my mid-autumn festival weekend!!

happy mid-autumn festival!! this is the 1st time i enjoyed so much as an adult from this festive.. last year, dear dear and me had a mooncake at holland village eski bar.. but this year, it is something different.. we had plan a mini-celebration with sista and ali family.. but ali family cant make it..

on friday night, we met up at east coast park to enjoy the cool sea breeze, to play with the lanterns and sparkles and enjoy mooncake.. it was so windy that day.. we had trouble lighting up the lanterns.. finally, dear dear managed to light up one and they played with the sparkles..

after an hour, we are still unable to light up the 1st lantern..

as usual, im the scardy cat.. i remembered i played sparkles when i was a child but i wonder why now that im all grown up i dont dare to play with it.. as you can see in the pictures, sista is so brave! she can take so many sparkles with one hand!! i only managed to hold the sparkles twice.. hee.. i could feel the heat! my hand is burning!!

sparkling night..

they were so pro! i think i am more comfortable in taking
pictures than playing with the sparkles..

sista brought along 2 very cute and very small battery operated lanterns!
by the way, that was the only lantern that was light up

thanks dear dear for accompanying us for this mini-celebration.. though the wind was so strong that you are unable to light up the lanterns.. but hope you had fun! thanks sista for coming despite the fact that you are the only one joining us and you had a cruise to catch next morning.. hope you did had enjoyed yourself.. i was glad that we were able to catch up and had fun at the same time..

on saturday, we went to the indoor stadium for mid-autumn evangelistic service by pastor mark.. it was great!! they sang a few hokkien songs and two that i enjoyed the most was, "ji ba ban" and "ai pia jia eh yia".. i always love "ji ba ban" eversince i heard willy sang in taiwan.. the lyrics is so funny.. it goes like this, if only i had a million dollars, i would fly to haiwaii for a sun-tan and to japan to eat sushi, to italy to eat spaghetti..

i was so touched by his sermon.. spoke about the worries of a man and woman.. and only Jesus is the solution.. he talked about his ah gong.. i will get the dvd when it is out.. very good!

saw alfred kor's mum also because they brought her along to the service.. she commented that me and b sis look very alike! it must be the dim lights that hides all my flaws that she thinks we look alike.. this is the 1st time someone say we looked alike! hee..

after the service, we sat at the waterfront to enjoy the complimentary mooncakes before heading to amk to meet dear dear friends for dinner..

we went to a coffeeshop where there is a botak jones stall.. according to his friends, their portions is quite big so we ordered a chicken sausage and a cajun chicken.. it was quite good.. one of his friend ordered a botak jones burger.. it seems quite different.. so the next time i go, i will order that!

ali family also joined us because they wanted to pass us something and since they havent had dinner, dear suggested them to join us.. ali ma sewed our names onto a towel.. so sweet!!

see the generous serving of the onions and fries.. but i dont eat onions!!

so sweet of ali ma..

we promised dear's brother on thursday to bring him to bishan park to play with lanterns on sunday.. so here we are.. see, how his brother and him enjoyed it.. his mum joined us also..

finally, thats the end of our weekend.. had fun though it was tiring.. but tomorrow is japan's holiday which means i do not have to work.. that is why i can stay up so late to blog.. hee.. but tomorrow i have to start on my market research tma 2.. mug again..

i love this picture best!
