The Mid Autumn Festival—Party Time!!

Although the moon was a little shy and didn’t show up quite often, we still enjoyed a great party at Fish on September 19. Greater China Club, Mandarin Club, and Taiwan Club co-host this party for all T-birds to celebrate our Mid Autumn Festival. The breeze sent us the message from home. The weather was perfect to share the beauty of the night.

Renee Zhang, Winterim ’06, and I were the MC of the party. I am sorry that I wore sloppy when Renee dressed up with her qipao, a Mandarin dress. Well…in a way that shows how pretty she is at the party. The moon cakes were something you definitely couldn’t miss at the Mid Autumn Festival. When you cut off them, you would find egg yolks inside. Don’t you think that they look like the moon in the sky? We shared the cakes with the joy and the blessings.

As a tradition, the new students were introduced to the crowd. John Yao, Winterim ’07, not only presented himself but also recited “Thinking of You” to everyone. Accompanying with the night, the poetry was so beautiful and touching. The moon showed up from the clouds eventually. I didn’t know whether the poetry drew the scene or whether the scene recalled the poetry…

The karaoke, of course, was one of the most popular programs. People lined up for performing their songs. Executives from China Telecom also joined us and sang together. From English to Chinese, no matter you are a professional or a beginner. The music simply decorated and smoothen the night. We swung according to the melody…Quite a night! Thank you all. Special thanks to Mike Bolante. Your help was grateful.
