The next day, we had a picnic corniche beach. The weather very nice and the water so blue. The boys really enjoyed play in the water. I made fried macaroni and fried kueh teow, i also made fruit tartlet( this is kak long's favourite).By the afternoon,the foods were not enough, so we bought pizza and sandwiches, they were very hungry. It so tried.
