gathering for mid autmun festival

we had a little gathering at a friend's house for mid autmun festival for the kids. kids get to carry their lantern and walk round the neighbourhood while mommies get to catch up a bit. 

 

having such fuss free, anyone can make it come gathering is great. there is no need for major organisation and logistic to work with. its not easy for big group gathering as the kids grow up. everyone is busy with their own enrichment classes or activities. 

 

thank you, cynthia for initaiting this gathering. we meet up at her place. have a little catching up, setting up the lanterns and headed down for the lantern walk. 



small gathering

there is a small breeze which make lighting up the candle a challenge but we still manage it. the kids have fun running around, walking around carrying their lantern. experience how lantern get burnt by the candle. looking at others playing the fire sparkles. 

 

as cynthia's youngest son (around 1 year old), can't really join in the fun with the kids, he sit around with us. darling play with him and carried him. yu xi saw it and started crying very loudly. we were shocked by her cries. papa cannot bao bao baby, she said. insist darling put the baby down and carry her. darling had no choice but to put the baby down and carry her. all of us laughed at her reaction and say she is a jealous pot.

yu ze's room

yu xi's room

we got yu ze a new bed, yu xi a bookshelves and a set of table and chair for both from ikea. yu xi is upgraded to yu ze's toddler bed. she is no longer confined to her cot. hopefully, she won’t wake up and start climbing up our bed in the middle of the night and be a PR in our room.

which is a better route?

i take over the car and started sending them to school and myself to work. from yio chu kang road to marine parade can be a long distance. which way is cheap and good? 

 

route a - 26 km (25 mins)
yio chu kang road => cte (sle) => tpe => kpe => ecp => marine parade

route b - 17 km + $2 erp (18 mins)
yio chu kang road => cte (town) => pie => eunos => still road => marine parade

route c - 15.6 km + $2 erp (23 mins)
yio chu kang road => cte (town) => pie => kpe => ecp => marine parade

have discuss with darling, my boss and shared with friends. we had come to a conclusion that route a should be a better option. with route a, i would have travel on all the expressway daily. 

 

there is only 1 way to go to fetch them, kpe, pie, cte, yio chu kang road.
