the first time ever i've stepped foot in chinese garden for the mooncake fest... eight dollars per adult... though i get it for free... cause kids below 3 is for free... muahaha....

the decor is roughly similar... something tt u would expect.... as we went on the eve, there was quite a bit of a crowd, esp near the entrance area where many stalls were set up...the kids at the bottom right corner of the pic even asked their mum whether they should look in my camera... ha... kids...



even though the lanterns are from an enginner's point of view, fabric and steel structures with light bulbs installed inside them......, i muz say they were quite a fascinating watch...



and wat's an outing when u dun end with self-taken photos??



qiqi's birthday party took place at THE SMALLEST restaurant that i've ever dined in...and it goes by the name we all mistook for portebello, the mushroom. i've not yet get the name right... cause i forgot liao... haha... well, it shalled be called portebello... ha...

many princesses and princes were there. realli should have taken a group photo... cause the gers were decked out in full gear princess wear...

some before party action.....



the restaurant is small no doubt but the service was good... for one thing, my glass of iced tap water was constantly filled up. or isit because the place is small.. haha...then.. mid-way through dinner, the restaurant had a black-out... very interesting... cause now we finally know.. ppl like me, karen and xinxin are able to continue eating in the dark... with a small candle light of course...when the power finally came on, with the restaurant owner sweating like mad, we continued with the party. this time, without air-con.



nxt up was ktv time... with only the presence of mi, qiqi, gan, ang, ting and yusheng.. the couple went off in the middle of the session though... we could all SEE yusheng was VERY SLEEPY... hahahaha......

we all sang till 2-3 am at k box and then we were asked to leave. didnt know now we couldnt stay as long as we like till the next group of ppl comes in... so quite sianz...

took 174M home and finally snuggled in at 5am...

birthday partys are a love and hate affair... haha....

nevertheless........ HAPPI B'DAY QIQI!!!!!!! hope u can find THE BF soon!!!

nxt time...
