Picnic

This week is our first recess week. After two months’ study, our group members decided to have a picnic together. We planned to have a picnic on the near mountain this Monday afternoon.
We set out at 3:00pm in the afternoon. When we got to the destination, all of us are exhausted because of the hot weather and heavy food. Food was put on the desk of the pavilion on the mountain. We had a drink and rested after a long hiking. Then, we looked at the view from the pavilion. The sea under the mountain was very beautiful. From the mountain, we could clearly see the factory and road beyond the sea. I enjoyed the good view silently.
After several minutes, we open the packets to have snacks. At first, we only ate food and talked about the bridging course. Then, several monkeys on the security barrier near the pavilion got our attention. It was our first time to see monkeys in Singapore although our tutor told about some stories that monkeys usually appeared at his home. We are so surprised at seeing monkeys that nobody focused on our food. When I looked around, a cunning monkey had already went to our back slinkingly. Fortunately, it stole nothing before we protected the food on the table. We kept our eyes on the monkeys and expected them to leave. The monkeys tore the plastic bags near the barriers but found nothing left in the bags. Finally, they climbed away disappointedly.
Before we went back at 9:00pm, all of us were immersed in the comfortable environment and talked about some impressive stories in our lives. We enjoyed the pleasant time and were unconscious that time flew so fast.

  1. It was quite a happy picnic.I still remember these clever and "brave" monkeys.To tell the truth, at that moment,I was really afraid that they would steal our food even hurt us.I have taken lots of photos of these lovely monkeys and posted them to the Internet.
