Friday, 14 September 2007 On medical leave since Wednesday and in fact, still on medical leave today but got to go back office as Boss is leaving for New York tomorrow.
Casual and grouchy. Fancy going back to work when on Medical Leave! And it's a Friday!
Was in office for half a day before going to Chinatown 长城 for Frog Porridge with Roy. Thought it was not so nice. Should have gone Geylang. Anyway, we decided to stroll around Chinatown after dinner and happened to catch some Japanese Lantern Lighting Ceremony at 7.30pm. Location was at an open space behind this really big temple.
This is the temple.
It was supposed to start at 7.30pm but we waited till 7.50pm. The ceremony started with music from drums and flutes then a group of men pushed up the panel of lanterns, with lighted candles in the lanterns! After that, each guy will take turns to hold the pole which carries the flag of lanterns. The excitement came when each guy keep increasing the pole length when he took over. We can actually see the two flags of lanterns getting higher and higher! Cool eh? :)
Japanese Lantern Lighting Ceremony.
After this, we went for some Lantern Exhibition which is held around there. $3 for entrance fee since it is a weekday. Well, I am putting up the pictures but really, if any of you is considering going, please don't. Even though it is a mere $3, it is so-not-worth the price!
Was greeted by the fiery Phoenix as we started from clockwise.
Mosque is next.
Angkor Watt. Hmm, they may be featuring the 7 wonders...
Some Pagoda. Can't remember the name!
Some lanterns featured on the ground.
Astronaut flying to the moon.
Another mosque.
Some temple or shrine.
Magnificent Dragon. On the other end directly opposite the Phoenix.
Hmm, now I am yearning to go Chinese Garden to see the lovely lanterns since those I saw earlier were not so great! *SULK*
