Picnic @ Marina Barrage!

In times of recession, we decided that birthday celebrations this year shall be simple. Mine was a potluck at Mel's place. And now, for Mel's celebration, she suggested having a picnic at Marina Barrage. Good idea as some of us, including me, have never been there before. We did a similar picnic for her at Bontanical Gardens last year.

Unfortunately for us, we were greeted with heavy rain at around 3plus 4. Our picnic was suppose to start at 4pm. We postponed it to 5. The weather was still gloomy when we arrived at the barrage. The sky was sort of clearing up but the guard there did not allow us anyone to go out in the open. Think he was afraid that we get struck by lightning. Anyway, we got tired from waiting and decided to have our picnic on the concrete ground where we were standing.


The gloomy skies that greeted us when we arrived.
