A picnic

My father came from his office one day and told us
that we were going to the nearby island for a picnic.
He asked us to guess the island. My brother and I
shouted together “Sentosa!” He gave us a smile. He
then asked my mother to prepare food for the picnic.
My elder sister, younger brother and I started to plan
for the trip. We were so excited that we could hardly
sleep that night.

My father took us in his car. He chose Saturday as the
island will not be overcrowed. We arrived at the World
Trade Center and took the cable car to Sentosa. We
reached Sentosa cable car station and took a monorail
to the beach.

Soon after arrival my mother spotted a thick shady
tree and spread out a large cloth beneath the tree.
She then arranged food and drinks on it. Unable to
control our anxiety we started pestering our father to
take us for a swim. He gladly accepted, leaving my
younger brother in my mother’s custody. We dashed
into the blue waters.

The water was cool and refreshing, we splashed and
frolicked in the water. Several people bathing nearby
gave cold stares. Sensing their irritation at our
mischief my father apologized to them and ordered us
not to be too naughty. My mother was cooling herself
lying under the tree feeding my younger brother.

It was nearly an hour; we came out of the water
fearing that we may get sunburned. We applied oil
lotion over our body and we played in the water for
another half an hour. Meantime my mother had
arranged our food and called us up to eat. We realized
that we had to stop playing and came out of the water
half heartedly.
