Picnic @ Pasir Ris Park
I love picnics. I think I got it from living in Perth for 3 years, where it's near to the Swan River (not lake), and a huge green pasture called the Esplanade. It's big enough to house a kite festival.
Usually during fall or spring season, we'll frequent the area for picnics or barbeque (actually it's more like hotplate and it's free) at this park. It's nice to sit under clear blue sky with cool breeze, and nice grass to sit on.
Maybe it's about re-living the feeling of the good old days that I've brought this interest back with me to Singapore. When I first got Matrix, I bought 2 picnic umbrella from IKEA sale, and I've got picnic mats too.
So my colleagues and I planned for a picnic a couple of weeks ago and it actually came to pass yesterday! We each contribute different kinds of food to share. As for me, I made vegetarian stir-fry Korean vermicelli. I wanted to put minced pork but one of my colleague's a vegetarian. Yeah, it was home-cooked alright, not bought from food stall hor. I'm glad all of them liked it. I thought it was pretty good, too. :P
We had a lot of other food - nasi lemak, vegetarian bee hoon, sushi, otah, oranges, bananas, donuts. See...
Closer view of the sumptuous spread :P
Waaaa...all of us were so full by the time we finish up the food. We also played Taboo, and it was really fun, even though we only played a few rounds.
Really thank God that the weather was really cooling. There was a small patch of dark clouds above our area, but it dispersed after a while and didn't rain at all during the time we were there. It was a late afternoon picnic so we only stayed for a few hours and left around 7.30pm.
I had a good time, and I believe the rest enjoyed it, too. And we might just do this again. Hopefully Catherine and more others could join in, too. On our way back in my car, it was funny that we said we would do a debrief and feedback on how to improve our next picnic session...and I offered to do up a feedback form. We've definitely internalized some of our 'work ethics'. Lol...
