My First Mid-Autumn Festival

We celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival last Saturday with Saanvi's parents, starting off with mooncakes with Japanese green tea at our place. Then we went off to the poolside with the girls to lit up their lanterns. It was already crowded with kids and everybody's spirits were so high. The girls too were happy, they have never gone down to the poolside at half past eight at night and the place look different with so many lanterns around.

I wish I could say we had a ball of a time, the girls were so fascinated and careful with their lanterns and we adults had a good romantic walk around the area.

Unfortunately, it did NOT happen the way it was planned at all. By the time we lilted up their lanterns, the girls were nowhere to be seen. They were running and walking all over the place. Ok, maybe they have not seen their beautiful nemo lanterns, so we showed them the fish. 5 seconds. That was it! That was how LONG they looked at their fish. And off they went again.

VVRROOMM! VVVRRROOOMMM! VVVVRRRROOOOMMMM!

I was so disappointed but got to admit they were probably too young to appreciate such things.

Now, Sofia only knows how to "eat" the fish ...

and sayang the fish ...

Well, guess nemo would have to sit in the store for while, we shall try again next year!
