[h=1]14-09-06: Mid Autumn - Parade of Lantern Colours[/h]Updated <abbr title="Thursday, September 11, 2014 at 2:29pm" data-utime="1410416969" class="timestamp">on Wednesday</abbr>
The mood was merry and the atmosphere lively at Punggol East SMC's Mid-Autumn Parade of Lantern Colours. The event, held onSaturday, 6th September at Blk 112 Rivervale Walk, saw a healthy turnout as residents came together to light colourful, kaleidoscopic lanterns and participate in a short parade led by MP Lee Li Lian. A wheelchair performance to showcase the strength we all can have even in our perceived disabilities, was to me, the highlight of the event. We are glad that residents, young and old, bonded over competitive games such as guessing the weight of a giant (6.75kg) mooncake, pomelo peeling and fun Chinese riddles. All in all, this gathering of our Punggol East community of residents and volunteers was a good reminder that we have much to be thankful for.
