NDP Picnic cum Gathering

Its Singapore's 41st Bday today and is a public holiday, which means Daddy & Mummy are both not working. I just love it when both of them are home with me. After waking up at 10plus and washing up, we headed to Hougang Mall ~ Hans for our brunch. Then we went to Bengawan Solo to get some cakes & pastries for this afternoon picnic. Yes, its picnic time again......to watch fireworks.

After we got home, Daddy & Mummy have been trying to make me nap but I simply refused to close my eyes. I toss and turn on their bed and before I know it, its already 3.30pm and Mummy says, we got to get ready to go out liao. So bo-pian, no nap this afternoon.....For today's picnic, we brought Yiyi, Ah Gong and Erna jiejie along with us too.

We managed to reach the picnic place at 4.40pm and by then, there was already a huge crowd (almost 3/4 more than on the NDP Preview Day) but luckily, Daddy managed to find a lot to park his car. We walked back to the same spot as the NDP preview day and lay down our stuff while we waited for the rest of my friends to come.

My friends who came for the picnic.....Cindy, Gabriel, Jean and Ruiying

Well, becos I didnt hve my afternoon nap, so I was extremely grouchy. Luckily, Daddy didnt park his car too far, so he brought me back into the car, ON the aircon and I managed to catch about 35mins of power nap. Better than nothing. At 6plus, I went back to join the group and had some of the picnic food. At about 7plus, the helicopter carrying our National Flag finally flew past. Everyone at the park cheered.

At 7.45pm, the first fireworks flew up into the sky. It was really beautiful and Mummy managed to capture some of the great shots. But from the pic below, it looks more like colourful lightning hor.

And at 8.15pm, the finale fireworks flew up into the sky and marked the ending of the show as well as the picnic..

Before we leave the place, we managed to take a group pix (less Ruiying as they have left earlier) as well as my family pix. Looking forward to the next picnic.
