Part A : Dragon Boat Festival

Walking while watching in awe the number of people gathered around the Bedok reservoir. The normally nearly isolated reservoir (except for people who exercise in there) was crowded. People gather everywhere, opting for a spot to watch the race. As the other people , my family went to a vacant bench and sat down . Needless to say it , it was hard to even find an empty spot , let alone a bench , I was lucky.
Sitting on the warm concrete bench, my family and I looked onto the people rowing the flashy dragon boats, all the time while eating mouth-watering rice dumplings. The rice dumplings have a slight sweet scent. It definitely looked appetizing. It was a tradition to consume rice dumplings during dragon boat festival.
The rhythmic sounds of the drums coordinated the rowing action of the rowers. A team did not stay in the first place for long; competitors will overtake the winning team in a moment, without hesitation. The competition is intense, but one team managed to stay ahead of the others and won the race with hardly any seconds to spare.
Nothing last forever, the race eventually ended, my family and I took one last glance at the reservoir before making our way home.
Today was fun-filled, exhilarating and unforgettable. It will be etched in my mind, and that day is the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar, also known as Dragon Boat Festival.
