Lantern parade


Long weekends are so awesome. Usually Sunday nights are pretty depressing & we don't fancy late nights out. But not when the next day is a public holiday!

There was a lantern parade at Merlion Park that mommy chanced upon online so we decided to check it out. First, we had to figure out where the Merlion Park was. Turned out to be the area at One Fullerton where the Merlion was. Ok, not too hard to figure.

We parked at Esplanade & the walk across the bridge to One Fullerton was quite enjoyable, with the breathtaking view of MBS, Fullerton Hotel and the CBD area. Nice.



Got there & immediately saw the crowd with all their self made lanterns. There was a lantern making booth!

But, you know what??? Wayne didn't fancy the lanterns! :(

Because of the Merlion! He was afraid of the water spitting Merlion. Despite explaining to him that there was nothing to be afraid of, he was still scared & so didn't really enjoy the whole event, including the lanterns. So we left shortly to try out the food at Gluttons Bay at Esplanade, which was only decent at its best.

Lots of people at the Merlion Park

Sigh, maybe next year we can try again.
