Picnic @ Marina Barrage,


19th April: Picnic with poly clique.

The reason why we had this picnic was bcos I owe Twinny one picnic since last May during our internship. Hahah, yes! It's that long bcos I was always busy, according to her. So I suggested a picnic within our clique on one of my off-days. And yes, that day finally arrived! 

It was very sunny and stuffy (with little wind) when we exited the station. We couldn't find the bus-stop for the bus to Marina Barrage. They changed the route without placing a notice board or smth at the Exit B (as directed from the website). So we walked one big round to the bus stop via the tunnel to the (old) bus stop that I rmbred in my mind. But no, the new bus stop to Marina Barrage was located outside MBFC. Finally boarded the bus towards Marina Barrage after a good 30mins exploring the routes -_-

It was rlly damn hot and sunny when we reached there. Good thing I brought my sunscreen (and shades for myself) along to save two of the girls and I. 



One of the things that cannot be missed during a picnic none other than food! My boyfriend actually said "wine" as the answer. Reminds me of our mini picnic last May when we had a bottle of red wine to accompany us. 

So, SH and Twinny prepared food, XH and QY prepared fruits and drinks while me, I prepared the easiest; I bought snacks (due to time constraints and I knw nuts about cooking) which in the end I had to bring home again because everyone was full and tired to eat after some time. HAHAH! 

SH's pan-fried hotdogs (and one of my favourites)

SH's fried potatoes




Twinny's eat-clean

My special sandwich by Twinny

We decided to fly a kite since Twinny brought her kite along. But problem was, there was no string so she and SH went down to buy. They took soooo long that QY and I started camwhoring and XH helped us from another angle.






Our reactions were the same when Twinny finally took her kite out from the cover. It has to be fixed, like a puzzle kind of things. People who knw me well will know that I'm super bad at figuring things (except for real puzzles) so I just stood there and be their photographer.





See, you get what I mean now? That was also my first time seeing a literally 3D kite so far in my 22years of life. For a few times, we thought we successfully fixed the kite but apparently we were wrong. The group of adults beside our place were looking at us trying hard to fix the puzzle-kite until one of them came forward to help us. I think he was so speechless seeing these few silly kids trying to fix a kite yet still kept failing. 


All in all, we took almost 45mins to fix one kite. #Achievementunlocked. It was able to fly in the mid-air... For awhile.  



Then it dropped...

Somehow I love going to Marina Barrage. Reason being, there will definitely have people bringing their dogs there for a walk! Saw this mixed breed (Labrador Retriever, according to the owner) and it's uber cute! I think it looks more like English Cocker Spaniel though. No photo of me because it's kinda unglam. So here's my Twinny instead. 


So fluffy I'm gna die


Don't you think the sky is pretty? 

This is actually my camera effect. LOL

The night sky. 

Left Marina Barrage at 8PM and we were hesitating where to go. But due to work the next day, I decided to head home straight after I reached the station. That was my 3rd picnic with different groups of friends. Humans before I go off. 



Back to work!
