Mid-Autumn 2013 Celebration

Mid-Autumn was celebrated on Saturday 28 September, 2013....9 days after the actual mid autumn festival that fell on 19 September, 2013.

In the Malaysian spirit, we extended our celebrations. So, even though we may be 'late', it's the spirit of the celebration that counts!

The turnout for this year was smaller but it was still an enjoyable time for all those who turned up.

We started with singing a few songs in Bahasa, Chinese and English.

We had a hilarious time listening to the audience tell their version of the story behind moon cakes.

Instead of the usual pomelo-cutting competition, this year we had the fastest 'cut and eat grapefruit' competition. Well...it's still a citrus fruit, albeit more sour  ;P

Then we had the fastest 'drink 600ml. bottle of water with a straw' competition.

The kids had a game of musical chairs.

We were then entertained to a guzheng repertoire.

After prizes and gifts were given, we had some light refreshments and the children had a fun time going for the LANTERN  WALK. 

Others stayed behind to sing and dance to the karaoke songs.
