Mooncake Festival

As promised, the mooncake festival was brought to VCP on 11th of September 2008!!

We prepared heaps of mooncakes to satisfy your appetite... (Thanx a lot to Tamara, our international student officer for getting the mooncakes and lanterns!)We've committee members and helpful volunteers to set up the lanterns for you~~
And around 4.30pm, people start to fill in the cafeteria...
We started off with a few games.. We brought in the new game this year, Bo Bing, a traditional game played in Xiamen, China. The game involves 6 dices, which u throw into a bowl and judging by the pattern of the dices, you win prizes.
We had a desk of mahjong~~
And some conventional games such as Bingo...
and Jenga...
"Mooncake Festival is all about togetherness!" as rightly said by our advisor Robin... And to ensure that everyone blend together, we had this game: "London bridge" version of Musical Chair! (haha.. sorry for the poor creativity on the naming, i'm running out of ideas)
And after the game, it is TIME FOR MOONCAKES!!!!! wooow~~ we sure get a good response for this!
"which flavour should i get...."
Happy people with mooncakes!
When it got a bit darker, it is TIME FOR THE LANTERNS!!!
Ladies looking at... the... moon... no wait... the sky?

The 4th years!
All in all, this could very well be the best event we have had so far!! Good games, good food, good people... We sure do hope that we brought you one of the best mooncake festival that you've ever had in Melbourne and hope very much that you had enjoyed the event. We're DEFINITELY gonna do this again next year! So people, GIVE US YOUR SUPPORT!! We do welcome suggestions on how we can improve our events (not just this one, but all the others as well), so please help us to improve by dropping us an email in pisa2005@gmail.com or by leaving comments on this blog.
