A Moment To Cherish...

It is now 1:07 a.m.

My eyes are feeling sleepy, but my stomach is not allowing me to sleep because it is still full with ALL the FOOD that I have had during the pinic.

Yes, once in a blue moon...we finally had our first family pinic!!!!!! And we would do it again, perhaps in another 6 months times...hahaha...*quoted by bro.

Well, sometimes not everything can be planned in advance, for example today, we didn't really go and plan it one month in advance or what...it just happens...*poof*...wahlah...we have had our first pinic....hehhee

My brother had bought a pair of roller blade in order to divert his attention away from his recent breakups. So, during last Sunday, he asked the Goons siblings about going roller blading in East Coast on Saturday. When they asked me if I wanted to join in, I didn't know why I would say yes because I would rather stay at home during Saturdays and Sundays if possible because I like to STAY at home...haha...but I said YES! That's something fresh....hmmm...

Then, after checking the calendar, it was really a surprise to realise that we really don't have anything on during today (it is really once in a blue moon)...yes, our calendar schedule for today is actually BLANK!!!!!

So, of course, I have to ask mother if she wanted to join and kept her informed that we have NOTHING ON during today. And she agreed and it was her who suggested a pinic...hehee...since she would be the one preparing all the food.

Okay, that's how it began...from a simple roller blading outing to one families pinic (n/a: two families involved, the Lees and the Goons) which is considered one of the big events in our family in years. Phew!

So, what have I done during today....let's see:

8:15 a.m. ~ 10.35 a.m. : In office...

10:35 a.m. : The sky was getting darker and darker....very worried...

10:45 a.m. : It started to rain very very heavily....busy with msn-ing and sms-ing about alternate plans only to realise that we don't have ANY PLAN B! WAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! So, we decided to leave the decision to the weather as in to cancel or not to cancel.

11:23 a.m. : THE RAIN STOPPED! So, the original outing was executed as per normal....

12:35 p.m. : Met up with Mrs Goon at the Golden Bamboo outside my office to purchase drinks and tibits.

1:30 p.m. : Reached my house and waited for the rest to gather before going.

2:30 p.m. : We decided to walk instead of changing bus, so we 'trekked' for about 25 minutes to the nearest bus stop just to save the 63 cents! Haha...well, it is good to walk more since people around me keep reminding me that what I lack most now is EXERCISE!!

3:30 p.m.: Reached East Coast Park and met up with Mr. Goon at the MacDonald's and took some photographs outside MacDonald since my brother had recently bought a very good digital camera (with tripod some more...professional eh?)

3:45 p.m. : Finally found an okay location to settle down.


At this point, nobody wanted to cycle...hahaha...so my poor brother had to roller blade alone...which was not his original idea...hahaha...but never mind he was still be able to manage that kind of disappointment.

In fact, my original plan was to lay down on the mat and relax with my mother and Mrs. Goon while reading the books (1 Da Vinci Code and 3 manga 'Skip beats' Vol 1-3) during the entire pinic because I have not been feeling well for the past few days...BUT...

4:30 p.m. : After testing out the water situation, the three of us had decided to.....

TEMPTATION IS DEVIL'S FRUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ended up in the water with Janice and my sis even though we didn't bring any extra dry clothing with us because ALL OF OUR INITIAL INTENTION didn't involve getting ourselves WET! We eventually lost to our will power and ended up in the waves of TEMPTATION even though we were fully aware of what we would get ourselves in during the end.

Nevertheless, I am not regretting it, at least till now...for my illness haven't worsen yet despite the fact that our clothes had not fully dried up by the time we reached home....I would need to drink more herbal medicine tea in order to void off all possible flu during the next few days.

Really enjoyed myself in the water and yet...burying up Ah Seng was fun. In fact, all of us were teaching him a lesson for all the miseries that he had landed us in during the past two weeks. Hahaha....we even took 8 pictures of him in his 'tomb' (using my sis hp) and it really made us looked like some crazy manics who were torturing a harmless creature. haha...not kidding, we received quite a few bewildered glares from the other people at the beach, especially a little boy who just stood there and stare and stare and stare...it was FUN!!!

I guess that would be our way to tell Ah Seng that he finally be able to be 'reborned' when Cr. Jo decided to end the entire self-directed drama by pronouncing that she had a 'miscarriage'. So, the old Ah Seng had 'died' and now he would be the new Ah Seng after he practically climbed out from his own 'tomb', forming victory signs with both his hands...he even had his own section in the vcd session of today's event...so, indirectly he was actually the male lead leader in the show since majority of the pictures belonged to him...hahaha...

We ended our pinic session around 7:30 p.m. and we reached home around 9:30 p.m.

After seeing the VCD of today's event...(A Dylan Lee's Production) , we almost laughed out....it was really nice...

Yes...life can be nice sometimes....even though it sucks...

Finally--- Today --- I've managed to see my sunshine after the rain.....

I know this sunshine would not last for long because we would get sunburnt for receiving too much sunshine...hahaa...so, no matter what my next challenge in life would be, with all the lessons learnt from my previous challenges...I hope I would be able to manage at least a little better than my previous one and patiently waiting for my NEXT SUNSHINE AFTER THE RAIN!

Let's all ganbarimasu!
