A lot of people when they come, they will walk up to the roof top.

For us, we walked from the reverse direction, from the Satay by the bay, we will see this green green slope.  And surprisingly not many people here.  So, we decided to fly our kite here and we setup our picnic here too.

So, he was a bit scare of loosing his kite.

So what we do is we tie the kite on to his waist.
