13 Oct 2007

It was a sunny and hot morning......
Sun was shining brightly on the sky and birds were chirping

I woke up at 7am to start preparing sandwiches for my pinic outing at Botanic Garden

KT, me, 2nd sis, BIL, elder and younger niece....agreed to meet at Botanic Garden for pinic...well it was my younger niece first pinic outing....

I thought it will be a fun pinic as my niece is michievious and cheeky....

I was looking for this much awaited outing...as me and kt ...was awaiting to see what fun act my niece will perform.....

Arrive at 9.40am at Botanic Garden....

Due to some miscommunication with KT, I was standing at at the main entrance carrying big and small bag waiting for KT....

I waited for 20mins from 9.10am to 9.30am...before I decided to walk towards Palm Valley(KT's hp is with me)

At 9.40am I saw KT at the Palm valley..apparently, he had waited for 20mins for me here...
But I wonder..since he didn't see me, couldn't he have just borrowed a handphone from someone and try to reach me?


What if I have waited at the main entrance still?....Gosh.....

Is the starting of a bad day.....

Then KT and my sis....lay out the pinic mat on the slope.....it was still sunny then
Barely 10 mins after we layout the mat, we sat down and eat the sandwiches that I prepared.....
halfway though eating, the sky suddenly turn dark......and within few mintues, it started pouring.....

We were so frantically trying to pack up.....to rush towards the Symphony stage for shelter....

Shucks...should have taken some photos..of the threatening sky and heavy downpour....

Well, as I was pushing my niece in her stroller, we were the last few to reach there....

KT was very helpful....he helps to carry many things..knowing my sis cannot carry heavy stuff..due to some back problem...

It was about 10am when we finally settled down at the Symphony stage.....
It didn't help matter...when SCGS was having some outing there..They practically occupied 1/2 of the space in the Symphony stage....

We ate our chips and continue with the sandwiches..hoping the sky will clear soon....

Who knows..the rain kept getting heavier and heavier.....

It didn't help matter when We have only one small umbrella(belongs to my sis)...

Finally at 11am...we decided to get out of Botanic Garden and proceed to Macdonald at King Albert Park....

The "Wei Da" KT.....took my sis umbrella....walk to his car(15mins)...and walk back(15mins) to Symphony stage....carrying 3 large umbrella with him.....

It was really a good walk for him...hehe..knowing..that he is fat like a "Humpty Dumpty" now....

We pack up and is on the way to the carpark...

BIL carry my elder niece..and took some bags....
KT push the stroller..and a few bags(very heavy)
My sis carry a umbrella to shield me...and a small bag of hers.....
I carried my younger niece(around 8kg)...and walk for around 20mins to the carpark...

My niece was very happy and exicted...she was struggling along the way and smilling nonstop...

I can see she is enjoying the rain....but gosh....her struggle make it more difficult for me to carry her..as she keeps slipping down....

Well..I was anaemic recently..and haven't been exercising for awhile...so it is a test for me to carry her that long.....

Finally at about 11.30am...we reached King Albert Park.....the rain has stopped..and the sun has come out....

KT was drenched during the time he was trying to help my sis close the stroller to put in the car...

You see...my sis Doesn't know how to close the stroller....*faint*

Finally settled down at Mcdonalds......
Everyone was tired and drained out..practically 0% of energy level...

I and Kt wasn't too hungry...so I shared with him a packet of fries..and he bought a hot coffee for himself....

sister was feeding my younger niece to her porride.....
BIL was feeding my elder niece to chicken mcnugget meal.....
After KT is done with his fries, he carried my younger niece...
It was the first time that she didn't cried whilst being carried by KT.....

Furthermore...she was so happy and enjoyed herself.....playing with KT....
She almost couldn't stop laughing.......
she is really so cute..as I have never seen her laugh uncontrollably this way before....
Luv her to bitz......

Well...left about 1230pm from King Albert mcdonald....as I was too tired(insomia for past 2 nights)

Sorry folks ...no pics to share...as my sis doesn't like me to post my niece pictures on line....
