The Student Residence came alive with the vibrant and heartwarming spirit of the Mid-Autumn Festival Celebration on the evening of September 27, 2023. This cherished event brought together residents from all corners of the globe, including our beloved exchange students who are far away from their homes. Despite the distance, they found a sense of belonging and comfort, creating a true home away from home.

The Beauty of Mid-Autumn

The roundabout was adorned with enchanting lanterns and captivating booths representing different halls and international student societies. These decorations transformed the atmosphere into a magical and festive wonderland, evoking the essence of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Hall 4’s booth, dazzled with shimmering tinsels and hand-crafted lanterns immediately caught the attention of all who entered the event. The booth became a hub of excitement, offering engaging activities such as guessing mooncake flavours and solving riddles, captivating everyone’s interest. The mooncakes, eagerly enjoyed by the participants, vanished within two hours, while the riddles added an extra layer of thrill to the overall experience.

Enchanting Performances

The performances by the talented residents of Hall 4 were nothing short of extraordinary. Joey Wong, the Inter-hall Singing Contest champion, mesmerised the audience with a heartfelt rendition of the song ‘Night Changes.’ Additionally, Christina and her dance crew delivered a powerful dance performance to the beats of ‘Shut Down’ by BLACKPINK, leaving the audience entertained.

The Amazing Support

We extend our deepest appreciation to Risa, Aumio, Ayau, and Linda, the talented decoration team behind the mesmerising Mid-Autumn-themed booth. Their creativity and dedication brought the festival’s spirit to life. We would also like to thank Nancy, Jason, Pai, and Irena from the receptionist team for their meticulous organization and management of the enjoyable games adding an extra layer of delight to the event.

The Mid-Autumn Festival Celebration was a testament to the unity and warmth that can be found within our diverse student community, where borders and distances are transcended. It was a joyous occasion that reminded us all of the power of coming together and creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
