Come Fly the Redbull Sky | November 3rd 2007
I spent yesterday afternoon with Juju and Susu and I had one of the best times of my life! Of course the Twirlies were incomplete because Nani was missing from action (you should’ve flown in from Scotland :p) So we attended the First Annual Redbull Flugtag and it was fantastic! The sun was shining, the wind was blowing, the birds were chirping, no wait, the birds weren’t chirping, actually, I’m not sure I saw any birds in the first place! Anyway, Susu and I accidentally bumped into each other yesterday at Marina, well she’s the one who noticed me and I was a heap of clumsiness and cluelessness (is that even a word?!), but hey, what’s new about that?
The Flugtag, which happens to mean ‘flying day’ or ‘flight day’ in German (yes, yes, I’m flexing my “I’m learning German” muscles), started at 2pm instead of 1:30, we spent the first half hour looking for Juju and after treading on people sitting on the beach, getting our clothes soaked and waving my arms like a mad woman, we finally found Juju!!! It was the arm-waving that caught her attention :)
Pictures from the day:
Bringing a plane thingie back to shore
Pretty kites
The Pirates going overboard - hahha, “the pirates going overboard”, get it?
Susu’s sandals post-beach attack
“KSSHHH!!”
Juju’s sister’s show post-beach attack
Susu’s feet and mine next to the pollution Redbull has caused, tsk tsk.
Our feet: Susu, Me, Juju
The ladybird!!! MY FAVOURITE PLANE THINGIE! It was absolutely adorable!
So highlights from the day:
- They played ‘Love Today’ by Mika - and I jumped around like a crazed loon! I was so happy, MIKA IN PUBLIC IN FULL BLAST VOLUME!!!!
- I stepped on a guy sitting peacefully on the sand, the poor unfortunate soul.
- I had ice cream :D
- Juju’s sister called me crazy - which SO isn’t right because only a handful of people can get away with calling me that, grr.
- I enjoyed spending time with my girls :) Oh yeah, and my brother :p
YOU’VE GOT TO CHECK OUT SUSU’S POST BECAUSE SHE DESCRIBED OUR CRAZY SHINANNEGANS BETTER THAN I DID!
Example:
*Sou’s trying to take pics of the Redbull platform while Swair’s handing something to Juju in front of the camera:
Sou: “Can u get out of the way, there’re women bits in my face!�
Go on, go read her post, you know you want to ;)
Till next time world.
Ta ta for now.
