You know, we, consist of myself, Michelle, Amy Chin, Ah Chee, Ian, Kah Joon, Sue Sin, Carmen, Shan and her friends, went to a lake park in Taman Jaya to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

So what’s Lantern Festival? It’s also known as Mooncake Festival, or rather more formal; Mid Autumn Festival. I’ve just glanced through some websites about this occasion and I found there’s so many variations of story! No wonder there’s so many people telling all sorts of stories. Oh boy, which is the exact one? We even discussed it last night and Carmen came up with the story that I knew too. It was about a message which had been put into the mooncake to deliver to some prisoner? Errh, I don’t really remember it though. Haha. Well, internet helps in this case

Anyway, we found a good spot to sit and also to hang the candles on the closest trees. And you know what? There were so many groups of people there, sitting in their respective groups with their own lantern-decorating creativity. Yea, mostly chi-eds! Haha, I’m not discriminating but it’s a traditional thing, and no, it’s not religious. So what I meant was that mostly Chinese will celebrate this festival. The small ones will just get the lanterns and candles from their parents and start to play them like nobody’s business. Haha.

The best thing was; we had lotsa fun lighting the candles, hanging the lanterns, and chit-chatting. And Carmen brought some mooncakes, two actually, one of it was home-made. Taste good. Sue Sin and Amy Chin went back early, I think they were bore to death! Haha. I guess they’re tired and needed to rest. And so, the rest of us sat there until 12am. If I don’t have to be home before 1am, I think we’ll stayed up even later.

Here’s some pictures.

Yeah that’s all. Chiaoz
