Those days when we slogged long hours at work so we could earn more money to fuel our travelling costs for future, we only rested for a day every week. And this off day was very precious to us! Our group of friends always applied for our off days to fall on the same day so we could go sight-seeing together!!!
On 13th June 2007, we decided to visit Maymount Park!!! It was a few miles away from our hostel, and walking that distance with fun-loving friends under lovely weather was never going to tie down our spirits. :)
Along the way, we came across this very vast short grass field!!! Immediately the soccer-frenzy us guys were like dashing across the field within seconds. HAHAHA!!! Busy Roys was so in his wonderland, he kept sliding onto the grass and relishing the feeling of the soft grass cushioning his butt. HAHAHA!!!
Look at the beautiful field!!! It's a soccer haven.
After feeling guilty of having the girls wait for us kicking the ball around, we continued on our journey.
Below are some pics of the nice relaxing trek! :)
And below, VERY interesting snapshots... LOL!!!!
(we really have no idea where the video tape came from, it was just lying innocently on the grass!)
And finally..... WE REACH!!! ^_^
Some scenic pics of inside Maymount Park... the place was peaceful and excellent to spend a rest day at...
(Above) Bottom row, 1st from left: Taking cover under the shelter, we whipped out our tupperwares where we enjoyed our packed lunch - what else but sandwich! HAHA. It was the same 7 days a week. Though that lunch was mundanely boring and tasteless (cheap ham/sausage + lettuce + stolen mayo/tomato/mustard), it felt like a fun picnic!!! :D
Above: Raintree Pictures. (I don't have to specify who was behind the camera, need I?)
Blur Bee VERY relieved to find a restroom. HAHAHA!
Maymount Park also comprised of a small animal farm. Look at all the little animals we saw chirping/mooing/snorting/cackling!
THEY WERE ALL VERY CUTE!!!!! Just like a childrens' farm! Very cute!!!
If you guys wanna recheck the pics above, the icon on the signboard at the entrance to Maymount Park... is a peacock!
AND WE THINK THAT PEACOCK IS THIS ONE!!! HOW MAJESTIC IT LOOKS!!!
"As proud as a peacock".
And we witnessed the above saying: the peacock opened up its majestic tail span and displayed its prowess to the poor kids (not children, but young goats!) and fowls. But look how beautiful its tail is... my first experience with such a well developed full grown peacock... ultra gorgeous!!!
Whilst still at the park, we came upon this very huge tree with giant spreading branches.
Below, Ivan helping Jx onto one strong branch. "1, 2, 3, - Heave!!!"
And Jx, obviously very on-top-of-his-own-world, very happy!
And of cos, Busy Roys also wanted to leave his buttprints on the tree!!!
Somemore nice scenes...
There was also a Japanese Garden inside Maymount!! We spent some time appreciating the efforts done in creating it, in fact it was quite splendid.
Finally... with the day coming to an end, we made our way out of the sightly landscape...
before we chanced upon this hole!
Theme: Pose like a fairy/god!
(wth is Jx doing...)
And so we ended our day... well spent with lots of memories along with it. :) Thanks to all my friends for making it happen!!!
