Lantern Festival 3rd October 2009

All's well that ends well. It started out as a small scale event but it ended up as a bigger event. It rained but it did not dampen the spirit of all the team members. Everyone chipped in from the start to the end. The team had originally arrange everything inside the commnity hall and later moved it to the field and when it stater to drizzle, team work came into play and a neigbour helped out with his pick up truck and took most of the load. We had our very own 3 wheels vehicle ferry most of the items like the PA system, the table and chairs while the rest of us carreid the food inside once again. Food was the main item only surpassed by par excellent entertainment from the Taichi and dance presentations and dance along sessions. We had mini competitions, youngest to the oldest, tallest to the broadest, chopstick peanuts competition, guess the sweets in the jar contest etc. Everyone had fun and food. There were fantastics singers and dancers providing live entertainment too. The children lit up their lanterns and soon they were the mainattraction in the night. Taman Lone Pine came alive with tardition and harmony. The police were also here to join in the merry making. Wow what a successful nite. My hats off to the organizing committe and our very great suppporter from the Taici and Dance group. The best part was food was aplenty and we had to coax our previous supporters, the Break Dance kids to come help us finish the food and we had lots more to pack home. The beauty of it everyone helped to clean up nd restore the community hall back to its original arrangement and cleanliness. Here is to Community Living. Our next event on the cards might be New Year 2010 Celebrations.
