Up, Up & Away!!!

*Disclaimer: I can't seem to upload the video of Elaine trying to smoke her way out of the balloon ride so I can't post it up here.

Up, Up & Away!!!


Step right up, yes...step right up folks!! What you see is what you get and more!! DHL presents..... their Helium balloon ride!



If you're thinking of proposing to your loved ones, if you want to celebrate friends' birthdays in mid-air, if you want to help your friends overcome their fear of heights or do the total opposite and tease their phobias a lil bit, yes, just a wee bit mind you...just STEP RIGHT UP!!!


Any brave hearts or volunteers to go up, up and away in the helium balloon?

Ahh.... look what the tide brought in.... We have a couple - Weeleong Yixi here. One of their last few outings as singles!! Heheh.


Wooo... more bravehearts! Accompanying the birthday gal in green onboard her maiden balloon flight. Heheh.


The girls strike a pose too before their flight.
That's our flight coming down now...


The birthday gal... all smiles and ready (?) to hop on the ride!

Up in the air we have Irving, Elaine, Gab, Weeleong & Yixi!





Brilliant view of the night scene in Singapore while up there. Pic a little blurry cos it's shaky up there!!




National Library at night.

This is the meter that Irving spotted in the balloon and we took a pic of it. Interesting....

The men happily smiling when they touch down from the balloon ride.

After all that flying, our stomachs protested by growling and we settled for dining at Billy Bombers in Bugis Junction. I like this pic of Elaine! I think she looks very cute here! Really!


And to end the night after affirming our dear UL, the girls take a pic together in sepia mode since the background looks rather nostalgic. Happy Belated Birthday, Elaine! Hope you enjoy yourself!!

Hehe... finally, Elaine's birthday post is up (one month later?). :P

This is one of the best birthday surprises ever! I think many of us conquered our fear of heights that day! As for those strange numbers, I have no idea what they mean. As long as I don't hear klaxons blaring and that screen doesn't flash red, I suppose it's fine. :D
