"I take a look at my enormous LANTERN...
all my troubles start to melt away...
I take a look at my enormous LANTERN...
and all the hapy times come to stay..."
Yess it's LANTERN, and not some P**is. Mooncake Festival with the girls last night was really one of a kind. Trust me, you can't find that anywhere else other than Dunman High Hostel with the TJ girls. After a thirty-minutes call home, Yongyi came, excited with her white lotus double yolk mooncake. Four of us - Jessica, Junli, Yongyi and me, were all prepared to feast on the mooncake when yongyi suddenly had to call home. Then, we heard something about collecting the lanterns from office if we wanted. Of course, we dashed down once we heard the announcement.
We planned to only grab one or two to decor our rooms, but in the end Jess Junli and me went walking in the neighborhood with our lit lanterns! It was like reviving our childhood days, except for Jess who got SO excited 'coz it was her first time carrying a lantern in her life. We walked practically everywhere around the HDB area, with lanterns and acting kiddos hahaha. Soon our candles died, and we did the best thing we could ever do - asking for more candles from a group of kiddos playing candles beside the fountain. And to admit that the kiddos know more about lanterns than we do! Oh man!
We went back to the hostel in view of getting more people to play lanterns with us. Trust me, we were the biggest kiddos in the hostel. J1 ald and still going gaga over lanterns and made so much noise in the office, that June Low even made an announcement over the PA system "Girls, you are making too much noise", when we were just outside the room! Hahaha! So the few of us - yongyi, kaigai, pear, junli, jessica and me, took our lanterns up to 6th floor.
After that was truly crazy. Don't know where we got this idea of taking photos with the lanterns and doing all sorts of poses in the world. That was still not enough. Somebody sang the "enormous" song, and another suggested making an MV about that song! Erm.. substitute the P**is with LANTERN. And there we went, singing and acting at the same time. The video was hilarious of course, given our 'absolute talent' in acting. Winks.
Then cool down time, with mooncakes and pomelos! And of course after that girls' talk with pear and jessica. It's always very fun where you share gossips here and there. It was about four something in the morning, and telling pear I was tired was the last thing i remember doing in the lounge.

I was woken up by an announcement.
"All boarders, the haze today is very serious and all outdoor activities are not allowed. Boarders, try to stay indoor as far as possible, because the air pollution index is 100. Once again, boarders are to stay indoor and all outdoor activities are not allowed."
I sat up, looked out of the window. True, i could not see the buildings beyond DHS. Then Jessica came to ask me whether i wana go down for breakfast. I muttered something and fell back asleep. When I opened my eyes again I saw Yongyi yelling my name and telling me how bad the haze was. Then i closed my eyes again. The next time i woke up was kaigai poking my face, asking me to wake up. As expected, i went back to sleep again.
Well, at least i finally woke up, and it is already lunch time. -.-
