Mid Autumn Festival Celebrations

We decided to go have dinner at the Central and then enjoy the mid autumn festival at the riverside, with our lanterns !!!

Ready to go outside with our lanterns !!!

At the Central .... I insisted on carrying 表妹 lantern ....

The year of the Dragon ... for Daddy

The year of the Snake ... for Mummy

And the year of the Goat ... for 公公

But when it was 表妹's turn to take a photo with 公公, she cried !!!

Not even 舅舅 can pacify her. She just wanted 舅母

The year of the Rabbit ... not my year, just like Rabbit !!!

And you got this right .... taking a family photo in front of my year, the year of the Dog !!!

三国演义 lanterm float. You think I know what that was ??? Of course not lar ... just found the float pretty so must take a photo

Can you see what the greedy 猪八戒 is holding in his hand ???

肉干!!! Because this is sponsored by 香味 !!!

Very nice lantern decoration by the Sentosa Underwater World .... the ocean life

猜灯谜 - Daddy's favourite.

See grid C10 : 半耕半读 : 猜一字. Managed to guess the answer ???

The answer is 讲. Take away the left half of the word 耕 and the right half of the word 读 and join the remaining halves .... and you get 讲.

Photos ....

The day before, Daddy and Mummy brought me to Chinatown to soak in the mid autumn festive as well ... initially we wanted to go to the kite flying festival, but it was so crowded that we changed our mind and went to Chinatown.

All set to go, with my stylo-milo sunglasses .... took it from Mummy

Daytime view of Chinatown

And night time contrast ...

And we saw this very cute lantern that can blow bubbles !!! If I have not got a lantern already, I would have insisted Daddy to buy that for me

Lanterns, lanterns everywhere, with Japanese words on them (meaning Welcome to Singapore)

And we saw part of the road was closed to the traffic. People can carry their lanterns and parade down the roads ...

There wer even performances

Since it was quite late, we did not join in the parade (and also because I did not bring my lantern that night).
