Picnic!

Summer's time for endless picnics! Just not here in Singapore. The weather is simply not conducive.

Today was a relatively cooler day and by that, I mean it was slightly cloudier. We packed the picnic basket (imaginary one) and headed to Botanical Gardens for a girls pow wow. The mrt brought us to the side of the gardens that was just outside the Bukit Timah Campus. So nostalgic! I remember tramping across the gardens from school to Orchard Road with Bing after lessons last time.

After moving our mat (clever YW who bought a shower curtain) several times, we found our 'perfect' spot i.e. a spot with some shade and polished off the goodies we pooled together, the marshmallow chocolate muffins YW baked before meeting us. That girl is seriously the most motivated and domestically handy friend I have! My contribution was 2 packs of spicy chips and a 1.5l bottle of water. Would love to pack a Da Paolo style picnic lunch but my energy level is bordering zilch in the morning.

Highlight of the day? Meeting the enormous labradoodle (Labrador + poodle) who stole everyone's heart as he frisked down the Palm Valley. He stole the limelight and totally deserved it! I couldn't resist going up to his owner to ask for a pic.
