Golden Jubilee Long week end - Picnic at Marina Barrage

[Right now is Sat, 8 Aug, night.  Thanks to Mabel coming to stay-over, I had most of this afternoon and tonight to myself, to finish up my blog.  I have schedule all the completed posts to be published in the coming week.  This is the last of the catch up, phew...]

On the first day of the golden jubilee long weekend, I went picnic with Yin's family, mum and Wee San. I suggested botanic garden, but Yin wanted it changed to Marina Barrage, as there's a mass picnic event there, with goodies, performances, and Black Knight show.

I was hot in the morning; we only last one hour (9 to 10+) in the open field.  We moved to the 2nd floor (shaded area) at 10+, and it actually started to rain at 11+!  We ate, flew kites, played some games, and watched the black knight show, and parted ways at close to 1.  As there was a jam in the carpark, we went for lunch at Satay by the bay.  Here are the beautiful photos, except for the totally black and grey planes :) !

After makan, Lynn had a taste of flying kite:


QiWei's good; his kite flew high.  Jocye is almost as tall as me now.

The cousins' wefies.

After we moved to the 2nd floor, we went into the gallery for some aircon.

Lynn and Anthony; Anthony and Lynn..

At 1150, we went back to the open field to catch the black knight show.  This is the view of the crowd on the bridge and at Marina East.

Finally the show started, amid the rain.  So all the photos are black and grey.

After the show, the crowd with their colourful umbrellas coming down, against the misty backdrop of super tree and MBS.

Family photos.  This is WK and my fav photo of the moment.
