after picking up molo, we headed to garbo to find a gift for janice (yes, it's been that long since i last started this post). after playing with practically every single toy possible over at national geographic and toyworld, we finally decided to actually look for something. having the polaroid and album gift blow over (apparantly the importers can't get them in anymore), it once again, became really hard to find janice something (it's like this every year). after hitting up every shop possible, the little one suggested we get her a guess bag from the city david jones as janice seemed to really like it when they were out once. having a look at one which looked similar over at the garbo dj, we decided that it would be a more awesome gift if we also filled it with lollies from the confectionary factory; that was my idea.
with that over and done with, the four of us, with some kind of obsession for kites at this point (probably because we saw them over at toyworld) decided to go find some. buying 2 dora and 2 spiderman kites, we formed team dora (which consisted of molo and i) and team spiderman (which consisted of them). we bought a mini guitar as well, which broke in the car when molo and i tried to tune the thing; it's still awesome by the way, it's wrapped in sticky tap and sits next to the fish tank.
bindi smashed it over to indro ada st for us to buy some protein for bondy as it was his b'day as well (man, septembers an expensive month ay). unfortunately for us, it was closed (who blloooody closes on sundays these days!) so we smashed it back home, excited to fly our new kites.
so lets just recap. up until this point, which was about 4 in the afternoon, instead of finding something for janice and bondy, we ended up running around for 6 hours doing absolutely nothing productive. man, how time can just fly like that....
ohh well. so we got home and in the instance the car turned off and the garage door closed, everyone had dispersed around the paddock with their corresponding kites. while phuccie and molo had no trouble getting their kites up high, it was a completely different story for bindi where her kite flapped relentlessly just above the mutated paddock grass. slow and steady though, all our kites began to rise and within no time, there was at one point where all 4 of our kites were in the air. i'm not quite sure what caused it, whether it be the sound we made where screams, yells and laughter were expressed when kites started to dip, or tangle with others, or be it the view of the cool, calm, flight of kites in the air, people from all directions could be seen observing. people from houses in front of us came out to watch, as well as people in cars, which stopped and slowed down adjacent to the paddock.
we called it battling, where we crossed our kites to try and destroy the opposing team. having eliminated phuccie by skillfully pulling his kite low enough to make use of the air threshold, it dipped hard and landed, twisted and wrapped around our neighbours tree. from the window where i sit to write this, i can peer out and still see its wings, flapping. having janice and martin pop around, we dodged planes with our one and only kite, which was mind you, 4 times longer than our normal ones (we connected 4 of our kite strings together). i decided to not get electrocuted by the big dark storm clouds which slowly hovered over us and legged it inside; everyone followed.
