Bimbos' Picnic at Botanic Gardens

Sometime last week, the three of us decided to head down to Botanic Gardens for a picnic. So after 1 hour of getting lost on the road, we arrived at our destination. 

lovely weather

To be honest, Botanic Gardens sounds like a really boring place to me. Well, at least that was the case before we had our picnic. Anyway, it must've been more than 10 years since I last dropped by the place; and the only childhood memory I have of the place is that of a kindergarten outing. 

mich's brownies, geraldine's pasta salad, and my sushi!

dig in!

I was expecting the place to be just as undeveloped as it was 10 years back; expecting parking to be a bitch and the weather to be all too hot... and I was happy to know that finding a lot at the underground carpark was quite a breeze, and the weather was almost perfect for a picnic. Apparently NEA also saw a need to have a food court somewhere near the entrance of the garden, not that I have any grouse about that.

don't they remind you of offerings you place on altars :x

5 minutes upon our arrival at the Garden, we found the perfect picnic spot under the most gigantic tree we could see. It was shady, dry, and gave us a good view of all that was happening around us.

We spread our disposable picnic mat out on the ground and laid our stuff on it, set up the place a little before we started munching on all the food that we brought.

So in between our picnic lunch, we took lots of pictures and gossiped quite a fair bit. I think we were basically just accumulating bad karma points back there. Heh. I'm not going to share with you guys the content of what we talked about here because I don't think it's a nice thing to do. I realized that the three of us are quite similar in some sense.

I had quite a good time back there, enjoying the occasional breeze in my hair and frolicking around in that glorious sunshine, all in the company of 2 good friends.

End. I'm so looking forward to my next picnic.
