It was a day that everyone of us had been waiting for. Chuan Zheng and Zi Ning’s trip back to Penang also because of this day. This day was Lanterns Festival or you can also called it Mooncake Festival ,as long as it is a festival to bring everyone together, it is a great festival.

Early on this morning, as usual, Chee Chee and Chloe had to attend their baby gym session at Tumbletots. After the lesson, we went back to Poh Poh's house and waiting for the arrival of mummy's old old old best friend. Chee Chee never meet this auntie before as this auntie is staying at US and was not back to Penang for past 4 years. Her last visit back to Penang was on mummy and daddy's wedding day. She is auntie Yuin Ying. She is mummy's old and best friend since school time. On this day, auntie Yuin Ying was back and she was coming to Poh Poh's house to meet us. We were very glad to see auntie Yuin Ying and we had a great chat. Auntie Yuin Ying bought Chee Chee a big and lovely bear. We hope we can go to US next time to visit auntie Yuin Ying and her husband.





After auntie Yuin Ying left, mummy put Chee Chee to bed for a nap. While Chee Chee was sleeping, mummy, Ta Yi Yi and Poh Poh went to market to buy some foods for this night Lattern Festival celebration. We planned to have a BBQ dinner plus steamboat dinner on this night. Ta Yi Yi also bought us some tranditional style latterns. It will be a great fun tonight.



In the evening, everyone at home was busy with the preparation for tonight BBQ and steamboat dinner. Jiu Jiu and Chuan Zheng were busying set up the BBQ stove, Ta Yi Yi, Poh Poh, Si Yi Yi, Siao Yi Yi and mummy were busy preparing the food. All of us had put a lot of efforts to make this a memorable and wonderful night.


Gong Gong was back earlier on this night too. We had invited Grandpa and Grandma to join us for the party as well. Suk Suk, Sen Sen and Grace had to attend a friend's wedding dinner, so they were unable to make it for the party.


At around 7pm, it rained heavily. But it doesn't stop us for celebrationg the wonderful night with the latterns light. We pushed everything under the roof and started the BBQ and steamboat session. There were a lot of delicious and nice foods. All of us were very full and satisfied.



After the eating session, we started to light up our latterns. Chuan Zheng, Zi Ning, Chee Chee and Grace were very excited and each of them had a lovely lattern. As Grace is still small, so she got an electronics lattern on this night. She can get a real one when she is bigger. We lighted up the candles in the latterns and Chuan Zheng leaded Zi Ning and Chee Chee to carry the latterns. It was a fun and precious moments together. Everyone of us had a great night at home.


Besides, we also had some mooncakes, yam and kuih as our desserts of the night. Chee Chee loves the mooncake very much. It was really a great Mooncake Festival ever. Happy Mooncake Festival. All of us had a great fun. It will be even better if San Yi Yi and San Yi Chang can joined us for the night, but unfortunately, they had to attend a wedding dinner in KL, so cannot join us for the night. Anyway, Happy Lattern Fest to everyone!!!
