Lets go for Picnic

Chinese Garden

we went here about last year? oh my Gosh time has been running so fast. that was lantern festival held in here Chinese Garden, in Chinese Garden MRT. right next to MRT station. i remembered that time, we planned to have picnic there. i already prepared all cute lunch box..heheheh...
with all my proud i represent this cute lunch boxes..hihihii
cute panda and burger :D. inspired by cute lunch boxes from Japan.
it was very easy to make but don't forget to use Sushi rice, it will construct the pandas better...
when we arrived there with all our guns, then this garden usually open for free, but due to Lantern Festival, we need to pay 15SGD per person and the festival will start at 6pm! o GOSH this just only 11 am!
but then we decided, because we have gone there and didn't want go for nothing. the garden was combination of Chinese and Japanese garden. have a big lake in the middle. all the garden are man made like in Chinese landscape architecture. we chose 1 pavilion near the lake, and had our lunch there. spent the rest of the day to wait until 6 pm with just walking around and taking pictures. they have a replica of Chinese temple and house, cute man made garden, bridge, waterfall. AGAIN ALL CLEAN and even the grass is neat enough so you can lay down there.
that day was very HOT, we almost have walked around the garden, and that day I remember i was terribly thirsty, but cannot find any drink machine, and the food stall hasn't open yet.
when it 6 pm, the festival started, they turn on all the light. the have a lot of lanterns of Hello Kitty and friends theme. i wondering why they chose that theme. so like you can see all the lanterns were hello kitty, or kerokeropi, reminds me my childhood.
the lanterns were a LOT and cute. some they put together made a KINGDOM OF KITTY *sounds scary*, some they put on the lake and river. a lot of merchandise and food stall there, off course selling traditional Chinese food. i insisted him to buy me this cutie doggie balloon, :D Does it cute! :D for 8SGD...
at 10 pm they have fireworks and barongsai. for the first time i saw the fireworks so near. a lot of family went there with their children. i thinks one of place in Singapore you can visit. even though not many attraction there but more to picnic activities or outing.
