the picnic that went indoors

so ee jie had a picnic for my mother's friends before she goes off to new york. it was to be a picnic at the botanical gardens, with picnic mat, straw picnic basket from york, cupcakes from shangri la hotel and etc etc etc. and of course it poured. but the last minute wet weather program arranged through a five minute phonecall proved to be a sweet alternative. we all ajourned to auntie j's house at bukit timah for an alternative type of picnic. out on her huge verandah with timber deck, koi pond, timber furniture and a good after-rain breeze, this picnic was not bad at all.

mee tai mak lunch and a long snooze in your presence. i like.

ps. and i didn't even watch the national day parade. tsk. shame on me. but at least we had durians.
