Summer Fun in the Parks

Yes, everybody loves summer!! We hate the heat waves, no doubt. But we love the long sun-shiney days. We love the barbeques, the swims in the sea, hanging out at the beach.We love a little picnic under the summer breeze. 

Yesterday, a few of us went to Fitzroy Gardens for a little picnic and dance in conjunction with their summer event, Summer Fun in the Parks.

We learned swing dancing :) Yeaps!

Michelle and Sarah - both in their feminine floral dresses.

The group, minus Tisha cause she was taking the photo. From L-R: Melissa, Jonathan, Sarah (back), Mei, Michelle.

The brother - sister combination. Don't you reckon they look alike?? I'm so jealous they both have good skin! Arghhh... and Jon doesn't even do anything besides cleanse his face. Damnit! Life is soooo unfair sometimes! Bleks.

The spread... well, more like half of the spread. What a coincidence, that we all brought Lemonade as the drink of choice! Hahahha... Perfect for 30 degrees heat... The ultimate thirst quencher! MmMmm...

For those who missed the flash mob dancing thing on Bourke Street, outside David Jones the other day - we got a second chance to catch them! Performing liveeeee....

If you don't quite know what I'm referring to, watch this.

Pretty cool, don't you reckon??

Yeah, this is them :)

Jon and I managed to learn some basic swing steps from the friendly instructors there. It was quite fun!! :) Learning dancing with like a hundred other people, while picnic-ing at the park. What more can you ask for??

Oh champagne!! Oh wait a minute, we got that too!! Complete with a set of champers glass!! *Cheersssss*

Look at this cutesy doggie! I wish I brought Remy too!

Happy happy faces - Melissa, Jon and Mei.

(Digression: Can you see the hot pink Longchamp bag at the corner? Jon bought it for me from Hong Kong :) Thanks baybeh! *muah*)

The sun set, and the stars came out as we danced the night away. We sat, chatted, ate, chilled, ate summore, gossiped, and ate summore... Kekekeke.

Smiley face :) It's almost like a toothpaste commercial! Kekeke, Michelle needed to show abit more teeth though. She's being overshadowed by the two of them.

After a glass of rose sparkling wine, Mei became a very happy person. The night ended on a good note for me. The only thing I wasn't looking forward to: the 43 degrees heat wave today!

But guess what though?? I actually managed okay because I was practically indoor the whole day. Worked from  0800 to 2130 - so I barely got to see any sun. But when I got out, OMG!! My car was like an oven!!! Crappola!

I already had 2 icypoles, and 3 cold drinks!! Thank God I'm home now, lying in bed, in front of the air-conditioner... What would I do without modern inventions??
