If you look up in the sky tonight, you'll be able to see the full moon. A magnificent sight. The sky is clear, no cloud to obscure the moon. The night is nice and pleasant.
The mid-autumn festival, like the name suggests, is celebrated by the Chinese during mid-autumn. And since the only season we have here in Malaysia is fruit season, we can define mid-autumn festival as a mooncake festival held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese calendar, during a full moon, which is in September or early October.
QuadP students don't want to miss out on this meaningful event. Lots of students signed up and by 9.30, all of them gathered at the multi-purpose hall. The event started with a video on Mid-Autumn festival. "Whenever they are far away from loved ones, they would often look at the full moon and think of those they miss". Although there were a bit technical difficulties, everyone remained patient.
Next stop: riddles. In order to own the cute cartoon lanterns, one must come up front and answer a corresponding riddle. Congrats to those who managed to run up on stage and shout the right answer out.

The main attraction of the whole event: mooncake-eating. That's right, there was a variety of different-flavoured mooncakes, ranging from the infamous lotus to the bizarre mixed-nuts thingy.
The second attraction: walking around with lanterns. Yes, the ones who did not get the chance to answer the riddle still obtained one lantern each. After fixing the candle inside the lantern, we started our night-walk. "We don't want anyone burning their lanterns," they say, but look at how many people ended up with toasted lanterns. It was a bit funny if you ask me. Can't help but giggle at lanterns on fire.
We strolled till we reach the lot beside boys' hostel. That's where students started taking out their phones and cameras to take photos. It was a very breathtaking: all the lanterns illuminating colourful light in the otherwise dark place. And more burning lanterns.
Then, we went back to the hall, ready for more: games.
