Dinner under the stars...

Moonba festival starting from today... But where had the fireworks gone?

XinLing, ET and I brought a deck of cards, a blue groundsheet, a bottle of wine and some packets of chips, made our way to a shaded spot along Yarra River at 6pm. Well, Singaporean's way of life, Kiasu-ism. You want a good spot so you go early. The fireworks were expected at 9plus. But, after waiting for 4hours, there's still no fireworks. Only when we were leaving den did we decided to ask the security guards there and were told that there won't be any this year due to the Commonwealth games. Arggg..... But well, at least the place was dim enough for us to lie back and star gaze. Overall, it wasn't that bad as we were all relaxed. Just a bit disappointed but at least we enjoyed ourselves.

Fish were the theme this year. We choose to sit directly infront of Singapore to show our loyalty. Try to see our country on the right side of the fish.


When we are settled down and ready to start our game of 21, Old Maid, Heart Acttack, Bluff and UNO using just a deck of playing cards.


Lying on our blue groundsheet. Comfty...

Fang Min came after her church meeting at 7pm with our dinner, OPORTO burgers. Yummy!!

Erica trying to promote our bottle of pink Muscat. We went to South Yarra yesterday for dinner, passed by Vintage Cellers and bought 12 bottles of dessert wine, costing almost $300. They delivered it today and we brought one out to enjoy...

Drinking our Pink Muscat in plastic cups. Xinling decided to give it a miss as she said that her stomach wasn't well that day. She didn't lose out much as this bottle is nt tt nice.

After some wine with only 8.5% alcohol, we were slightly high. I turned pink.

The three of us lying down, star gazing interrupted.

A friendly passer-by initiated to take a photo for all of us. Finally, one that includes not only our big heads but also our body and background...

The fishes at night, with lights shining on them and from them. Some even have water fountain on them.. Our much awaited water-works...

I was tired but it was fun. A girls' nite out with good weather, wine and food, stars and ermm, fishes?? Overall, it was relaxing and fun. Slightly disappointing without the fireworks but still, it was nice.

Nighty!!
