  Last night's outing was pretty fun, wasn't it? The full moon was really yuan2 and liang4. And nope... no one recited poems!
  
  Bear's right... the lanterns are sooo funny!! You have dinosaurs moving their heads left and right, then there's this pre-recorded sound, 'Aaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwww!!!'.
  
  A lot of the 'lanterns' are sooo corny! It's more for the little kiddos! I thought there would be those traditional large lanterns from China, like they had for a few years, but the only things from China were the artisans, who were there selling their craft like dough figurines, rainbow calligraphy, and malt candies made on-the-spot to resemble creatures like dragons, butterflies, etc.
  
  We made a stop at the pagoda, which was closed because every floor had a colourfully-lit dragon encircling the entire corridor. We carried paper lanterns around and Bear kept talking about burning several sparklers at the same time to burn down the place!
  
  Overall, it was a pretty good experience. Anyways, none of us had gone to the Chinese Garden for such an event before in previous years, so now, at least we've done it once in our lifetime!
  
  Will put up the photos soon.

  Only two photos turned up well.
  
  
  
  
  
  Kenashi took a lot of photos with his digicam. Kenashi, maybe you'll post a few of them here for us to see?

  Wow.......cool.......I like the pic.
  
  Sounds like a wonderful evening.
  
  Wished I was there.
  
  Would love to see more pic, if any.
  
  Thanks for sharing, Rhonda.

  Those two pics shot by your hp aren't bad at all, Rhonda. The animals are cute.
• Rhonda

  Thanks, littlestream and Wanda!
  
  I took four photos and only two turned out well. 50% success / failure rate! I'm happy, though, that the two cutest photos are ok.
  
  I forgot to take photos of the peacock though. I feel like returning there again, this time, just to take photos!

  We ate a lot of mooncakes together!
  
  Bear brought along two gigantic Mui Lee mooncakes! He cut it into 1/8's but it was still jit dua deh! (one large piece in Hokkien)
  
  We also shared Kenashi's four mini snowskin mooncakes in various flavours. Then, DriftingGuy brought a nice Da Zhong Guo snowskin mooncake with egg yolk. Lau's mooncake was also devoured! Eh... how come no one ate my mooncakes??!!
  
  Anyways, Bear decided to give the remaining Mui Lee mooncake to me so I could share with the nurses at work. Thank you, Bear! I'll get a few phone no.s of the single, available, young, and chio nurses for you, ok? DriftingGuy also wanted to give me his remaining snowskin mooncakes, so sweet!
  
  Thank you, guys, for turning up last night! It was pretty fun, right?

  I can read the variety of mooncakes but still, it didn't sound like any of you ate much. Still, it is nice to read about your outing. So, what beverage did you guys have to go with the mooncakes?

  Assorted. We ended up going to a convenience store by the MRT Station and got our own drinks.
