Mid autumn festival

Ok, very late but this has always been one of my fave time of the year - what's not to like when you have yummy mooncakes and nice lanterns?

We signed up for a celebration event by the CC. At only $2 per person, it provided gift packs, snacks and games to keep everyone happy!

We arrived quite early and the snacks were not ready yet so we started with the games. Every game came with snacks which the kids were very happy with. We grabbed the gift packs soon after coz they came with a bag that could hold all the snacks!

Snakes and ladders

Hopscotch

Tic tac toe

We queued quite a bit for muah chee, cotton candy and ice cream. It was relatively easy to grab the hotdog buns and drinks. We went home with lots of yummy stuff! Obviously we didn't watch the shows or participate in the riddles coz we were busy queueing for snacks :p

Cute lanterns lighted our way home :)

This year, the actual day fell on a Friday. We left the kids to watch TV on their regular movie night and left for our date night with a little lantern lighting our way haha! Just nice coz the pathway to HV was changed in the day and we had to walk through a walled path which was kind of dark...

Fries, souffle and coffee at Hoshino

Went to check out the development of the new mall and found the big round moon!

Two days later, Yang suggested exploring the house with the lanterns :)

This year, we didn't eat much mooncakes. We went to the mooncake fair at Taka but bought only one round to snack - 吃爽的 :p - and a box for gifting. Let's stay slim and healthy ya? :p But I have been thinking of making mooncakes for some years (!) now. Maybe next year I should start thinking about this earlier and plan for it!
