Multi-racial Festival

Before today I'd been expecting to join the Moon festival celebrations somewhere in Singapore. I was thinking Clarke Quay and China Town. But.. I kind of forgot. Sadly..

I did go out tonight. I went to Orchard Road to take a look at one shopping mall that my mom and sister recommended to look for some things. Anyway it took me a while to find it though. It's not the building that's so small or anything like that. The building is huge! but the problem is Orchard road is quite huge as well and it was dark and crowded so I was like led by the confusion of where I was at exactly. I'm not saying I was lost although I did go around the same place twice just looking for the shopping mall.

Well then I managed to come home not so late. To go to Orchard road from home takes one hour so in total go and return it's 2 hours. When I got home I just realized we had a dinner party for the Moon festival held by the other housemates with their other friends. I was quite late joining the dinner but I was pretty welcome. I missed the meal. But actually it was quite a good thing I missed the meal because they had pork and I don't eat pork. So instead I just had longan and papaya. To be honest the 'party' was quite boring. It wasn't the people. They seemed pretty nice. It's just that they kept talking in Chinese. I do wish I knew Chinese so I could have been able to join their conversation during the dinner party earlier. But I tried making myself comfortable as much as I could. Well I couldn't help it though so I decided to get out of the group and house and went to a small festival just across the apartment. I thought it was going to be a Moon festival but it wasn't. It was called Multi-racial festival... even though most of the people were all Chinese.

It wasn't so bad though. The most noticable thing about the festival was people burning candles and small fireworks. They also had a stage where they sang and gave away some door prizes. I did take some pictures. Enjoy!
