and we went back haha

IT GOT INSANELY CROWDED and we had such a hard time maneouvering through the crowds LOL

Untitled Untitled
We quickly found a spot on the grass and sat down to wait for the lantern parade + fireworks

Untitled
thank God I wore jeans LOL because unlike everybody else... we didn't bring a mat HAHA

Untitled Untitled UntitledUntitled
Waiting till the sky got dark and it became really really really really cold again :( even though it was like sweltering hot 2 hours ago

Untitled UntitledUntitled
We were seated on the ground for about 2 hours before it got REALLY cold and crowded LOL. There were designated seating areas that are marked by a white strip of paint on the ground, and we thought we got very good seats cause we sat at the edge of the white strip... which basically nobody was sitting in front of us to block us from the view LOL. But at around 7pm people started not caring and sitting in front of us anyway :( even though it was not a seating area :(

Plus it got really cold and we realized we couldn't even see the lantern festival from where we were seated??? So we gave up and left before the fireworks started... not that I'm complaining because it was pretty damn cold HAHA.

Untitled
see it got really crowded at night???????

Untitled
We did manage to see the lanterns (those lighted things) as we were leaving though so at least our wait wasn't entirely wasted HAHA

UntitledUntitled Untitled
Dabao-ed indian curry and garlic naan back from Jetty Rd cause we were all craving for curry LOL
