mid-autumn festival celebration

as mid-autumn festival is somewhere around next week, a group of us within the office decided to organize a pre-festival celebration over the weekend, complete with lanterns and sparklers.

venue: chinese garden, jurong

it so happened that this weekend train services between bukit batok and jurong east were disrupted, and so getting to chinese garden took longer than usual for those affected by the disruption.

we were in a group of around 10, and we had a pretty enjoyable night mingling around and talking to each other.  i haven't played with a lantern since like maybe after i turned 12, and here i am, some 10 odd years later, holding one with a bunch of good colleagues, a good reminiscence of my younger days. omg. i sounded so old!



after we exhausted the candles for our lanterns, we focused our attention on the sparklers instead.  i think everyone had a great time, and we discovered that one of our colleagues had pyrophobia! it was fun and i got to practice my amateur video-shooting skills and testing out my camera's video capabilities at the same time.

in summary i would say the outing was good and relaxing - simple group dynamics, nothing complicated, nothing fishy this time round.

at the end of it all, we headed towards orchard for our dinner around 11 plus =p.
