Not feeling quite right today, guess the overdose of bbq food is upsetting my stomach. Since yesterday morning, I have been visiting the toilet frequently. I hate LS! KNS. P went out to get some congee and medicine for me in the noon and I just had them. Hopefully, the pain and LS feeling will go away soon. =(
It was Loy Krathrong over the weeekend and celebration started on friday. We had some friends over for dinner and we went to grab some food to prepare for the bbq at night. On our way to the market, we saw this lantern making competition where participants are to made mega-sized lanterns.
First contestant that we saw never got to flew his mega lantern cos it was burnt!
The flying bee that crashed into the river:
Some photos of us having bbq dinner with our friends at the back of the house. We took part in the noise contribution and bought quite some fireworks. Some people were already floating their Krathrongs and we saw this decorated boat sailing in the river.
On saturday night was family dinner and my FIL invited his workers back for dinner. We floated our Krathrongs and continued playing with fireworks. It was non-stop playing and eating. It was amazing how I didnt really felt out of place with the existence of language barrier. Maybe I was too fascinated with the on-going events and consumption of the yummy food had kept me occupied.
Last night was supposedly the last night of celebration. We had our last round of fireworks with the kids and tried to light some spectacular stuff but the path was filled with too many people. The fireworks failed to shoot into the sky and kindda exploded. And because the kids were around, we sorta decided to call it off since it might be dangerous. P and I went to take a walk behind the house. It was so crowded. People were just everywhere. =.='' Frankly, there wasnt much to watch except for the fireworks. There was some kind of carnival going on. Saw this 2-storey high ferris wheel that looked rather funny for its dwarf size. It never failed to provide entertainment for the kids though. We finally got our chance to light our cool fireworks when we got back at night and the kids were already sleeping.
The sky was filled with these floating lanterns that people were releasing throughout the night.
Vid of P and I and our last spectacular fireworks:
The way festivals are celebrated here is rather amazing. Cant really find the right words to describe my feeling but I felt like I was brought back to time. Maybe Singapore was like that in the 1960s. The festive ambience was created by the people, not so much by the environment. On the contrary, the festive ambience in modern Singapore is much heightened by the environment and the decorated streets.
