中秋节 aka Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival

It was the first time that my papa and mama brought me to Chinese Garden to see the lanterns.
After taking my dinner (my parents had their dinner), we proceed to the Chinese Garden, armed with camera and reached around 730pm.

Just after my papa had bought the tickets, when he wanted to take a picture of me and mama at the entrance, guess what.. papa told us that the camera batteries went flat!!!
Mama was quite upset about herself for not checking the battery status before she placed the camera in my diaper bag. Papa said we would "hunt" for the batteries if we happened to find any stall that sells.

Since we we had already bought the tickets, so we proceed to the Chinese Garden. Even though it was the 2nd last day of the lanterns display, still the place was crowded with people.

Initially, my parents let me walk on my own, but seeing that I was running very fast instead of walking slowly, they put me back onto my stroller.. aiyo... my mama was so scare that I get knocked by people or coming stroller..

After an hour of walking and sight-seeing, we did not see any stall that was selling batteries... so mama decided to try her luck, she asked one of the stall vendors whether her stall sell batteries. Her stall (selling those lanterns and barangs) did sell batteries, but she was selling 4AAs batteries for $3.00, and those are just normal (no brand batteries)! Anyway, papa bought it, "no fish prawn also good" :p. At least we took some pictures, but most of the pictures I did not focus at the camera and I keep yawning away. My mama was wondering, how come I still feel so tired even though I had my afternoon nap (3 hours) before I went to Chinese Garden. But mama:" please note that by the time we finished our so call "touring" the Chinese Garden, the time was already 9.30pm". It has passed my zzz-ing time already ah (my usual sleeping time was 9pm lastest), of course I was yawning and look tired lor." Hehe But, I did enjoy myself, thanks papa and mama. :)
