12 Sept 2011 (Monday) - Mid Autumn Festival Get Together

Hello all!

Interested in celebrating the Mid Autumn Festival together this year? For those not familiar with this festival, it falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. It is also known to all as the Mooncake Festival. The folks celebrate this by gathering with loved ones, sipping tea, eating mooncakes and admiring the moon while the kids play with lanterns.

We are not doing any rides but meeting at East Coast to have a moonlight picnic. Actually I won't know if we can actually see the moon from where we will be but let's just have fun and enjoy the company. The meeting point is at a bbq pit so you can either drive or ride there. If you want to ride around the area, you are most welcome to do so too! Do bring your family, friends or pets along!

I will bring some mooncakes for everyone and perhaps some drinks. Please let me know if you want to contribute some mooncakes, fruits, drinks or snacks etc.

LCSg a ride community has grown so close that we dont meet just for rides but also to celebrate festivals like this moon cake festival. Like a family gathering. This is so beautiful!

Boo, you are great!

Yeah, it would be fun if some of you recite Su Dong Po's poem but must read with the feelings of the poet when he composed the poem hor: 水調歌頭·丙辰中秋
If reciting poem is boring, then sing the poem in Teresa Teng's 但愿人长久 song.

Sadly I will miss the fun, being still in Penang (no, not riding in the campaign for a bike lane event) eating and catching up with an old friend.

we shall get TW to recite or sing then! but might he scare off the moon? haha.

Don't worry Audrey, we will have more gatherings like this and have fun Will catch you soon then! Have fun in Penang.
