international hammock day

we went to east coast park today to try out the new hammocks my aunt bought from beach road. haha, yup, i'm not joking! (i also had the intention to try out my new digi cam!)

my dad just bought us a new camera, after my brother took our only one to melbourne. and of course i got to choose the model i liked! i was looking for a camera that was relatively small, but not extra-slim, had good natural-coloured photo prints, long battery life and fast shutter speed. and i found it all.. and more in the Panasonic Lumix fx8! it's such a cooool baby...=) i love my new toy! and it's got this optical image stabiliser function, whereby this smarty cam can actually correct any photo 'blurness' caused by shaky hands!

we had 3 different hammocks, the string/rope kind, the really thin string kind and the army kind. haha, in the end the army one was used as a mat, cos it was so pvc-like it didn't look very comfy at all...

i love the sea breeze! i found the rhythmic constancy of the waves running onto the shore a calming presence... i could have sworn i felt my heart rate slowing down... and just when everyone had quietened down amidst nature's tranquil lull, my mum said in the most serious of tones:" imagine if a tsunami were to come... wah...so scary..." (eh...hmm...)

i think i can safely say all of us (with the exception of bento) enjoyed the being near the sea... now my mum wants to buy a hammock to put in the car... haha


everyone loved the sea, except bento... he was petrified! i think he thought he was going to drown or something...

hammock fun!

we're falling!!! even bento doesn't dare to look!

we ended the evening with a really unhealthy dinner of 30 chicken wings, 3 packets of prawn noodles, 2 packets of jiu(3) he(2) eng(4) cai(3), 1 packet of cha kway teow, 6 curry puffs, 8 cups of sugar cane and several more cups of tea and coffee... lovastatin here we come! but it was a great dinner nonetheless..=)
