A total of 132 senior residents came for this event to be entertained by stage performances and treated to a sumptuous buffet dinner served by our volunteers. They were each presented with a Hong Pao and a pair of the longevity buns. The most senior male and female residents present for the night were invited on stage to receive another special BIG Hong Pao. We really hope this event can be a yearly affair for our senior residents to celebrate their longevity and encourage them to stay positive and healthy in their golden years. We take this opportunity to thank the Kim Eang Tong temple (Ang Mo Kio Ave 1) for their strong support and we also like to show our heartiest appreciation for one of its members for sponsoring all the Hong Paos.

The Mid-Autumn Festival celebration was a blast with residents streaming in for the exciting event! Talented performers dominated the stage and captured the attention of many who rushed to get one of the fast disappearing seats. Besides the excitement on stage, the game stalls by the side were no less welcomed by residents. People of all ages, including children, young adults, parents and elderly folks, queued up to enjoy the fun games and challenges set up. A variety of snacks were given out as prizes for those who came to play. Many residents continued playing despite the fact that the goodies had run out, showing much appreciated enthusiasm that we were happy to cater to by prolonging the game stalls. Everyone who came went back with light hearts and sated tummies from all the lovely goodie bags and scrumptious food. This had been a very successful event!
