Celebrated mother's day thrice this year!! Once at home with my paternal granny and family, second time at Pasir Ris park with my maternal grandparents and third time with only the 5 of us for my mommy!! hehe, am gonna blog about the second and third time since I didn't take pictures during the first time.
So, 1 week before Mother's Day (2 May 2011), we went to Pasir Ris Park for family picnic again!! Teehee, my family's addicted to having picnics! We brought a truckload of things there too!! Picked up my aunt and my grandparents from my uncle's house and to Pair Ris park!
We would normally hold celebrations in their house at Pulau Ubin, but cause grandmother wasn't in the best of health, she had to stay over at my uncle's house. Glad that she got better and is recovering well for the picnic!! It was quite a relaxing day, with light drizzling and gloomy skies. It was rather cooling and nice day. To our surprise, the park was rather empty and quiet that day. We would have thought that it would be crowded on a weekend. We managed to find a pavilion and promptly settled our things down.
Once we settled down, we had crazy suggestions of setting up a barbecue pit for some grilled vegetables. LOL. We planned to get all the things from NTUC which was available at the E-hub. haha, of course we didn't go with the idea in the end, it was too sudden and everyone dreaded the thought of cleaning up.
However, we still went to NTUC @ E-hub to get some junk food, garbage bag and other miscellaneous stuff (eg. poker cards!!). hehe. Bought salted soft serve, coffee for papa and green apple frozen yoghurt apart from the stuff we bought from NTUC.
It was munch time after we were back from NTUC. Mommy prepared so much food!! OMG! we had- fried bee hoon, fruits and vegetable salad, Konnyaku jelly, tuna sandwiches made by yours truly, and tons of snacks from Marks & Spencer. yes, plus junk food and drinks from NTUC. Foods that make me happy plus family that makes me happy = ULTIMATE BLISS!! threw my diet plan away for that day and indulged in all the food!! YUMS!
Took strolls around the park but we didn't manage to rent any bikes. Brought books to read and played cards to pass time as well.
Left earlier after cake cutting at about 5pm to meet a secondary school friend for dinner @ Ajisen! Caught up with her so much and I was so glad that she hasn't changed. Homed after that!
Sigh, it would be an extremely tough term this semester. Action research is no easy task, glad to have my team mates in this together with me though. And also friends who will keep us going. Jia you! It will be TOUGH x 1000!!
