We had a gathering of Chinese and Indian students on Monday night to celebrate Moon Cake Festival. I've learn that it's an annual gathering to remember our festivals back in Malaysia and also an opportunity for all the students from different batch to meet and have fellowship.
The gathering was in a Galbi Shop, a Korean barbecue shop. The price is quite reasonable, about RM 24 per person for a buffet barbecue dinner. For the first time after so long I feasted sumptuously on beef, pork and lamb.
After the dinner we gathered at a nearby park. Our seniors brought lanterns and moon cakes from Malaysia during their trip back home in August. So we were able to enjoy Malaysia-made moon cakes in a far away country.
The night was followed by a ghost story telling, which I didn't really like at first, but began to enjoy later on. The reason? Our seniors were so horrible at telling the story that it wasn't at all scary, rather it was so funny till we all can't control our laughter.
Thus ends my first Moon Cake festival in this far Eastern country. Though the locals doesn't celebrate the festival, we Malaysian student's enjoyed it.
