Lighting lanterns in the park.

7pm-8pm:
Pinky, Jubes and Sheree were off to Chinatown to meet Shilynn, Xiuwen and Joy. Woohoo! It’s Mid Autumn Festival aredi! Xiuwen brought us to the corner of Exhibition St and Lit Bourke's Oriental restaurant which sold quite yummy food. We all have milk tea to celebrate this joyous occasion and after a good toasting of GanBeis around the table, we put the milk tea to our mouths and all of us went…..YUKS!!! hahaha..there was no sugar in the milk tea! Usually over here, they will add for us. So all of us grabbed for the sugar! Jubes could just pour the whole canister in...she is such a sweet tooth!

The menu totally had too many dishes to choose from and most of us took quite some time to figure out wat to eat! After Xiuwens persistent recommendation, Sheree and Joy both ordered the same thing: Triple layer Pork with Preserved Veggies. Not bad!!!

8pm-10pm:
YAK YAK YAK the hot topic was non other then Mr "Hen".

1030pm:
the restaurant was too cold to bear. All of us were huddling the hot cups of water in our hands. We paid the bill and left for Pinkys place to get the lighter. When we reached there, "oohhh...aaahhhh" the comforts of warmth and the girls little room! haha. and most of us had a TimTam Truffle except Shilynn who was still recovering from a bad flu, and xiuwen who couldnt stomach another thing after her triple layer pork.

11pm:
Alfredo Gelati!!! Muahahaha... flavours of roche, toblerone and baileys and rum and raisins! Sinfully delightful!

1145pm:
We are finally off to the park to light our lanterns! Y I P P E E !!!

12mn!
Happy Mid Autumn Festival GALS!!!
What prove to be childs play…turned out to be a mean feat for all of us! We had all the necessary equipments… the lanterns, candles from Coles, lighter….what could possibly go wrong? Firstly, it started to drizzle!!! The weather was superbly cold, the moon was covered by the clouds!!! And finally it was so tough to light the lighter cos all our fingers were so numb with cold!!! And the lanterns could last us more than 15mins walk cos it was so small and we had to light a new one so often!

Shilynn was so numb with cold that after the festival ended, we went back then she realized that she had burnt her finger! ALAMAK.
But all in all, we had lotsa laughters and cramped knees, awful squats under a tree, candid photoshots, swearing at the wind for blowing our candles off! And loads of Merry Making!!!
