WF saw on the papers that there was a going to be a paper plane flying show by the paper plane man, John Collins and decided we should go there for a Saturday outing.
As usual, Singapore is trying to break the Guinness Records. This time it is about flying the most number of paper planes. And we took part in this competition. First we learnt how to make the paper plane (not just anyhow and any kind of paper planes), then we try to fly it within the zones. Needless to say, we weren't "high flyers".
Then came the show. Where this man, John Collins, showed us many different kinds of paper planes and how each of them had their own characteristics. Like steady decent, gliding power and even a boomerang type of plane, where the plane will fly back to you (see slide show).
The highlight of the outing was actually participating in the various science exhibits in Mindfest 2009 which was also in the same hall. Done up by students from various schools and polytechnics, we had fun playing and making our own science work.
There was also this human board game that the ITE students organized at the outdoor area. Though there was a school competition going on, we still managed to buy a 50cent candy floss for the kids (a reward for their good behaviour).
