Lantern Festival


Last sun, we brought Cherylin to the Chinese Garden. It's our first time bringing her there to see those beautiful lanterns. The theme of the year is 'ocean'. There are lots of fishes, octopuses, etc around the garden. Of cos, there's her favourite dolphine too. We sometimes have difficulties taking pictures of her as she will deliberately look away from the camera. But for the sake of her dolphine, she guai guai pose for daddy to snap. We collected those traditional paper lanterns that were given to every visitor. Cherylin looked on curiously as daddy tried to light up the lantern. It's her first time playing with a paper lantern, that's why her reaction. Somehow this girl dare not hold on to the lantern initially. She held for a while as we moved along. Daddy bought a lotus flower that's to be lit up and placed into the pond. Cherylin had a great time watching by the pond side, looking at the lotus flower as it floated away. The auntie at the stall gave her lots of sweet which made her even happier. We left the place after spending about 2 hours plus there. Asked if she had enjoyed herself, Cherylin gave a positive "Yes!". Frankly speaking, if not for her, we would never have visited the Chinese Garden :P
