Marina Barrage

God answered our prayers for the perfect weather to go for an outing with our CG mates at Marina Barrage! Yeah! It was cloudy and windy. As usual, our family was the first to reach the destination. Here's what we did while waiting for the rest to arrive...

Checking out all the water fountains

Exploring the perimeters

Looking out into the sea and observing the construction

When our friends finally came, we went up to the roof for kite-flying. It was extremely annoying that the $25 styrofoam aeroplane kite that I bought for Joash could not stay up in the air. It seemed too heavy and kept falling to the ground the moment I stopped tugging at it. Good money down the drain for buying a good-looking but useless kite...

Doesn't Jayna look like a director

sitting on the portable stool?

Jayna: "Camera roll... Action!"

Now watch a short clip of her

taking a stroll with her Daddy.

This is my favorite picture of our friend's kite

Soon, the sun came out from behind the clouds and it was too hot to enjoy ourselves. We headed back down for our picnic. There aren't any photos of the food, I'm afraid, cos I was too busy eating while feeding our princess Jayna who has the nasty habit of biting more than she could chew and spitting the food out.

After a nice meal...

Like always, it was really tough trying to take a family photo. The kids hate to stay still and we valiantly attempted to smile and pose while fighting to contain our squirming children. It was so hard getting a decent shot and all of them turned out looking like our smiles were frozen and the kids just ate some worms... *haiz* Still, I really wanna thank our CG mate for his patient efforts to capture something presentable for us.
