Time : 1:00:00 am Title : 放天灯 20.01.12 its a Friday night and that was the night we released Sky lanterns aka wish lanterns/kong ming lanterns into the heavens.
First up, dinner with cherry at AMK Hub then ice cream before heading down to Punggol..    The prata we like to eat :)   we travelled down to Hougang Interchange to take train to Punggol, in an open field where we could set off the lantern easily with no high obstacles nearby. To reduce fire hazards, its best to fly in an open field, nowhere near the airport and best to face the sea (etc east coast park beach). 
I love this shot! We were writing on the lanterns in Chinese, definitely :))
 Lighting it up   
Yeah!
 
Pretty scene in the night sky!
:)
Realised, such pics taken at night look better without flash..
This looks like filming some drama. Nice right! My good shots :P
I love the shots in this post, particularly some like the last few. :)
The sky lantern culture is not popular in Singapore yet, more popular in Taiwan and China and spreading to other countries. If you want to re-enact childhood scenarios and make wishes, you could try sky lanterns.. for fun. As a chinese way of wishing. A culture. Its quite easy to find them in Chinatown, like Temple Street. But in Sg, the lanterns usually only have multiple colours to choose from except white, because.. we arent as traditional as Taiwan etc. White seems nicer. Instructions are stated on the packaging and its quite simple.. Apparently, it seems a better idea to use Chinese calligraphy ink brushes then zebra fine markers to write on the paper lanterns. Shall wait for round 2! On a happy note also, we, the three sisters, formed an Angry Birds Family several days ago. Angry Birds really suit us. We can be temperental, crazy and fierce but at the end of the day we are still one close lovely family. == I will update soon! Labels: reunion, Sky lanterns |
