Lantern Carnival 2006

It was during the school holidays my brother, Tuck with his family (wife and 3 kids) came to visit me. Decided to take them to the Lantern Carnival in Bukit Jalil. Entrance fee is RM5 per person and children under 5 is free. Time of entry is from 3 p.m. and ends at 12 midnite.

RM5 is not expensive with so many lanterns to survey but once u are inside, there's where the spending comes in. There are so many stalls - food, games, toys, clothes, drinks, souvenirs, ice-cream, etc. There are even train rides – RM2 per person for each ride. Bringing kids to such places means u have to spend!

The Asian Cultural Lantern Carnival 2006

The "Wang Wai" (powerful) looking Dragon. It's very long and it's amazing dat it was constructed of porcelain (not melamine or plastic) plates and spoons. Wonder what will happen if one of the strings broke? Pling plang, pling plang lor. Dat was what Pappy said (heehee). I examined and it was very well secured with lots of strings.

The Kuan Yin with a thousand hands. At a certain time, water will be sprouted out from the front 2 hands. Visitors who wish to be 'blessed' will wet themselves in front of the statue. Pappy asked me to get 'blessed' but I said 'Siao ar? How do I know what water they are spraying'.

Another entrance. So colourful hor?

A walkway with hundreds (thousands) bulbs.

Notice anything's wrong with Destinee?

Haiya ... yalor ... can shake hands with Wien (Jess's elder princess) liao. I didn't even notice until she said she was tired and wanted me to carry and one of her slippers dropped. Eiks! 1 'kung' and 1 'na' (1 male and 1 female – different). Guess we were in a hurry to go out and she simply slipped her feet into the slippers cos both were pink in colour and of the same size. When I asked her, she said "Never mind mommy, no one will notice". *slap head*
