The Lantern Festival

The last time I went to the Chinese Garden was sooo many years ago, and it was also during the lantern festival(free tickets from Co.'s supplier then).  I remembered the spectacularity of its lantern display and had always wanted to bring Renee there when she was younger.  However, hubby's always saying that it's far(from SK that is, plus he always went to Jurong area for work, so it's like silly to come home from there and to go there again, to him la, :D) and so we've never got the chance to do so...

This year, being nearer(or rather at the central), I decided to bring my kids there(thanks to Sharmaine for inviting us 'cos it reminded me about it!  But as we needed to go to my mom's this Sun, we went on our own tonight instead).

After her session at Berries, I let her take a nap before her violin lesson and right after it, we headed straight to AMK hub(again!) for our dinner and groceries shopping.  Renee's very excited when she learnt that we'd be going there, but it was because she had thought I meant the Jacob Ballas children garden, hahaha(that place should be visited during daytime lah!).  However, it ended up that she was still the one who's had the most fun, with the rides, :).

  


She was almost persuaded to try on these 2 but backed out in the end, :)

As for the lantern display at the CG... it was nothing comparable to the view I was greeted with many many years ago.  This festival thingy will last til 18 Sept and I wouldn't suggest for anyone to go there unless U really have nothing better to do...(hv informed Sharmaine the same, so that she won't waste her $ and time there, hehehe) :D.
