Lantern Fun

Yesterday after lunch in the office, I purposely went out to a shop nearby to buy some paper lanterns and candles. I decided to hang them at home for Bb-G. As usual after work I fetched her home from nanny’s house. Surprisingly nanny’s daughter was hanging some paper lanterns too! She also did that for her son (and Bb-G), but too bad she told me both babies never bother her at all. They don’t know how to appreciate and “xing shang” such beautiful scenery…hahaha

Papa-M reached home early too. So together with my brother, we went for a vegetarian dinner. Now, during 1st and 15th of lunar months, I practise full vegetarian, if possible or situation permits. We went to a restaurant nearby our house. First time to this place too. There were lots of people when we reached. Only left one or two tables available. We ordered rice, compliment with 4 dishes , the spinach soup, lohan zai(mix vege), assam fish slice and fried goose.




All the dishes were good and tasty, not too salty either. Just perfect and suit our taste.

Back home after dinner, Papa-M and me were eager to start our “lantern party”. At first I didn’t have any idea how to hang them, so Papa-M took out some chopsticks (those given by hawkers when we pack food) and “kiap” with clothes pegs.

I lit up the candle, he did the hanging. Then, we turned off the lights and asked Bb-G to look, she did her OOOOoooo mouth again. She wanted to touch the lanterns too..

We bought one battery operated type lantern for her last week. So she carried her Doraemon and walked around the house....
