We had a slice of cake at the ever famous Greco @ Crown..i had Blackforest and Chin huay had mango..it was nice..yummy rite..haha..ppl actually queue up for this...sometimes the queues can be really long..
theres a special performance for Chinese New Year..ppl are sitting on the stairs to watch it..its nice..see that dragon..its really nice..it changes colour at different time..together with music as well..
the lantern moves up and down together with the music..it was really nice..it reminds me of Harry Potter where the stairs changes its direction..so cool..the lighting was fantastic..really nice feel...
theres something hidden in each and every big lantern..one of it is this..isnt this nice..its so lovely..now i cant wait for lantern festival..haha..
