Celebrate Moon Cake Festival at Nilai

It's been a while since the Nilai Student Ministry organize some gathering, or is it me staying too far to join most of their outings? We celebrated Moon Cake Festival in the student house on Sunday night, with around 30 students from Nilai UC, Inti UC, and KTT. Some girls arrived early to help cooking, while I helped cutting the moon cakes.

Food & beverage department:

Students will never have enough for food, good thing we have reinforcement from catering. I see a lot of new faces that night, means the students are doing good job inviting friends... I hope. Had a round of introduction and played a cup-passing game to start the night, not bad.

Ice breaker before we grab the foods:

We had a representative from each college to tell us their own version of story related to moon. I've googled the story for Moon Cake festival on Robert's iPhone earlier in that day and noticed that the online version is kinda different from what I knew, and there are some other variations too. Besides that, we had them divided into 4 groups to make lantern and design a pomelo.

Making lantern and pomelo design:

Finally, everyone took a small lantern and gather at the park nearby to sing songs~ this feels like caroling... no... campfire? So yeah, a night to let the students relax before going back for assignments and tests. And I got reached Semenyih quite late that night =.=

Group picture with lanters:

"Do not be far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help."

Now that the amount of students from each colleges are more balance, and some seniors in KTT are graduating soon. This is the trend of student ministry, people come and go, including me~ Pray that there will be another batch of happening young people that replaces us. Amen.
