Chinese Garden Lantern Festival 2008

Brought SGFemale and son to Chinese Garden on Thursday since the weather was good. Decorated with 21 themes of lanterns, including Hello Kitty and her friends, the Mid-Autumn mood fills the air with laughter and joy. It is the ideal place to be to celebrate all that the Mid-Autumn festival means: The spirit of togetherness and reunion amongst family and friends.

Our son was very excited and happy the entire evening. We bought him a ballon dog that floats on 4 legs and our son was very much attached to his 'dog' the whole nite.

Lantern Fantasy 2008 is the BIGGEST CHARACTER LANTERN SHOW EVER IN THE WORLD, with close to 300 character lanterns handcrafted by 106 lantern craftsmen, over a 3-months period with an average of 16 working hours daily. To create this festival, the organisers have also used 30000m of wires, 18000 pieces of bulbs, 16500m of fabric, 26 tonnes of steel and 750 tubes of fluorescents!

Lantern Fantasy 2008 at the Chinese Garden is easily accessed by car with ample parking available, or a 3-minute walk by MRT to Chinese Garden Station (EW25).

Please go visit if you have not done so!

Night out with mother-in-law at Chinatown

Went Chinatown with both my wife and my mother-in-law last night.
We strolled through streets selling festive fruits and lanterns etc..
The lightning this year is better and nicer.









We had dessert at the new Chinatown hawker centre after walking for almost an hour.
We will bring our son to see the lighting during weekends if it is not too crowded.

Dinner at Mathattan Fish Market - Jusco Tebrau City

We were pleasantly surprise to find this restaurant in Malaysia. They have definitely open it at a very strategic location. This restaurant is truly the competitor for Fish & Co. Their food is good although the waiting time for the food is almost unacceptable.





After much thoughts and considerations, we ordered the below dishes:

OSIM uSpace

Took the chance to test out the uSpace when we were at Jusco Tebrau City. The amazing massge chair manage to relieve the shoulder-ache that was bothering me the entire day!

Super shiok!
Also Super Expensive!
It costs about $RM22,000.
