Changi Weekend

On Sunday, we went for a picnic at Changi Beach. We reckoned that the East Coast Beach will be packed with lots of beachbums and terribly crowded so we decided to head for Changi Beach instead. After scouting through the place we found out that there were too many campers around but we picked a spot near to the public utility room so that the kids can bathe after playing sand. But we couldn't decide so we ended up near the Changi Ferry Jetty where the anglers are.

The sand there is not very pretty and more coarse and also because of the high tide, the remaining part of the sand was strewn with lots of leaves and casuarinas. We laid out the picnic mats for the girls and we even brought our picnic chairs with us. I helped the girls fill up the collapsible mini pool as I didn't want them to be in the sea since it was high tide. Luckily we brought along a large pail to fill up the mini pool with seawater. Rae had a lovely time just lying on it.

I packed some food in case the girls get hungry. I wasn't planning for a lot of food as we would only stay for lunch. The weather was great, not sunny as it had been like that for weeks. We were also under the many shady casuarina trees so it was definitely better than to be in hot sun. There were anglers just nearby and I reminded the girls not to make a lot of noise.


Sausies and Lamb Patty with lots of mustard




Skewerless Beef Satay and Honey Baked Ham




Rae snacking in the the shallow mini pool




High tide near the Jetty, so less beach to play




Oh Look! Kakak and Lea both can't stop the 'Wang Wang' biscuits too
