Foyi celebrates Mooncake Festival

(That's me and a Kid with our Lanterns)

Yeah Yeah Pong Pong~~ Yeah Yeah Pong Pong~~ That's what I asked the children to shout when they were in the lantern procession last night organised by Foyi (Penang Buddhist Free School Ex-Pupils Association). There were not much people that actually know the traditional way that the kids would do during the latern procession. Of course, I'm one of them. I remember that when I was a kid in a Kampung, I saw a group of children, other than carried thier own lanterns, some of them were striking the empty MILO Tins with a stick. At the time, I was told that by doing this, it will actually help to keep the moon FULL and ROUND and also to prevent the dog of heaven from swallowing the moon during its eclipse. This is what I understand la~ Do correct me If I'm wrong :)

By the way, other than lantern procession, we've prepared a lot of interesting program to entertain the guests. I was the Organizing Chairperson that's why I was arranged to be seated in the first front row. Empty seats were reserved for the YBs but they were late that caused our event to dealy for at least half an hour :( I felt so sorry to the reportors that waiting us to start the ceremony. Paiseh~ After I've delivered my speech, it was my President's turn who clained that I talked too much after seeing my speech is longer than him. lol

After a few minutes we started the ceremony, YBs' representatives arrived. They were YB Jeff Ooi and YB Jagdeep Singh's Personal Assistant and YB Tan Sri Koh's Political Secretary. YB Jagdeep Singh also donated an YORK's Air Conditioner to our association with the witness of the guests present.

(We had Kara Kara Session, Dancing and Children's Costume Competition)

(Guess and Win)

That's all for the night as I do not have much infor to blog on this. Overall it was a great night to all who present in this celebration. Of course, my sincere thanks to those who had lending his/her helping hands in this celebration. Thank you very much~

Last but not least, enjoy your Mid Autumn Festival today with your loved one!
