SATURDAY IN THE PARK

now here's a short one, with pictures from an event i hosted saturday afternoon.

after a press conference to launch the youth community space behind orchard cineleisure, minister of MCYS vivian balakrishnan was supposed to try out the flying fox at Urban Infest just across the road from the youth park.

and so he gets suited up...

stop the minister

STOPS.

that's right. the stupid thing stops.

apparently, the wires weren't angulated enough.

and so, the fella sits there and starts waving at everyone peering at him from below...(and the press are having a field day)

about a minute later, two guys grabbed the rope attached to the minister's harness and pulled him down.

LAND.
