Monitor lizard at Resort

I was relaxing and having fun at the National Service Resort and Country Club. Hubby and me had a shock when we saw something moving in the car park. From far, I thought it was a small alligator...hahaha

But it was a monitor lizard that was so fat and about 3 feet long. It came out of a drain hole from the side of the kerb. I was too afraid to go near to take a good shot of it. Not sure if it would attack me.

But I guess the monitor lizard was more fraid of human than we were of it. It quickly slittered back into the drain hole by the side of the kerb.

It's tail (circled in red) can still be seen at the side of the kerb. Wondered what other animals, like snakes, python, etc can emerged from the hole since the monitor lizard could squeeze itself out of the small hole.

My World Tuesday - Mid Autumn Festival - Food Fair

This is my final posting for mid autumn festival. Been late in posting these photos cause I was away for a few days at a resort in a corner of Singapore.

As usual , food is always a welcome sight at any festival celebration. At the mid autumn festival, there's a Taiwan food fair.

There's lot of queues in all the counters. The only thing I hated was that one need to queue to purchase the food vouchers and then queue again at the respective counter to purchase food with the vouchers. Cant they do away with the vouchers. Seems like the vouchers are in tens of dollars and if you purchase less than the amount stated in the vouchers, there were be no refund.

Hubby and me ended up having dinner in a cozy corner cafe called STREET in Liang Court Mall. And the price at the cafe is so reasonable and the food good and there's no queues.

Queues to purchase food vouchers.

Candid shots of food vendors and customers.

Hahaha this food vendor is funny, he saw me taking photos and he called to me in mandarin and said "Take my photo! Take my photo!", so I obliged his request...lol.

Mid Autumn Festival - Performance

There's also performances from china as part of the mid autumn festival.

It was so crowded there and trying to get a good spot to take photos of the performance is difficult. I love the costumes and headdress of the performers.

Love the way the shadows in the background casted by the dancers.

Mid Autumn Festival - Lanterns at night

Soon it became dark as we strolled along the Singapore River. It's the time where all the lanterns and decorations were lighted. It was so beautiful.

It was so crowded but you dont see the crowds in my photos...lol. I will post photos of the crowd in coming posts.
