The Tanglung Night that was......

Last friday was a crazy day for me....my kitchen cabinet maker decided to come on that day to install the cabinets when I have already planned to bake cupcakes and make french fries for Kyra's kindie's TANGLUNG NIGHT!

It was a rush, coz they only finished installing the cabinets at 5pm! Good thing I managed to bake the cupcakes the night before, all 40 cuppies! I only had to whip up the icing and decorate them, and also prepare the fries.....And of course, we were late....needless to say.....

So here it is:

My 40 homemade soft buttercuppies topped with buttercream and silver dragees...
(that's the fastest decor I could whip up at the last minute mah....)
I was worried nobody would have the tummy for cupcakes after eating all the curries and noodles brought by other parents, boy! I was so wrong..... all 40 of them got snapped up in less than 5 minutes, so fast that my own cousin Stella didn't manage to get hold of one! LOL!



Nainai, Maia and Godma during the Lantern Walk around the neighbourhood area....



Z trying his hands at lighting up a tanglung (lantern), Kyra and Yeryer.....


Chipsmories, Maia and Me! LOL! At 1st, I seriously wondered to myself, "Is this mascot supposed to be a POO (aka SHIT)???" :D Only after i saw the Chipsmore posters behind him that I realized he is the chocolate CHIPPIE! LOL!


Everybody having their lantern lit.....

And the very next day, WE were coincidentally featured in almost all the local newspapers, Chinese and English ones....hahahaha.....Luckily partial of my face was covered by a lantern..HEHE! (tho it was not a bad photo)....I might scan them and post them up...maybe....

Overall, I think Principal Vicky and her team did a great job bringing the communities together for this event, even thought it was too crowded for any of us to even 'locate' a neightbour to begin with, at least this event enabled parents (and grandparents) to spend good quality time with their children....
