The mooncake festival party in my friend's mom's kindergarten was pretty awesome, I have to say..
My mom and my sis went too.. I told Elaine they would come, and they must come..It's not like everyday you get to see children in kimonos.My sis didn't want to go in the first place..She was ranting over and over again on how tired she was...We actually stayed in the Hyatt hotel on Saturday. because my mom doesn't want to spend a night under the same roof as my dad..And she has to leave for Malacca the next day, so we won't be able to go to Singapore and stay in her apartment for the night..So, my mom booked a place in Hyatt...It's like, a few hundred years since I have last been there..My sis and I were actually very surprised when we entered the hotel lobby. I used to go to Piccolo's situated in the basement of Hyatt when I was a little girl when my family was still, *sighs* complete..We loved to listen to the indie band sing in Piccolo's..Even my grandparents went..
My sis went on complaining that she did not want to go to the party..My mom brought us to Plaza Pelangi before the party started to purchase a gift for the kindergarten..We bought some chocolates as the gift in Chocolate Fantasy..
By the time we got there, the party had already started..Elaine told me that if we got there earlier, we might have been able to see the Japanese kids perform..But the kids do look cute in their kimonos...They were in pink, red, blue and yellow kimonos..Some of their parents were in kimonos too..According to Elaine, most of the kimonos were made by the childrens' mothers..After eating, Elaine took me on a tour around the kindergarten..Some of the classrooms bear a striking resemblance to the ones we had in Q-dees, and for that moment, I wished I was little again..Elaine told me that little kids play and laugh all day long, with no signs of exhaustion and definitely, they are free from stress..
Many of the adults were busy snapping photos of the children..My sis took my phone and started taking photos of them.."They're too cute to be true..", someone said in the midst of the crowd..The kids started singing with their lanterns in hand, smiling at the crowd..Elaine told me that a girl named Ayaka would be leaving the school the next day, and this party was also held to bid her farewell..
The photo below is one of the photos snapped by my sis..Had to swim across the crowd in order to snap one decent picture..The quality is rather crappy..

You can still see how cute the kids look even though the picture's of lousy quality..
The party ended with the kids releasing balloons into the air..The balloons were tied onto a lantern..I wonder where they are now..^^;
We decided to leave earlier cos my mom had a terrible headache..But it was a wonderful experience..And my sis didn't regret attending the party after all..
