Just Same As Usual: Taiping Lantern Festival

Last month, after I finish my recording assignment at Taiping Orphanage. I stayed awhile for the annual event held in Taiping Skating Ring

It was raining at first but weather break through in the end. So we stopped and have a visit.

It was so many people holding their lantern and children playing with candle.

It was so different from Penang, where they all play lantern and celebrate their lantern festival in the garden where in Penang we only celebrate outside our own house.

According to Bee, the spotlight in the garden which act as a more safe environment for patron to visit spoiled the mood. Because it should be off during the lantern festival so the lantern light will light out the whole area which will looks super duper nice!

Anyway, we had a fun time in the park!

Its been ages since I play an lantern. I end up buying some candle, lighter and small firework. =)

Before day turn to night, me, Bee and Hwen went to sing K. My voice make them laugh die them. Lol!

Using high ISO to boost the available light from the candle on their face.

The spotlight i mention above. It is super duper "BULB" for the event!
