I love lights!

The view from the rooftop garden that we were going to makan at

I’m fascinated by lights so much. Fireworks and anything that glows just make me feel happy. I don’t know how to describe the feeling I have but it just sparks a warm glow deep inside me.

So I was asked by a friend to come for a little fellowship with the choir members celebrating the mid-autumn festival. What I didn’t expect was to be holding a long lost favorite toy of mine. Lanterns. Oh how they bring back memories. I remember walking around proudly with that little lantern around the neighborhood.

Nice? I trying to take blur (I don’t know whats the term) images

Fellowship so sweet

Now it felt odd like I was that little kid again but you know what?  I liked it. Hahaha. The lights were just so nice. Of course the fellowship was nice too as I got to know some of the people so much better. Initially I was hesitant but because this friend means so much to me here and also for her effort to really be such a good friend, I obliged at first but was happy I went.

Cute Lanterns

Nemo

I said something last night that was stupid which I don’t even know why it came out that way and I’m so sorry to that person. Thank God she was gracious to the silly me. I miss my friends back home so so much. I am grateful for the friends that have accepted me here too. I pray that our friendships will always reflect God’s glory.

    Nice lanterns, I remember my first one was a chicken shaped one made out of this paper thingy….nowadays most of it battery operated so boring. I remember I was very proud too carrying my lantern round the neigbourhood, until it got burned somehow I think coz the wind blew too hard. anyway that was my favourite lantern. Don’t remember much of other lanterns but hmm I did have one given to me and it was nice too, that was my favourite too :-)
    Too bad nowadays don’t get to carry around anymore :-( Glad you had a great time .

    i always go for the candles instead of the lanterns hehe….. and end up getting some scolding for lighting candles everywhere. Oh that was so many years ago….. Why no picture of yourself with a lantern?

    Leon said:

    Yeah you and your weirdness that is exactly like me. I also but I don’t get the scolding cause mine is a work of art hehehe

  7. Alexandra says:

    I’d pretend to make a birthday cake..and my brother would burn the wax of the candles…hehe

    Leon said:
