If you were to ask me, what is the one thing in my life that I will forever be thankful for?
Its the people I grew up with. My parents, my sister, my adorably naughty nephews, and my awesome and wonderful cousins. And my amazing, always there for me friends.

But friends aside, this blog entry is dedicated to those closest to my heart.
I am very thankful that growing up, I am always surrounded by the people I love. Always.
From family get-togethers to picnics to bbqs to holidays to weekend outings, there is always something for me to look forward to.
But now, as we grow older, as we focused more on work, school, our goals, we lost track of what actually makes us happy. We forget to stop, and take a deep breath. We forget to tell someone that they're always on our minds, heck, we don't even think of them anymore. Our lives is just about us, us and us. And that got me wondering, what if one day, our loved ones moved on, would we regret not spending more time with them? Would we regret the times we could have called or just sms them to let them know they're on our minds?

So, I decided to re-create our cousins day out. The last time we had one was months ago, so it was perfect timing.
It was easy really, all I had to do was to tag everyone in my FB status. And then the planning begins...Where? When? Who to bring what? What games? What time?
And finally, came the day filled with laughter, fun and love.

Simply put, we had lots and lots and lots of fun. We got to catch up with each other, gossip, do crazy things like play twister in the middle of the walkway. And reminisce our childhood days with UNO. Its a wonder how such simple activities can bring so much laughter and fun. Well, it must be the company. Again, I am very thankful to have such fun, happening and spontaneous cousins. And I am definitely gonna make this a monthly affair. So, June's coming, that means I've got to start planning for a new activity for us to indulge in.
So, while I'm busy thinking of possible activities, here's some pictures from 14th May's picnic:

Food, glorious food.
A time to bond, share and love. Spread the love, everyone.
Every precious moment, captured.
Spectacular view. Beautiful skyline.

I came across this quote once, "Family life is not a computer program that runs on its own;
it needs continual input from everyone."
And I couldn't agree more.

And I couldn't agree more.
