Went to the Lantern Festival 2008 @ Chinese Garden with our friends Akiko and Chris. Met Akiko when i was studying in Arizona State in 1999. She is in Singapore for 3mths for training and Chris, her hubby is here for a holiday.
First time going to the Lantern Festival and it's quite pretty. The lights and the big lanterns and most of all, i think the theme played a part. Cutey Sanrio cartoons, Hello Kitty, My Melody, Badz Maru and Keropi.
These are Japanese Cartoons that I grew up with. I remember being obsessed with buying their pencils, notebooks, hankies and etc in Primary school and this obsession actually continued on in my early 20s. There is this Sanrio store in Arizona Mills mall (phoenix) that is constantly on sale!!! You would definitely catch me there atleast once a month to check out the sale items and also lugging my purchases home. Was so tempted to buy the hello kitty radio, luggage bags, telephone and even a toast maker!!!
I still like these cartoons very much but have grown out of buying them. Good to admire but a waste of money to buy them. With 3 kids now, got to save for their future and I'm sure the kids will definitely have the chance to use my collection of Sanrio stationeries.
This is a first family outing for us since I delivered. Miss having such outings and hope that we'll have more to come. Although I wish that we could have brought the twins along but i guess it'll be more stressful than fun. Can't wait till they grow a little older so that we can enjoy outings as a "whiole" family.
