Riverside Picnic

As most of us know, its Fifa WorldCup Season now. Everyone is talking about the games that occured the day before or maybe even a few minutes ago. Even for someone who isn't much of a football fan was influenced by my housemate's enthusiasm and found myself cheering on the teams while watching it.
As my semester is going to end soon, classes are starting to get more and more relax as teachers are thinking of how they want to spend their holidays sunbathing on the beach(somehow, Russians love to get sun burnt during summer and especially getting it done at the sea side). Hence, we as students are also slacking off as well while what we actually need to do is to get ready for the final exams that are just round the corner.
Not long ago, me and my friends when walking down to a riverside that is near our apartment which is quite a popular spot among us students for picnic and barbeque. After such a visit, we planed to have a picnic done as one of our groupmate's parents are in the town for their eldest daughter(my friend's eldest sister) graduation which took place yesterday.
So, today we went down there for a picnic. Everything was quite nice, the weather was more towards a cool side as the sun was partially covered by the hovering clouds above and there weren't many locals fishing or playing near the river as we saw the other day.
In short, it was quite a change to have our dinner out in the open near mother nature. Although I enjoyed feeding my stomach to a scrumptious meal(we had quite a number of Malaysian dishes accompanied with some local drinks known as khvac), I didn't quite enjoyed the other part of feeding, which was feeding the wild and blood deprived female mosquitoes my blood(did you know that most or maybe all the mosquitoes that sucks blood are female as the male only take plant sap and nectar as their source of nutrient?)
I forgot to add the fact that my friend and her boyfriend who now has a dog brought the dog along(a chow chow) and I had fun playing with it. I miss my dog very much !!!
