fun galore
Wearing a jesters hat, Balloon sculptor Crazee
e.Z. went on stage to fashion swords, elmo and
Tweety Bird out of colourful balloons. The sight
of the prized souvenirs f lled the students with
euphoria. Balloons were handed out one after
another and very soon the ballroom came alive
with a splash of colours.

The students were also treated to an oriental
performance. it was a quick-change act with
umbrellas! all eyes were riveted on the poised
performer as she pulled umbrellas out of
thin air! later, lay Cheng invited f ve pairs of
parents and children on stage for a pomelo-
peeling competition. once they were done,
the participants had to place the rinds on their
heads! This was believed to be a form of prayer
to the moon goddess Change.

any Mid-autumn festival celebration would not
be complete without a lantern parade. all the
students received a lantern before they made a
beeline for the swimming pool. They held their
lanterns aloft as they ambled along the route,
enjoying the beautiful breezy moon-lit night.
Before the night of revelry ended, lay Cheng
delivered her earlier promise of having a mass
gangnam style dance. as soon as the song
started, all the students got on their feet and did
the horse dance without missing a beat. it was
indeed a great way to end the night!
