Mooncake festival in Australia..

Last Tuesday (25/9) we went to Ivie and Li Ping's housewarming party. It was a BBQ + potluck party so we made some desserts there. Yu Wan, Yun Ying, Christina and I made batik cake and trifle in the afternoon. I was happy coz it's the first time that the custard for the trifle I made thickened, which was a great success! Yun Ying said that coz we're making for friends that's why it turned out a success...haha =P Yun Ying made jelly and Christina baked chicken too, while the Deakineses made tau fu fa. Ivie came to fetch us at 8.30pm, she had to make three rounds of driving to fetch us from the halls...thanks to Ivie here =D

There were already a few people at her house. There were other kinds of food such as fried mihun (fried by Li Ping, it was a favourite among many people), fried rice (by Ivie I think, it's sweet!), pasta (by Grace, I like the sauce) and also chicken and corn for BBQ. The house was decorated with balloons. As we were very hungry, we started eating fried mihun and batik cake, chatting and enjoying ourselves while waiting for the others to arrive.

It was really fun as we played games while eating. We played Battle of the Sexes, heart attack etc.. I had a good laugh when the boys acted as Backstreet Boys because they lost in the game...it was really funny and we even took video of them!

When midnight came, Ivie (who was initially outside) came into the house with two cakes in her hands, each with two lit fireworks replacing candles and started singing birthday song for Li Ping. We joined in the celebration and played fireworks outside! After that we ate cake, continued eating and playing all the time...and slowly getting tired and sleepy as well. As it was Mooncake Festival, we lit some lanterns at the backyard. At around 2am Ivie fetched us back to the halls.
