our weekend

just came back from visiting two babies, so you can imagine how exhausted i am. it was another activity-filled weekend. these pictures were taken in chinatown on saturday evening - the initial plan was to carry our lanterns and enjoy the street light-up and decorations around chinatown and the singapore river. we didn't do it in the end, since there weren't many people carrying lighted lanterns (only a couple of kids, our skin not that thick)... so we're postponing it till the actual day itself, which is tuesday night! and xp is right, it'll probably be at west coast park. i'm sure there will be lots of kids around playing with fire and sparklers, that was what we used to do in the past at the void deck, a particular corner would be dirtied with the unburnt candle wax the next morning. i still love the traditional paper lanterns, it's amazing how they can turn so pretty with just a glowing lit candle. i guess this is why mid-autumn festival remains one of my favourite chinese festivals. it better not rain on tuesday night. :-)
