a video of an octopus kite - tentacles andall - fluttering majestically above the marina barrage on sunday, may 15 has gone viral onsocial media, racking up over 10 million views after it was posted on facebook. it took sixpeople to get the mammoth kite airborne, said maggie mok, the co-founder of a kite-flyingenthusiast group known as show kites singapore. members of the group helped to fly the octopuson sunday. while madam mok, 42, who started the groupwith her husband johnny yap three years ago, declined to reveal how big the kite was, thestraits times understands that it is about the length of five buses. it is believed tobe one of the largest kites in singapore, and was made by a kite-maker from china whospecialises in custom kites. such kites can

cost anywhere from hundreds of dollars toas much as $10,000, according to madam mok. "this is the fourth time we've flown the octopus,"madam mok said. "it's not that easy as it requires perfect weather and a large enoughspace to get it up into the air. keeping it afterwards is also a difficult task!" madammok, a housewife who has a 10-year-old son, first picked up kite-flying as a hobby withher husband about seven years ago, and eventually graduated to flying giant kites as they bothenjoyed the thrill and challenge of flying one. the couple currently own several giant kites,including a 10m-tall merlion and a 20m-tall red-coloured bear with the words "i love sg50"scrawled across its chest. both have been
