Opera by the Park

Almost forgot to blog about this: Went to the Opera by the Park session at the Botanical Gardens last Saturday. It was lovely! Me and two other girlfriends went. One of them was still at work and so I met up with the other to get our picnic stuff ready.

Bought mortadella paprika ham and black pepper beef pastrami for meat and emmental cheese that suited everyone's taste. A punnet of cherry tomatoes, two bottles of water and a can of ASAHI rounded up the day's menu for dinner. Oh! Not forgetting the all-important baguette.

I was a little worried about having to 'reserve' grass patches since there will be many people attending. My worry was unfounded because there was so much land in this big garden. What I had forgotten is how small their car park can be. We almost did not get a parking space and by the time we parked, the show was one quarter gone.

Nevertheless, we went on about our own business, spreading our picnic mat and food and eating away while waiting for the other friend to arrive. She too, got stuck in the parking traffic. By the time she came, the concert was over. But we happily offered to sing for her (no really, just joking).

We did not leave till the moon was hung up high and we fed a stray cat that happened to pass by. Having not chatted enough, we even proceeded for desserts and when we parted, we promised to meet again for more good food and good times.

Ah....! That is life. Simple and yet, delightful all at once.
