the balloon release has nthg to do with the pinkdot organisers ok…its the ppl they wanna do it themselves….
i was there i think they do so to signify the freedom to love.i see couples writing stuff on da balloon then release,and some tied 2 balloons 2gether like forever tt kinda thing….

thks for ur concern for da environment but i think a lil for the right occasion is ok?not the 1000 u gave as example…that one so many will die leh…

my 2 cents worth…

Andrew: Good to hear that the volunteers went around asking people not to release the balloon. For a moment I thought it was part of the plan.

I reach there pretty late on Saturday. By the time I was there, the pink dot already disperse already. Hee hee. Paiseh. Kinda last minute thing for me.
