Mid Autumn Festival – 2008
We went over to King’s Wife‘s place on Saturday so that the kids could play with fire lantern together with their cousins.
Before dinner, it was jamming time. Guitar is getting so popular all the older kids know how to play it.
Love this shot of Sam

This nephew of mine has joined a band. This can probably be his cover shot if he produced an album.

After a take away dinner, we all went to light the lanterns and strolled to the park to enjoy the night. It was a hot night but the sky was clear. The kids upon seeing all the candles litted by the other kids, left their lanterns totally and joined it. Blowing candles after singing Happy Birthday, lighting more candles, etc.
Zara and Zaria had their first taste of ‘playing’ with fire, and even though occasionally the wax dripped on their fingers and they yelped in pain, they went on.
Tasha blowing off the candle, of course after the Happy Birthday singing

King’s Wife’s nephew, Wei Hao, lighting candles.

Zara playing with sparkles

Zara blowing off candles, also after birthday song was sung

Girls love lighting the candles, I didn’t stop them as it’s good for developing their dexterity

More birthday song singing for Zaria to blow off the candle.

Sam lighting candle

When it was time to leave the park, Zara protested. Mummy I want to do some more grave yard thingy.” …. It took me a few seconds to realise that she was relating lighting candles with graveyard because that’s what we do when we pay our respect in my mother’s grave.
(Daddy took all the photos while I spent time gossipping with my sisters/sister in laws.)
