Mooncake Festival Celebration

After a tiring trip to the Hunter Valley Winery, we proceed to the mooncake festival celebration organized by the Singapore society at Edward's Hall Cellar. As planned, the celebration was supposed to commence at 6:30pm but we arrived at seven thinking that the party had already started when it actually hasn't. Hehe. So much for Malaysian timing.. I guess since Singapore's in the same time zone as Malaysia, we share the same concept for making it ON TIME..

The society also organized a competition whereby attendants can form a group of three and make up dishes that is enough for 15 people. The group which gets the most vote from the other attendants would stand a chance to win AUD50. Hmm..I must say.. A not-so-attracting amount and the runner up doesn't get anything plus being too exhausted after the winery trip, we dun want to go through the hustle to actually cook for the celebration. So we went empty-handed..

More pictures ahead:

Raymond's getting so excited about the lantern that he got from JL..
Maybe the bamboo stick was too long, more like a fishing pole

and I join in the fun.. Woo hoo~

Me and JL under the spotlight.. And JL finally got back her pink lantern

The biotech trio with JL's symbolic baby pink lantern

A total of 37 of us (I guess) went around parading half the campus with brightly lit lanterns

After celebration drink

After around 12am, we continued going to International House for some wine-drinking to make up for the after dinner celebration from Nick's 21st birthday. There, we played endless rounds of games and the loser gets the punishment by drinking. The gentlemen were good enough to make me my drink with only a 10% of alcohol mix (or even less) with the rest being carbonated soft drink. My so-called absolute zero tolerance to alcohol is already well-known as it is.

Quote MK, "Dun give her anymore, we won't want to carry her home.." Thanks a lot~.. you're actually embarrassing me a lot with that..

I only found out not long ago that I'm not in any of the pictures.. Hehe.. But I'm really there.. We played till 5am in the morning with my contact lenses killing my eyes and the wind chilled us to our spines as we walk back to our room.
