Trishh's Bday ~ Camping
One thing that was very different is, way back then we had to pitch the tents for them but now, they could do it by themselves ~ with a little of daddy's supervision!
There were so many people already camping when we arrived at East Coast. The campers pitched the tents practically everywhere......... I mean really everywhere, like under the bridge! Anyway, we were lucky we could managed to find a good spot away from the crowd....... so we thought!
At about 5pm, the weather has changed from good to bad then worst! It was pouring heavily...... My poor daughter & her friends were all drenched. At first they hid themselves in the tent but decided to play in the rain since the tent could not hold them in for long because of the strong wind. Nevertheless, they enjoyed themselves very much getting wet in the rain!
As for the rest of us, we were back at home preparing for the BBQ stuff. When we arrived at the park, we waited in the car for the rain to stop........These were some of the pictures taken in the car as I was feeling bored & wanted to tease the boys! Hmmm........ only my good husband posed for me!
The boys....... "没脸见人"
These were pictures taken before the rain stopped.
The beauties with umbrella..... :P
The Mr Handsome........ 8-)
we also managed to take some pics of the helicopter with the Singapore flag by- passing the East Coast beach after the rain stopped.
"Happy 43rd Birthday Singapore!"
Then you see daddy preparing for the BBQ dinner.
The place was not lited up properly as a few of the park lamps were not switched on....Grargh!!! So some DIY work were done on our own! Lia & Daddy became the handymen.
Some Yummy BBQ food...........
Trishh's friends.........
Trishh had a solo pic with her birthday cake!

How old is she? Aiyah, still young.......... twelve only!

At about 11pm, most of the guest has gone home except the 7 of us (my family of 4, nephew - Darien, Trishh's friend - Sarah, sis's maid - Lynn).
We spent good quality time chatting and catching up with one another till the wee hours....... & then we went for a stroll at the Bedok Jetty watching people fishing in the middle of the night.
As I was dozing off (god knows what time already), I heard the children giggling and laughing. Guess what........ they were teasing a couple smooching away on a chair, just a distant from their tent. The children used the torchlight to shine at them and intentionally walked near them and then played around them! But the couple continued with their smooching and ignored the children.....tsk, tsk, tsk! I guess after a while, the couple gave up on them, and disappeared back into their tent.
The children were still full of energy till early morning at about 6am. They waited for the sunrise but realised that they could not see it from this part of the island..........
But this piggy slept earlier than the other 3 children. However, he is no angel at all. Look what he was trying to do to his sister?!!!!
The children woke up at about 9am........ -o-
We cooked maggie mee and had muffins for breakfast :)
We wanted to stay a little longer to laze around but the weather did not agree with us.........So we quickly packed up & head for home before the next raindropp falls!
