yes, 1st we start to pitch the tent. not so small of a picnic idea you got, right? eh, this is part of our bonding session okay! we even competed with another family nearby, though they never bothered us. lucky thing we had a former SPL and girl guide to help out. this picture is the only action that i did; so you go on and guess how much i did try to help.

the 2 belos who just looked on, especially R! i think she plays the encouragement role!

this is the new trend on how to clip your hair. one small clip at the center to hold all that strands of hair from blocking your eyes. i present to you trendsetter 2008, ms rashidah yaacob. you may ignore my cute expression, but you have to take note of that dark cloud behind.we got a tent, and R had some unwanted attention. LOL. (of course, i'm joking!)D was all worn out pitching the tent while giving instructions on how to do so. yes, she sat on the rope. no, nothing happened.as you can see, our run-away-from-home bags.

because D, N and i was so excited about the tent, we quickly settled in it. and not letting A and R enter. actually, they were the ones who said it was hot inside. so they enjoyed the breeze just outside.then we started taking pictures, as ordered by A.
you must look at R's expression. oh-so-unglam!

we laid some newspapers inside the tent, just in case we spilled food or drinks, which i did. that was expected of me, right?

did i tell you that R was my 1st best friend i made in Damai? we go on till now of course!
there's the sun, and there's the dark cloud.
and all started taking pictures of it.
then the oh-so-famous jump shots.

and next, into the water we go.squeeeeezzzeee! R was too busy playing in the water.
sorry R and N, for coming in late into the picture which thus resulted in your faces being blocked by A's big smile.

then the sun came up again!
i jumped for joy.A and N were pleased, D was lost.step survivor at ecp. haha!
wrote our names on the sand, and posed and posed.


then we start to bury R with sand. gosh that was soooo fun. because she kept on laughing when sand fell on her neck. then i purposely tickled her neck and recorded her cute giggle. and oh we start to shape her up with the perfect body, if you get what i mean. wrong expression here. she had trouble breathing because we put a lot of sand on her and it was sooo heavy.
i was just too tired from all the laughing at R's reactions.
then we went up to our tent. all was tired and hungry! so A took out all the food. because we were wet and sandy, we just ast outisde while A did all the cleaning inside the tent.

then the rain finally came.luckily, we were somewhat dried up so we quickly went into the tent. good thing D suggested to bring it, because i forced all to bring their own umbrella before the picnic. it was the rainy season and the news said it was going to rain all day! oh and R said,
Rashidah: is it raining now?
she commented approximately 5 mins after getting into the tent.took more pictures of course. but most of all, we were tired. R went on her 2nd round of fried rice, D was lying down and N was just beside me. then i accompanied R to the ladies because she had sand all over. the other 3 just stayed inside the tent because it was raining. then i had to leave. but D, N, R and A stayed on till about 8 i think. R did more eating and looked at the pictures for the day. D and A talked about their school stuffs, or rather people. N fell asleep, i think. obviously this was all after the picture taken below.and our rubbish; besides the rubbish thing we did/talk, we ate alot too; so that explains.but above all, EVERYONE was happy. so home sweet home next.that was it. WHAT A LONG DAY. the picnic to remember. though i insist Z should have come down. but she was tired. nevermind. there'll be other times. gosh, i wish we can really do this every month. i don't mind. obviously because they are my always-loved girlfriends. even if we don't really behave like girls, who cares?
