All in all, it was ok. I got to take a lot of pictures (amongst the pros strapping 2 Canon 1Ds each.. scary), met with old friends and take Nidal out for a much needed walk.
Nidal, like Nadal (Eita's remark ya..) is always late to appreciate. We reached there at 4+pm but it was still to hot. So we waited it out amongst the goverment building. I let Nidal walk around, chase birds and drink before we head on to the fiesta site.
The first thing Nidal saw was the promo balloons. Soon he saw the kites, (which he was not really interested in). The thing that caught his attention was a boy riding a bicycle (the same kind that Atuk and Wan just bought him a day before) and he was screaming!!! When the hot air balloons starts lifting off, he wasn't bothered (except for the orange balloon and another balloon that flew really low).
Once all the balloons lifted off, we set our way back to the car, and thats when he starts appreciating the balloons, waving at em and asking us to look at them too. Thats when Eita said "Macam Nadal.. lambat panas.. " hahaha. Nadal is our favourite tennis player.. and like always tends to start slow in his game against new unseeded players (and sometimes mid ranks too) which he usually wins as the match proceeds.
Nidal's name was not picked because of our love towards Nadal.. but because of its meaning. Nidal means 'a fighter'. I strongly believe that what you name your child plays a big part in his personality development. I want him to be strong and never give up easily. I want him to be a fighter when things are rough.
Anyhow, here are a few of the pictures taken. The rest you can view here.
