We went Kusu Island for a picnic and swim at the lagoon with my sister-in-law’s family. There are altogether 9 of us. It was just a 20 mins ferry ride from Marina South Pier but it was quite bumpy on the ferry. It was quite cloudy and windy today. However, we got sunburn too.
We reached there at about 10.20am. We passed by the temple which was near the jetty and made our wish at the wishing well. Hope that all our wish comes through next year (with action on our part) because a wish is just a vision. And I’ll like to quote what Joel Barker said “Vision without action is a dream. Action without vision is simply passing the time. Action with Vision is making a positive difference.” Further down the path, there was a tortoise wishing well with many tortoises in it. As it was a weekday, we had the lagoon all by ourselves. We had a good splash in the water although the water is quite dirty and something underneath it kept poking us and we felt a sharp pain on our body, thigh, leg or hand. It was so painful that Joyce refused to go back into the water again. But the rest of us were in the water for a few hours. We enjoyed the wave pushing us from behind our back to the shore. They also played with the sand, buried themselves under the sand with others’ help and took turn to fly kite as I only have one. We had hard boiled eggs, chicken nuggets, breads, fruit (apple & cucumber) and juice for our lunch. Joyce and Ivan liked munching the potatoes chips very much.
We left Kusu Island at 2.45pm so that we could get a glimpse of St John Island before heading back home. However, we were quite disappointed as we only had 10 mins stop at St John Island. Then we were ferried back to Kusu Island to pick up other passengers because 3.45pm was the timing of the last ferry back from Kusu on weekdays.
Nevertheless, we had a great time having fun together especially for the children and they wanted to go again next year.
