Dumpling Festival

Wan Chan and 2 daughters, Seok Lee and son, Fong Ling and 2 kids, Kwi Chuan and 3 kids,Swee Kian and 3 kids, Jeetran, Angie and 2 kids, came over for the Dumpling Festival --- a belated one coz we were all having our holiday during the actual day.
Was a rather small gathering this time....compared to the previous Chinese New Year festival.

Dumpling was made 1 day prior to the festival celebration. So today we only need to heat up.
Nature table decorated by Fong Ling which displayed all the 香包that was taught by FOng Ling to all the mothers. Mothers taught at home to their kids. This looks so impressive


Flagged off with Zhong Qiu 中秋 poem recitation. Each family took 1 and recited them.
Thanks to Fong Ling, I now understand better why we need to use 香包and also 艾草。(艾草was plucked from neighbour at last minute)
Followed by story telling of Master Qu Yuan by Seok Lee and pupper play by Swee Kian.


Dragon boat race was put up --- thanks to Jeetran and Fong Ling's boat that we were able to have a dragon boat race. Kids were divided into 2 groups. It's a relay race. Drummers for each group identified ---- though not properly assigned. haha!
Was a bit of mess though.... but guess they get all the fun in the water too anyway.
Race ended early as the Management Office get complaints from some 'over sensitive' residents....must be complaining on the sound of my overblown whistle --- they said they cant sleep. :( Anyway, leave this aside, we still get lots of fun out of it.

Washed and changed....then feed the tummy with dumpling and fruits.
