picnic under e fireworks


Had tuition on a national day holiday morning. How sad. Kids these days are really poor thing. Good thing my p4 kid is rather entertaining so time actually flies by. She loves telling me her things in school and she can blabber nonstop aboout all the different books and storylines that mr mystery & mr midnight write. (Not my era kind of thing though). Tried to ask if she knew boxcar children, she gave me a puzzled look. (oh no! generation gap! =O )

Went to met bf at his place after that bcos we had no destination in mind. Yup, we are always plan-less like that. His mum was like more enthu than us in planning places to go. I bet his mum would make a better bf than he does. Hah. She kept throwing places we could go and offered to let us take e car and all. How nice.

Out of time pressure and unwillingness to bum ard at home anymore, he finally compromised with my idea, e one that he always had qualms about. Ha! PICNIC!!

So we did some simple grocery shopping at his ntuc and started preparing. His mum was so eager and got us a picnic bag, picnic mat, and very meticulously threw in a pack of wet tissue which was super handy. Initially i thght it was my bf. But, no! Tsk tsk.

Took a LONG time to get parking lots. The only downside of driving i guess. Reached barrage and it was so OVERWHELMED with SWARMS of ppl. Apparently there was live screening of ndp at e field with a big screen (not big like cinema but still bigger than tv kind of big). Sat down and starting munching our food. Should have brought more if we knew the barrage was so happening! haha!

Unfortunately we had a group of kids, like a gang of more than 10 people, shouting at EVERY SINGLE thing sitting near us. I swear my ear drums were dying. Too attention-seeking! They just had to sing bday song at least 3 times at the TOP OF THEIR VOICE just right beside us. They were shouting and jumping THROUGHOUT e whole fireworks. That was a total turn-off. 

Tried to chiong as soon as everything was over, but we could not fight e jam. In any way, we took like 30 min just to get out of barrage. Yup, that bad! I had no idea how long we took to get back home. Probably ages bcos i had a good nap throughout e journey. Hee. 

happy nat day! :)
