The Chinese Garden Experience

Filed under: Life Chronicles

It was the Moon (Mid-Autumn) festival in 6 October and my friends invite me to go along with them to celebrate it by going to the Chinese Garden in Singapore. Really, it would have been a beautiful night with a full moon shining in the sky, if it wasn’t for the haze covering up the sky and ruining the whole situation… :???:

We departed each from our own locations and decided to meet by 8 pm in the Chinese Garden MRT Station. When all of us have arrived, turns out that it was only seven of us coming: me, Esther, Cory, Mori, Evi, Michael and Edy. As always, we come equipped with cameras to collect memories of the night. It was very hot and jam packed there, as it seems that half of the Singaporeans are coming to this place (while the other half are going to Chinatown). The Moon festival is also dubbed as the lantern festival, and certainly the exhibitions in the Chinese Garden did not disappoint. There were many beautiful formation of lanterns and a lot of beautiful sceneries that we took pictures with. I have uploaded some of those (not all of those as most are my friend’s pictures and they want to keep them private) and you can click here to access the whole album.

As a shameless self-promotion, I will post two of my best pictures of that night here.

Well, I told ya it would be shameless :mrgreen:

I must say my thanks to my friends though. I am really grateful for being able to come into KP GPO. The first six months I have been practically doing nothing but studying, but on this first month alone being with them, I have been able to see a lot of places I haven’t been to before, like the MacRitchie Natural Reservoir, the Roti Prata House (yum!) and this Chinese Garden. Well, I seem to have gotten a lot fatter too because I’ve been eating too much with them and I’ve been to many eating places I’ve never been to before, but it’s good, it feels just like home with Latreia, going out and trying new places to eat. Certainly it’s a lot better than my daily chore of just eating in either JCU’s cafetaria or the nearby hawker centre…
