plane competition making.

Tasik Cruise is one of popular ride at Putrajaya

I went there twice which is on Saturday evening and Sunday morning. On Saturday evening, it supposed to be an outing with fellow friends which into photography as well but seem the weather is not with us. So some of them returned home as it seems the rain likely to stop.  So on the next day after sending my wife to work, I drove up to Putrajaya alone to catch the hot air balloon display.

As I was about to reach putrajaya, I saw few para-motor flying. So I parked my car beside the road and snap some of the photo. There were about 12 to 15 para motors flying above the fiesta ground.

After snapping few photos, I drove my car and parked near to the fiesta ground. During a big events such as this, you can see a lot of imaginary parking aka illegal parking been made. Sometime due to this inconsiderate behavior causes jam as people does not seem to follow the authority order.

There were a lot of people at the market place

 Seem like selling balls is a thing in the fiesta. Saw a lot people bought few of the balls.

As expected on the last day of the fiesta, it was packed with people. The day was extremely hot and windy. The first site I approach was the hot air balloons and only managed to catch few photo before the balloon was rest for the whole afternoon. I didn’t managed to capture Doraemon and Darth Vader hot air balloon as it only schedule in the evening show.

Putrajaya 1st Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2009

Last month on 19th - 22nd March 2009, it was the first time Malaysia organized it’s 1st Putrajaya  International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2009. And I have the chance to glimpse of this magnificent and unique hot air balloon design with my own eyes. I miss the chance to ride on the hot air balloon as the time i reach there in the afternoon, the session to ride on the hot air balloon was close to the public. They only arrange the session ride on the hot air balloon in the morning. But never mind, I hope next year i can ride on one. Putrajaya is such a big place and you easily get lost there. Even those working in Putrajaya also can get lost. That day, I’d lost my way to the place where the Hot Air Balloon Festival was held. But at the end, i follow a group of cars and i manage to get to the festival area. Although the weather is hot, a lot of people still waiting by the gated area of the launching area for the balloons. I snap few pictures of the events and it’s an event that worth attends to.
