Bird Day picnic

So, I turned 30 on 21 March, Sat. I thought it was going to be really scary, but I went through it without much fuss, and with lots of lurrve. The CS gang (Shar and belle, you were missed!) gathered at the Botanic Gardens for a wonderful Bird Day picnic. Ben turned 32 the same day, so I dragged him into my birthday celebration. The day was perfect, and the greenery was wonderful!

Everyone brought a little something for the special day. DSD cooked pasta salad, Kartaly made beef stew and baked cookies, HJ bought Don Pie, Ben got sausages and chicken, ethan mummy brought apple pie and ice-cream, kb (despite his whining) carried ice and some juice, and and and Yuen Lin our food editor cooked sausages and lugged her office stash - bottles of beer - all the way home and to the gardens. Bravo!!! Our garang woman with her heavy box below...while kb, the errr...MAN, walks past, sweating. :)

We were so very happy to finally get to eat Kartaly's yummy beef stew, after the lid got stuck due to the hot steam (I don't know the science behind it). Here's ben trying to yank the lid off. HAHA. (Kartaly there's one of you and him huffing and puffing, really funny, but I must maintain your glam image, so the photo is not here. Hahahaha.)

This is a bunch of friends who treasure sleeping in on Saturdays, and who willingly cooked the night before or chose to wake up really early to prepare/buy stuff. Thank you so much for the thought and love. I'm glad you guys enjoyed the piknik. We should do it again. Yes, even kb is a convert now - learning to be a man at pikniks. Heh heh.

Oh before I forget, Kaiser made a special appearance too, knocking down our half-drunk beer bottles with Ruff :)
