It Only Rains When I Wear White ...


The gang decided to head to the Marina Barrage for a picnic. Convinced that there was absolutely nothing there, we were overly equipped with food and water, only to find mobs of people and opened restaurants. Damn !

Marina Barrage, Singapore’s 15th reservoir, with a catchment area of 10,000 hectares, right in downtown Singapore.

The reservoir boasts of a gallery, a bridge with solar panels, cafe, restaurant and an open area with a spectacular view of the city. To my delight, the Hainanese steamboat restaurant from the old 7th Storey hotel has moved over to the Marina Barrage. Definitely coming back for a meal again..


As for the four of us, we spent the night chatting away on a picnic mat, with the food and bottle of wine that we brought over earlier. The happily attached couple, the virgin and the newly single were engaged in a rapid conversation that covered many aspects of the bedroom. Rowdy, raunchy and fun. Good company, good Saturday.
