Maybe there will be kite selling by a 50 yrs+ man with his son (driving a hydundai SUV). He is a regular @ anchorvale every weekends...
He has several single lines kites of different shape....ranging from $20 - $45

And no:nono:: I am not that old yet...

went yesterday.. admission is free... no need tickets unless you want the other things mentioned..

Can park at the carpark of the HDB flats beside Oasis LRT.. dont know if Sunday is free parking or not but remember to put coupons if its not free parking.. Saw the parking-attendant as I was going back..

Otherwise, can just park along the road along the LRT track at your own risk... Everybody else does that anyway... :sweat:

Got some stalls in the tentage there... 1 of them selling kites.. range from $3 to $15 (any maybe got more expensive ones.. not sure).. =) I bought a $15 one.. comes with free strings..
