15th Hot Air Balloon Championship

My family was at the 15th Hot Air Balloon Championship which was held not far from our house, which is only about 2 km away. This championship was organized by the FAI (Fédération Aéronautique Internationale) and CIA (Commission Internationale d'Aérostation). Held annually in Magdeburg at the Elbauenpark. As many as 30 nations and about 800 air-sportsmen took part in this championship. The highlight was the balloon glow at night and performances by Boney M and various German artists. What a nostalgic listening to Boney M singing Sunny, Rasputin, Holiday, Daddy Cool and not forgetting, By the River of Babylon. I'm sure you guys still remember this disco-dance repertoires!!! OK, enjoy these pictures below.

This is my little daughter - Farah - who's turning 4 this October 07.
This is dedicated to all men reading this...


and this is for their children...

Fatin...

You should enrol Farah to Boris Becker Tennis Academy when she turns 4, let her learn some good tennis lesson, so that when she comes back to Msia, she can kick Seok Har's butt.

(Mak dia 4 taun kena kerah tgh court... mencungap2 beb.... lain kali datang awal sket ke court, ek? kalau tak lain keliling court smpi muntahh... hahaha)

Upiq,

I want to send Farah to tennis academy, but she prefers football... We were fighting over tv remote control last night cos she wanted to watch EuroCup Qualifying Round between Germany and England. Germany won 2:1... She's satisfied with the result! Tell me should it be tennis or football???
