Of lanterns and mooncakes :D

A few weeks ago, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Think: lanterns, candles, mooncakes. Hmmm it was a reaaallllyyy long time ago since I played with candles and lanterns. I remember my primary school having this mid-autumn party where I would just meet up with old friends while having fun with candles.

Ahhh old memories. :')

Since my secondary school days, this year was finally one to catch up with memories :) I went to the Bandar Kinrara Chinese Methodist Church's party, and that was also where I met up with long-lost friends Michele and Breena. HOMAIGOSH especially Breena! Haven't seen her since Form 1! :')

We went parading around the shoplots with paper lanterns. It was so fun!

Then 2 days later, I had the opportunity to go out and play with lanterns again :D Sigh I'm young at heart :) Little Isaac - the boy whom I tutor who is also my neighbour - suddenly turned up at my house while I was having dinner, with lanterns and all, desperately calling me to go outside.

So off I went. Very happily :D

My mom and Isaac's kakak lighting up the lanterns in my garden. His lantern is the battery-operated type. That kind of lantern not fun at all leh seriously.



The three of us lol. The biggie sister :')



Mom trying to hang the lantern on the tree branch.. but to no avail :( It'll be nice if the lanterns can be hung up. Ahh so magical :P









Random placing of candles. I actually wanted to do a heart... or something nice. But with kids, it's hard to get your way.





After we got back, Isaac's mom was kind enough to invite us to go over for some treats :) I like the pandan mooncake!



And then Isaac brought out his Angry Bird playset. OMG that little guy is darn freaking crazy about Angry Birds, I dunno why :/ I'm tired of seeing them everywhere =.=



But I gotta admit, the catapult thing is kinda cute. It actually emits the exact bird song in the virtual game when you place a bird on it. Haha!



Out of a sudden, the adults got excited talking about a lost chicken out on the streets. They decided to let it in. (But they let it go afterwards) Oh wow it's a kampung chicken! I've never seen one before!



We were so curious, we spent the whole night (okay, exaggerating a little) watching the chicken's amusing antics. Like trying to climb on to a pail but falling into it.

Yeap, our attention were all on the chicken, instead of on the moon.

Isaac and Ah Kang, the two mischievous boys, were doing all sorts of things on the poor candles.



Like, "Oh yeah, let's burn the middle part of the candle!"

Busy at work...





They built a mini campfire...



...which was cool but then the wax was so, so thick and it became a long trail. Which was not cool.



The end result.



Now, I'm looking forward to next year's Mid-Autumn Festival - hopefully celebrating it with more friends :D
