Mooncake and Deepavali Celebrations @ YIH

GSS (Graduate Student's Society) had this Mid-autumn mooncake and Deepavali celebrations at the newly renovated YIH. The first stall we saw was this friendly man who taught us how to tie jasmine flowers knots. It was a great experience for us :D

There he is, showing us how and letting us to have 'hands-on' experiences.

How to wear turbans section

Chinese Calligraphy session..we wrote our names since we were bananas

Ohh..and this very very niceee one..henna hand dye!!
But my boss saw and was shocked! He thought it got acid burned or some accidents before he looked closely at it.


I curi-curi take picture with my gloves on- the motifs are still there! My labmates shook their head..

And this ..one of China's traditional costume..

They had traditional food session, tanglung (lantern) making session, peeling pomelo competition, Chinese Wushu performances and Indian Classical Dance.
Pretty interesting..

So long~

I wonder if there a lot of people who tried on the costume before you? hehe

Possible..but we went there not long after they started..so many people might have not seen that costume or perhaps tried it before us:)
