Singapore Lantern Festival 2010
Hey Hey, been wanting to blog something about the Lantern Festival happening soon. About 2 weeks back, I was walking along Pagoda Street around midnight and saw a bunch of workers setting up lanterns all over Chinatown. Quite a sight, really nice and peaceful to be able to admire the colours and serenity. :)
