Fun day!!

Botanical Gardens

Recently, Pris is crazy about walking. So, this time, we were pulled in to join in her obsession... just joking.. dun water bap me cos of this.. haha..

She suggested one day that it'll be a good idea that we go walk walk and have a picnic. We finally decided on Botanical Gardens cos of the excellent greenery and atmosphere.

Our meeting point was at Tanglin mall. Altogether, we have Pris, Ink, TY, Merv, Jerilee and me. We went to the supermarket to get some food for our picnic. There were so many choices, and we took our time to pick and choose what's nice and suitable. After getting paying for the food, we walk towards our destination.

As we were walking, the sky became dangerously cloudy and dark. Then a few drops of water fell on us. We stopped and gather in a circle to pray for clear skies. Well.. we didn't see the sky suddenly become clear all of a sudden (that'll be cool man.. hehe), in fact, it started to pour heavily. We had to run to the nearest shelter which was a bus stop.

While waiting, we chit chatted and Merv enjoyed playing with his camera. We saw this pram with anti-rain shelter, look so cool!! (Ink, get this for your child for all the outdoor activities that you'll have.. hehe). Not too long after, the rain miraculously stopped!! Thank God!! (It was really raining very heavily)

Finally we're able to proceed to the Gardens. We walk around and took a number of pictures. There were many beautiful places and scenery.

Drunks who can't walk straight

Finally, we saw the amphitheatre with a few groups of people resting there and decided to set up our picnic there. Somehow, nobody was around after a while. We were then only ones left at the stage!! (Come to think of it, if people were not there at first, we may not dare to go there to set up our picnic!!) Guess what happened next? It rained again!! wow!! We are soooo lucky to rest here, else will be like some of the people we saw, have to run to shelters. Somehow, even with all the rain, nobody came to where we were for shelter.. strange..


proceeding to our private stage

Anyways, we had a great time eating and chatting. It was also a time of taking pictures and playing games. Jerilee brought some pancakes and we all did some art on it. (See Ink's webpage)
(Andrew joined us at this time) Played the card game called High Society (forgot the name but Merv told me). Had so much fun trying to psycho people and confusing them.. so evil right? hehe...


everyone getting comfortable

After much fun, its time to go. We slowly made our way back. I even took a video of the walk. The rain started again and we had to find shelter. (All this time Pris occasionally took my camera to take pictures.. very artistic ones..) Pris took this opportunity to take some nice pictures of the surroundings. When the rain got lighter, we continued our walk back and split up.


see who can fit into the bin!!

Family Dinner

I happen to have an appointment with my family to have a family dinner that night, so the next stop is to meet up with my family. However, I went home first to meet up with my dad and bro and his gf. We then proceed to the Bukit Timah hawker centre. On the way there, my mom and sis boarded the same bus!! (this was not arranged) Its been a long time since our whole family are together in an outing like this!

The hawker centre was very crowded (shows how popular this place is). Once seats are found, we decided to order food that everyone can share and split up to do so. Dun know is it a good idea or not, but we ended up with tons of food!! It was fun taking pictures and eating and sharing the food! I like this kinda feeling! This is also the last major meal before my bro will fly to Australia for his course, so we treasure every moment with his presence. There was so much food that I think all of us had a tummy after that.. hehe..


see the variety of food we had!!


happy and satisfied faces


Here's some of the artistic photos that Pris took.. hee
