Food Festival

Unbelievably, it's been a year since the last Food Festival.

This year, we are all very excited to troop back to Ami's school for the Food Festival.

This year, we actually made our own way to the book shop to purchase the tickets (at an early bird's discount), and Kecil had her exciting moment of pointing out the similarity of the ticket design to the Food Fest banner outside the school.

Can't you tell if she's excited to go? This was taken as we made our way (on foot) to the school. Mama had dressed Kecil appropriately, because she knows what the main attraction would be for this Little One.

Just to give you a hint, it's NOT the food.

The bouncy mat? Haha.. you bet. As you can see, Mama was left in the dust once the mat was fully inflated.

Which was kind of good, as Mama then can make her way around to take pics.

The school being an international school, of course you'd expect international food abound. And indeed, it was a pretty cool feast.

The Japanese food stall was especially a visual feast with all the interesting details, from brightly colored yukata and obi, the textures employed in the decorations, to Little Ami herself enjoying a spot of onigiri.

Indeed, besides Ami, there are others also in traditional costumes. Even boys (though they moved so much I didn't get a good pic)

Well... soon after, the food booths were opened and lines formed around all the booths.

It kind of marked the end of Mama's photographing spree as we all went into the business of queuing and grabbing our food. Kecil barely ate (nor get photographed) because she was too busy with other things, namely running around looking for her friends as well as playing in various spots with all the other kids.

Rest assured, however, that she had fun.

As night fell and it turned dark, there were students' performances, from kindergardener like Ami to the bigger students from up to Grade 12. 

And as a finale, we had some spectacular fireworks.

Not quite being prepared, Mama does not have any pics of the fireworks.

Perhaps next year. Haha....

Following the Food Fest last year, we had Kecil's Skool Field trip, which is also coming this year at the end of the month. We are excited, but it would seem that the Epic Holiday series would just be left hanging. Haha... We'll see, we'll see.
