Cosplay
CNY comes to the end on Chap Goh Meh which coincide with Valentines Day on Fri. After picking Emeryn from school, we headed to Penang Botanic Gardens for a festival which be held at Quarry Park with special highlights include the Moonlight & Love unplugged concert, the Valentine's Cosplay contest and party as well as the Yuan Xiao Jie group wedding, carnival and wedding fair. It was a 10minutes walk from where we parked our car to the Quarry Park. While walking towards the event venue, we passed through some stall selling souvenirs and snacks. We then stopped at the Cosplay site and took some photo with those cosplay animations. We had some light snacks before leaving to Esplanade.
Our main intention driving over to Esplanade was for the mandarin oranges throwing session. Emeryn was introduced to that session last year and had fun doing it, thus asking for the same session again this year. Last year we went unprepared and had to pay for the mandarin oranges. This year, mummy brought 3 mandarin oranges from home. We bumped into Ah Kong at Esplanade and later Sherine Ee Ee and her mum joined us. In
Hokkien, Chap Goh Meh means the fifteenth night of Chinese New Year and
marks the end of the festive season. Also known as Chinese Valentine’s
Day, Chap Goh Meh signifies the first full moon of the lunar new year
and the act of mandarin tossing is traditionally practiced by single
maidens to wish for a good husband and with hope that her true love will
pick up the orange. The tradition is still practiced today, but it is more for the fun part instead of serving the origins purpose. Many families from all walks of life brought their own oranges to join in the fun. Emeryn asked for more oranges but mummy rejected her request to buy. Next year, we shall bring more oranges. There were performances and food stalls at Esplanade but we decided to leave early as it was a schooling day on the next day. We went for our late dinner at Kapitan and had the famous tandoori chicken before heading home.
We started our Sat early as mummy sent Emeryn to her trial ballet class at 9am. It was an hour lesson and Emeryn seems to enjoyed it a lot. Asked if she wants to sign up for the class, she quickly replied YES. She will probably be starting her lesson on Mac but have to skip the beginner lesson and join the existing students. We had our breakfast at Roti Bakar after the class before going home to prepare for school. It was a replacement class for CNY. While Emeryn was at the school, mummy stayed home and continued with her photoook project.
On Sun, Emeryn attended her GB Maths class at 11.30am. We had a quick breakfast before the class. We headed to QBM after the class. Mummy has promised to get Emeryn an iPad. We went to Switch and Emeryn tried on the iPad. At last mummy decided to get iPad Air with retina display 32g which cost RM1929. Finally Emeryn's dream of owning an ipad is fulfilled. Mummy also bought her sweets from Sticky. Before leaving, we had a pit stop at JCo where Emeryn had her favorite donuts. We then drove to Prangin Mall to get the iPad cover and screen protector before going over to Por Por's house for our usual Sun visit and early dinner. We then proceeded to the Art is Rubbish is Art exhibition by Ernest Zacharevic at the old Hin Bus Depot. The exhibition showcase wall murals mostly local children.
