Pretty big spider at my house the other day.It's aragog's child!
Past few days were good fun!
We spent monday organising the chalet.
Planning the dates,the lodging,the food and making sure it was confirmed.
Now that we've successfully planned a bbq and a chalet,we have a basic priceline to fall back on on our next one!=)
Less hassell for the next!
Monda night after planning and eating,we went to shop n save and fairprice to check the prices and have some guai lan supermarket fun!we didnt expect fairprice to close so late as 11pm! that was productive.cant wait for it!
More or less the chalet is a small group event.the more people,the more hassle,the more logistics required and all that.gotta keep it simple!=)
Tuesday was more of relaxing as usual.
And was looking forward to lantern fest!
Which just happened today!
One word,relives our memories as kids as well as give us new horizons for the next few lantern festivals we shall be celebrating together =D
Im sure all of us or most of us can remember the days we spent from nursery to primary school spending our lantern festivals with our cousins,aunts and uncles.Going to parks to play sparklers or lanterns,eating mooncakes,our lanterns catching fire,the noisy battery lanterns,the sad feeling we get when we have to go home,the tired and yet lazy to bathe feeling that we just want to go home and sleep.
All those years i feel have gone by for most of us,so to those little kids,appreciate your moments that you spend with family during such rare occasions.
i thank my parents and relatives for those memories.enjoy it while the family politics still remains in the shadow.
So in my 17th year of life,i have come to realise that our friends will be our families in future.Well it took some time to sink in even though we probably knew it in sec 3 or 4.Sure i love my family and some of my relatives,but somehow the drift is there just like soem friends.We know of their existence,but somehow the like poles of a magnet keep us apart and only bring us back to contact when one party is about to leave this place.
On to the details!met melody for dinner at subway,keith had dinner at home,so did guo siong and wei lin,xianda couldnt come though.he had some dinner event that his uncle organised last minute.
So we met them all at around 6.30 at the market.Ryan came too!
Started off with the simple candle to the ground.tried to make a floating lantern but failed.Hung some lanterns here and there before we left for the next park.
Hung a red lit lantern at the swing at the next park and then left it swining haha!
Hopefully it scared some people.
Went to the next but stopped at the coffee shop to get a drink and pao!
Went to the next which was rather crowded.didnt spend long there.
The next was one of the longest.We totally smoked the whole place with sparklers!haha!there was a pedophile watching us!We covered the place in smoke and then ditched the place before they called any police.
Then went back to the first park!Which was the best.
Finally it wasnt so crowded.We went to start more candles on the ground,and lit guo siong's sparker boom.It was cool!like those firecrackers you see in malaysia.those cubes that you light and sparks fly vertically.
We then lit a few more lanterns here and there.One of which was accompanied by red candles haha!
spoooooky.
Then it was around 11plus so we went off!
Followed them to the bus stop and then went to 7 eleven to get a drink and noodles.
Went home showered real nicely and here i am.
Thats all the pictures i took,the rest are with melody!
I shake my hand too much sometimes.
Until then!
