The much dreaded family picnic at west coast park last saturday wasnt that bad afterall. For sure, I was bored stiff mostly, but in the end, I think it was about time that I did something for my mom (especially since she was so adamant about going). The occasion however, wasnt so pleasant due to a couple of things; Firstly, the park was practically teeming with families who had planned to spend their Labour Day outdoors and thus it wasnt as peaceful as I thought it would be. Secondly, the beach there was incredibly dirty and polluted; playing on the sand or in the water was definitely out of the question. Thus, I spent most of the time either lounging about at the McCafe nearby or in the shade, lying on the grass & dozing off. I did NOT enjoy myself much but at least my mom did; she had a fantastic time catching up with the rest of her siblings. That's all that matters I suppose...
PS: I've resolved to learn to fly a kite before this year is over. hahaha
