25-Sept-2007 tuesday - This year moon cake festival fall on weekday, most people leaving work place early in order to go home for gathering. For chinese, today is a special day that every members of family must go home for gathering & makan makan. No exceptions for I & james.

This year we had our gathering at PSC.

We left work place about 6pm, the bad things is there's a heavy traffic jam on the coaster highway on our way home. We squeeze in & out all the way, very lucky we still able to get home in half an hour time. About 6:45pm we go to pick up Vernon & maid from MIL house. Today Vernon is wearing a special tiger suite bought by kuku. He is so happy as u can see when we put him on his car seat and then we straight go to PSC to meet ChorChor, E-Po, NaiNai, Kuku, Ah Mah, Kong-Kong, E-e, Jolene & Joshua. By the time we reached there is already 7:10pm, just in time for us to have some appetizer b4 the moon cake festival started at 7:30pm. U know-lah, chinese time is always half an hour late one. So we order some mee mee and fried rice at the captain's restaurant.

about 7:45pm Vernon saw a kids from another table holding his lantern, he also ask for his lantern. First, we gave him his Doraemon and he still go after the boy. Vernon tried to grab the boy's lantern from his hand. We divert his attention by telling him that we 're going to the poolside for the lantern parade. We went to register and then we went to met Ah mah, Kong kong, E-e, Jolene & joshua at Snake temple. We enjoyed mooncake & tea together which prepared by PSC together, not long the organizer announce and asked the kids to gather in front & ready for the lantern parade around the pool. We rushed and q-up in the line, I try to let the rest of the people walked first since Vernon is too small and he will slow down the whole group if he walk in front of the line.
