Lantern Festival 2010

When news on Lantern display along Singapore River this year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, JM had mentioned that he wanted to bring the kids to go take a look. But because he will be away next week for work and hence, we were only left with this weekend to decide which day to go.

And yesterday was the chosen day! Kinda regretted it when we were making our way there ... because the place is PACKED!!! All directions leading to that area is JAMMED!!! It took us more than an hour to travel from Commonwealth to Singapore River (Central) and to finally park our car. This is CRAZY!!! I almost want to cancel the trip liao but Owein burst out into tears when we got to turn out from Central (because carpark + valet FULL). Owein's reaction really surprised me because he seldom does that. This proof that he'd really looked forward to this outing.

We finally found a parking in a building at the opposite side of the river and walk our way there. After a quick dinner at Burger King, we made our way to go see the lantern display.

My opinion, if not because of the kids and companions ... I probably will not even want to go see. Seriously, I think is nothing spectacular. Somemore got to bear the jam and crowd ... really not worth the efford.

Oh well ... but at least the kids enjoyed it. Oswald slept till about 11:00am then woke up this morning. I guess he was tired out last night ^_^
