Next month is the time where we'll be eating mooncakes and kids will be running around with their lanterns! Let's celebrate together this year! Let's make a trip down to the Chinese Garden where they'll have their Lantern displays, and then have a picnic, eating mooncakes and drinking tea! Wink

Akan datang... so watch out for details! Wink

Hmm... shall we have a theme? Like everyone must dress up in red or something? Razz

Rhonda SG

OK, the Lantern Display at the Chinese Garden is on from 1-25 Sept. So, the festival is one day during that period! Laughing

DeadPoet SG

Heehee. Go pub I am not that keen. But go makan mooncake should be okay.

Dress in red? Cannot lah. I will look like a walking red packet. Laughing

Wanda SG

Is it also the same time for the singles to throw oranges into the sea or something? The single men are supposed to pick up the oranges thrown in by the single ladies or something. Don't know what the day is called, but it's something like that. Razz Embarassed
