It was a drizzly day, so the full moon did not make its appearance... I also could not hang the bulk of the paper lanterns out on the trees... nor could the kids go on a little neighbourhood walk... but moving the car, there was enough space in the garage for the usual chaos.
I was quite happy buying my huge and rather costly pomelo's from chinatown (the phone is placed there as an indication of size), from a man who only sells there twice a year. He says I will be back for years and years to come as its is an IPOH pomelo and it is sweet and juicy, I even placed them high on my cake stands in the middle of the buffett spread... well the verdict... sigh not great. The cheap pomelos were much nicer. Next to the pomeloes is our giant guava fruit from the tree. Hope Jin has found a way to eat it. We both have gained weight from munching on moon cakes.
Olivia made really yummy dumplings and oven baked spring rolls that turned out really nice too. The satay was ordered. The kids liked lighting their sparklers and I must remember to buy the smokeless ones next time! at one point there was smoke slowly making its way out of the pine trees, I thought the tree may be on fire! We had one casualty... Caden got burnt by a sparker and is probably never going to use one again.
Someone brought the whistling type and that was a bit exciting... the kids kind of enjoyed taking their little lanterns around but the candles sure burn out quickly.
Oh and that is olivia with the host of the amazing race, Alan Wu, who is Jonas and Sage's dad. Its quite funny how everywhere we go with Lilin and Alan, they get stopped by people who want to take photos with them.
