Picnic @ Marina Barrage!

i havent been to marina barrage, so i expected we'd have a typical picnic where we sit on the grass, hide ourselves below a tree, enjoy the scenery, listen to birds chirping melodiously and complaining that the weather's frigging hot nowadays. but to my delight we settled at a tent along a bridge! haha. so we had nice shelter, solid concete ground.

everyone was supposed to bring something edible, and so we did, except for engkwan who bought his iPod dock. u cant eat that do u? but that did provide pleasant entertainment.

laimeng - mayo crabmeat

sharon - sandwich

hanxie - drinks and cups. smart of you to bring the latter.
minghan - shao rou and cucumber
melissa - short hotdogs
me - long hotdogs and fish nuggets

we forgot forks and spoons.

camwhore.

laimeng says the shaven spastic looks like a monk. look, the monk's begging for money! so he walked along the bridge with the iPod dock and money-collecting cup. i wonder what made him wanna parade himself like that. kudos to u.....hahhaha.

marina bay has always been a popular spot for kite-flying. 7 JC students thought it'd be easy to fly a kite......

1st attempt

2nd attempt

XXXth attempt

i guess we probably forgot to incorporate physics laws into kite-flying. perhaps some calculations could have made our attempts succeed.

the stubborn kite looked like it had metal chains secured onto it. then one uncle told us that this kite is actually different from normal ones. we bought a 'stunt kite'(like wtf?!) which requires strong winds to fly, due to its ability to perform stunts such as turning 360degrees mid air........*yawns.

alright to put it simply, we bought the 'wrong' kite.

hence we bought another kite, which didnt appear to be a 'stunt kite'. so we began trying again.

it was still to no avail.

packed up and prepared to leave. then suddenly strong winds came. took out the kite again. tried. the kite flew! cheers!

seconds later the string snapped -.- dont you just feel like swearing? hahahha.

the poor kite landed in the pool of water, drowned. haha.

i probably wont fly a kite for some time.

meet up again guys! :D
