4th September 2008 – Brunei’s Hokkien Assocation

We went to the Pre Mooncake Festival Celebration at the Hokkien Association of Brunei. I’m not Hokkien by the way, my mum is, my late Grandpa joined this association and My family automatically became a member. Sounds better than multilevel Marketing kind of Membership scheme right?

We were served with Free Sungkai Buffet then follow by a series of games:

Activity 1: Children Coloring Contest – my brother and my little cousins joined. Although none of them win, but they each got a participation prize and they are all very happy. My bro didn’t know how a mooncake looks like..

Activity 2 – Riddle 灯谜

this is a very traditional games to play on mooncake festival back in China. There are several lanterns hanging up with a Riddle (no answer) written on it. there were altogether 10 Riddles, My Family got 4 riddles correct! and the prize is $10 for each riddle.

 

hokkien association, brunei
hokkien association, brunei

 

 Activity 3 – Chinese Caligraphy by Lawyer Yu

Honestly, i have the urge to pick up chinese caligraphy again after i saw his work.

Activity 4 – Mooncake Pictures Puzzle Game

This Puzzle game is quite an interesting one, the puzzle is a big square boxes with 2 pictures on each box. it is not an easy games as all the mooncake looks the same. Only 4 groups can participate in this activity. Round 1: My Aunt Bee and cousin Brian in 1 group and won the first round. Round 2: my sister and cousin Jiayng won the 2nd round. Round 3: 2 winners from the previous round gonna compete. At first i was busy taking photos, but at the end i got too excited and started to scream and guide them to win.

My sister’s gorup won at the end and got $40, my aunt’s group got $20.

Activity 5: Mooncake eating contest

My aunt told me last year the competitors ate really slow, so i tot i might have a chance to win, so i joined the contest. who knows my uncle who can really eat joined also. *_*  Its really not easy to swallow the mooncake especially when it’s not cut. my twin aunts joined too. Aunt Bee started eating later because she had problem opening the plastic bag. she was the 4th to finish the mooncake, so i suppose she could get 3rd prize if she opened it earlier. and My Uncle in Red Won the 1st prize. This is my first time eating one whole piece of mooncake without cutting.

Dr Tat, if you are reading this, pls join next year so you can win for your dad.

Activity 6: Kids Game – Superheros

About 30 kids joined this game, and they were all lined up at the stage. the Emcee will switch between superman, spiderman, ultraman and batman. those who didnt posed it properly will be eliminated. seriously this is not easy, I tried it at home. oh and my bros and cousins didn’t win again 😛

Overall, i enjoyed the night and thank you to the organizers!
