An awesome day with friends
I went to East Coast Park for barbecue with my Church friends. It was a zone event, and there were many people who went for that barbecue session. We played a number of games there before the barbecue start. The games were fun and thrilling, which made everyone bond with each other more. We spent quite some time getting the fire started as the wind was strong due to the surrounding. I went to help out in barbecuing the chicken wings, otahs and satays. We had a mini concert by the sea. It was cooling and the mini concert lasted for an hour. It was a successful concert which many of us enjoyed as we sang along together with the singers. Not long later, we went home as it was about 11 p.m.Game leaders briefing about how to play the games.
Helped out with the barbecuing.
Enjoying the mini concert.
