"Floating" Balloons

If you would ask me to name a few things that will put a smile to my face...it would be those helium-filled-floating-in-the-air-balloons!

You would say i m very childish hor??? but i m very attracted to how it floats n bobs along as you hold it in ur hand :)

But hor...actually got story explaining why i loveeee helium balloons...

Story A:
Long long time ago...when i was a little girl...my mom brought us to the stadium to watch some sort of performance which i have totally no idea what it was now...

And there were ppl selling these helium balloons and mom bought one for me...i think bfore that ive always pestered her for one but that was the FIRST time she actually bought one for me ...hehehe

So of cos i was a very very happy girl...and went into the stadium and took a seat with the balloon happily floating up above me ...

But halfway thru ... i somehow loosened my grip and as i looked up...OMG!!! my pretty balloon has floated up up and away :((((

Mom promised to buy another one for me but she never did (i dont know why la)


Story B:
Believe it or not ... that was the first and last time i ever had a helium ballloon!!! The next story happened many many yrs later when i was still in college.

We went to a charity food fair and again there were ppl selling helium balloons! I was with a dear friend...and i think ive ever told her how much i love helium balloons (bcos i was SERIOUSLY deprived of those balloons in my childhood!!!!)

So she said why dont she get one for me...but i rejected her offer with the excuse ....DONT WANT LAR...SO SHY WANTO BRING A BALLOON AND WALK AROUND THE FAIR

So we both walked away from the man selling balloons and went our separate ways to search for food...after a while...we met up again and lo and behold she was holding a red floating balloon in her hand!

She told me she bought it for herself...

When it was time to go...and we went to our car...and she gave the balloon to me.Of cos i was very surprised...cos i thought she bought the balloon for herself mah...

but she said she was only helping me to hold it while we were walking around the fair cos i felt shy mar...she actually bought it for me!!!

awwwwwwwww so sweet of her...sob sob.. and i kept the balloon floating in my room until all air went out and it was just a red piece of rubber

hehehehe....so we were at the Kuching Fest just now and saw a lot of ppl holding those legendary amazing balloons again!!!

and this time...i had the chance to bring one home again!!!! thanks to mr bf! (only now did he realised i have an everlasting crush on those floating balloons???)

Chose a big pink smiley faced balloon with a red doggie on top!

You may scoff and laugh at me for being so easily pleased...but u dont know how much these balloons mean to me!! (for whatever weird reasons)

I am a happy happy girl 2nite ^_^!!!

the good old days.. weird huh helium balloons always look more "superior" then our bad-breath-blown balloon.

I so luuuuuuurve helium balloons too, since I was a little girl! I used to bug my mom to buy me one whenever I see them floating in pasar malams. and even better when I get one of those aluminium ones where they last for a few days longer... *sigh* *floats away on a balloon*

I am sure we share the same mother... just that I cannot recall how she would go to a stadium in Kuching... moreover, bought you a balloon? Haha..

But seriously, Kuching nearly two decades ago have only those pathetic football matches 'happening' there. Other than that, it's just a place stupid schools in Kuching forced their students to go for the annual sports day.

Therefore, what were you doing at the stadium?
