1st Putrajaya International Dragon Boat Festival
This morning I woke up eagerly because I have planned to bring my latest UWA lens for a round of testing. I should have gone yesterday evening because the weather today really sucks….:(
Anyway, this is my first time witnessing a dragon boat competition and in my very own opinion, it could be better with more international participants.
This competition (it’s still ongoing at the time of writing) is held at the ultra new recreation park located at Precinct 6 just beside the newly launched Pullman Putrajaya Hotel.
We reached there just in time before the first event of the day starts. Probably because it was still early, the participants simply outnumbered visitors. We did not waste time snapping around although the sky was hazy.

Tokina announces its arrival to the world!
OMG! Suddenly I found myself at Burj al-Arab hotel. Upon closer inspection, it’s just a viewing platform. Cheh!! Plagiarism to the max…
So we walked around aimlessly hunting for pretty girls dragon boats.
The facilities here are superb but don’t worry, it will degrade very soon due to the “third world maintenance” policy adopted by us. Don’t believe? Come again in few years time.
Spotted Mr. Bazooka taking aim at participants…
That’s another view of the superb facility here…
Anyway, we managed to witness few races before we called it a day… due to uninteresting skies..
That’s the beach by the lake and behind is the Pullman Putrajaya hotel. It looks deserted though. Will drop by again to check out the hotel.
