2nd Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2010: 18-21 March 2010

izzat ruslan — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 01:05:42 +0000

Salam and hello everyone. If you still don’t have any plan for next week’s weekend, ya next week, not this week. I mean not today. Let me suggest you to one of the events you should consider to go next week’s weekend. Here it is, as stated in the title, the 2nd Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2010 is back! Like last year, this year hot air balloon fiesta event will bring 19 hot air balloon participants from all over the globe such as France, New Zealand, Belgium, Netherlands and of course Malaysia too.

For details about the program’s itinerary, please proceed here for details. This event will run for 4 days, I’m not sure which day you should go. If you can come everyday from 18 to 21 March 2010, it would be really great, but anyway, if you ask me which day would be great to go, I will suggest you to go on Saturday (20 March 2010). If you look at itinerary, the schedule for each day is the same, maybe one or two might be different. However, on night of 20 March 2010, there is fireworks show which I think would be great for you if you want to photograph any pictures or you are fireworks’ fans.

Ok, since this event is called hot air balloon fiesta, of course some of you would like to take a ride on any of these hot air balloons, right? Speaking of that matter, you will have the opportunity to ride on it, but you must be ready to pay a few ringgit for the ticket and ready to wait in front of the ticket counter as early as 6.30am to get the ticket. That’s what you have to do if you want to take a ride during morning flight. For evening flight, I’m not sure. If you read my last year entry of this hot air balloon fiesta, you’ll know that the tickets were sold out as early as 7.00am and it were limited to 70 tickets per day only. If the organizer has increased the amount of the tickets for this year hot air balloon fiesta, it would be really great.

Anyway, you can have a look at 1st Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2009 photos that I have taken last time, hopefully it would attract you to come to this year hot air ballon fiesta. So, are you going?

Update: Firework Show at Karnival WOW! Putrajaya

izzat ruslan — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 04:11:51 +0000

Salam and hello everyone. This is just another quick update for Karnival WOW! Putrajaya that is going to start tomorrow at Tapak Pasar Tani, Presint 2, Putrajaya. According to myJazmanie, visitors will have firework show tomorrow at Putrajaya in conjunction with this carnival and if you want to shoot firework, this is the right time for you to practice your photography skills. Get ready with your gears, tripod, full charged battery etc. Hehe

I’m not sure where is the location for this firework show. It is unlikely it will be shot at PICC like MIFC last year because the location of the carnival is too far from PICC. I’ll update it later, maybe via my Twitter. So, follow me at Twitter for latest update. The firework show is expected to start after the concert, so it would be around 11pm onwards.

Some quote from myJazmanie regarding this update.

Assalamualaikum dan Salam Sejahtera YBhg. Tan Sri/Datuk/Tuan/Puan yang dihormati,
WOW!!! Sukacita dimaklumkan bahawa Putrajaya akan bermandi dengan limpahan bunga api sempena Karnival Wow! Putrajaya. Jangan lepaskan peluang untuk menyaksikan pertunjukan bunga api selepas Konsert Wow! Putrajaya pada 20 Februari 2010. Datanglah beramai-ramai dan pastikan anda mendapat tempat yang strategik dengan datang awal ke tapak Karnival.
Disamping itu, penyertaan bagi Mini Cycle Hunt dan Wayang Putrajaya masih dibuka kepada orang ramai. Hadiah menarik disediakan. Disertakan poster yang berkenaan untuk rujukan.
WOW!!! Rugi kalau tak datang……

So, if you don’t have anything in plan to do tomorrow, come to Putrajaya and have fun!

1st Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2009 – Photoshots Part 2

izzat ruslan — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 02:01:03 +0000

Salam and hello all. Continue from last entry. Here are some more pictures from the first Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2009. I won’t say much, enjoy the pictures then. Hope you don’t mind waiting since there are many photos inside.

The pilots of the para motors.

Some shots of the para motors. But, public didn’t get chance to get ride on it. hohoho.

Here are some random shots during the event. I wonder when I can afford this “white” lens. Owh, no.. I’m a Nikon fans. Hahaha.

Yeah, blow into it. Make it bigger. Hehehe.

The reason why I’m thinking that this kind of balloon didn’t suitable for children under 12. Check out the pictures.

Remember I told you last time in my previous entry that in the evening, I tried to shot this hot air balloon from another spot? But, unfortunately the hot air balloon didn’t come towards us. We had planned to get a few shots when the balloon cross the Seri Saujana Bridge, but unluckily the balloon didn’t come towards the bridge. Haiyah.. Anyway, I managed to get some few shots taken from Seri Saujana Bridge.

The hot air balloon in formation.

Whatever it is, there are still some balloon that are suitable for children under 12. Hahaha, I mean these kind of balloon. Haha.

Even Spongebob also want to be a balloon. Hehe.

Ok, that’s all from me for this first Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2009. I hope this event will be held again next year because this year, I didn’t get chance to ride on it. And I hope the organiser will add some more ticket per day because 70 tickets per day seem not enough compare to the people that come to the event. Anyway, if you want to share some of your shots, I’m glad to see it.

If you have any comments and feedback, don’t be hesitated to use the comment form below and word out your precious comments. Thanks.

Photos/Pictures of Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta : 19-22 March 2009

izzat ruslan — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 10:56:43 +0000

Salam and hello all. How your life? I hope you’re always in good condition. Straight to the point, this entry is dedicated to an event that will ends today (22 March 2009), Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon 2009. Some of you might already know about this event and for your information, this is the first time for this event been held in Malaysia. Anyway, those who are looking for photos or pictures for Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2009 from this blog, I hope you can wait for my next entry. I’ll post more photos from this event soon. So, stay tuned ya!

I went to this event yesterday, early in the morning. Not so early actually, it was about 7.30 am when I went out from my house with my housemate. Actually we had planned to get there as early as 7.30 am, but because we have overslept, we reached there about 8.00 am, with hope that we still can get the ticket to ride on the hot air balloon. But it was disappointed when we reached there, it was totally sold out and tickets for today (22 March 2009) are only for charity. We have heard that, 70 limited tickets for yesterday were sold out in 10 minutes! Which sound impossible for us to get the ticket because the ticket counter started selling the ticket at 7.00 am, which at that time we were still in dream mode.

Anyway, we managed to get few shots from the event and we were quite satisfied with the shots that we got yesterday. In the evening, we tried to get another few shots from another spot but little disappointed because the hot air balloon were not coming toward the spot we expect the hot air balloon to come! Wasted about 2 hours waiting the hot air balloon to come, we changed our spot one more time and get some few random shots around Putrajaya.

Anyway, that’s all for now. I’ll post more photos or pictures for Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2009 as soon as possible in my next entry. Since my final exam week start this Monday, so I’ve to concentrate on it first. Hope you don’t mind. Anyway, you can subscribe to my RSS so that you’ll be notified when I have posted the pictures for the event later.

Till next entry, bye!

p/s: Is there anyone of you go to this event? What do you think about this event?
