Mid-Autumn Festival

Mooncakes, checked. Snowskin mooncakes, checked. Pomelo, checked. Lanterns, ahh!!? Where are they? Thank goodness, we managed to get 2 at the supermarket. What's Mid-autumn festival without burning some paper lanterns. Haha...

Our plan was to go the the park to join her friends for some fun, I even got some sparklers. But the lousy weather, horrible heavy rain thwart the plan so we spent the evening on the roof terrace. Then the celebration was cut short when Chloe tripped and cut her lip on the flower pot, a little tiny cut.

A very excited Chloe waiting for Simon to light up her ducky lantern. She did not know what was the occasion but she is definitely very happy that she get to stay up way past her bed time. (I know, my sorry looking palm tree or what was left of it. Compared to my neighbor's lush green leafy garden, the dried up 'stick' there looks pathetic.)

'Quick! How long more, will you please hurry up.'
Chloe is now jumping and hopping impatiently, only a minute but like a decade to her.

Finally, her ducky lantern is in her hand. Yeah!

Lights! Yes, it's a candle, like the one on your birthday cake.
