We took a long-awaited trip to Upper Pierce Reservoir this late afternoon. We'd talked about going there for ages, but things just got in the way. So I decided to make things not get in the way, for today at least.

It has been at least five to six years since I'd last been there. I knew vaguely which bus to take, but didn't know where to stop, so Az and I played it by ear, as we usually do.

Stopped at the correct stop.

The only problem was that we way underestimated the time and distance into the reservoir itself, from the main road. Walking in took about 50 minutes; the return journey was about 40 minutes. We were ill-prepared for the walk, actually: he was in a pair of sandals, and I was in slippers. Had we worn track shoes, the walk would have been much easier. But ah well. We're the kinds who adapt easily to situations like this.

Had brought a box of cereal for "linner" (lunch/dinner) and after we'd chosen a spot to spread our ground sheet, we decided upon a "ritual" we both came up with to dissuade many ants from bothering us: we used whatever food we had - in this case, the multi-colored cereal - as a peace-offering.

I threw the ball-cereal randomly, having fun. Some time later, we spotted large (half an inch long?) black ants investigating one of the red balls, and I took a few macro-shots of it. We saw a yellow- and an orange-cereal ball moving amongst the grass blades also, and I also took macro-shots of the ants. :P Can't help it: was hilarious.

Went for dinner sometime around 8pm, and then went to COURTS, checking out the furniture, discussing what we liked or didn't like; commented on the TV sets, the washing machines, and the fridges. A few of the salespeople there seemed mightly-amused by us, though.

Sat down at some random place and chatted about stuff which I shall not disclose. =)

Extremely-nice day, all-in-all.

I love our dates. =D They're fun, hilarious, and downright silly most of the times, but I love them anyways. =D
