It was Friday night and an orange beautiful full moon was hanging on the dark sky, shining with the sunglows. Sometimes hidden by the naughty clouds and the wind chase the clouds away from the moon so that the earthlings can get a sight on the God‘s beautiful creation. My eye closes its lid after a pleasant sight on them. The next day, after a n usual Saturday morning, I went to Mr.Loo‘s Biology class and from there I came to know that that Saturday was Moon Cake Festival. Oh my God, I was expecting the day for me to play with Tanglung, which is means lantern in Chinese. How could I forget such a day? I realised another thing that my school usually will have the festival celebrated in school level I was wondering why I did not came to know about it as I know my friends were assigned by the my school's Chinese Society teacher to arrange the festival. The next day in tuition with my schoolmates, I came to know that it was cancelled due to some management problem.
Suddenly an idea was struck in me.” Why don’t I celebrate the festival in my class”, I made a plan and inform to all my Chinese classmates to bring a lantern to class tomorrow Monday and I want to do my very own lantern. The idea about doing my own lantern was came in as I read an article in daily Star newspaper about Moon cake and Tanglung Festival and ways to do own creative lantern. However, the problem was I could get the items needed to do the same thing in the article. Therefore, back home I sat down and think about how to make one. Then I remember the word creative and I start search for used bottles and thick paperboard boxes in my house and found some. I took my sister’s watercolour and a highlighter and then began my work. Here some of illustration of procedures of own made lantern.
1. I cut the bottle’s mouth and bottom
2. Then I cut round the boxboard according to the size of the bottle used earlier.
3. Then insert the round board underneath the bottle around 3 inches from the bottom.
4. Take a candle around 3 inches and make it stick on the board.
5. Take a piece of paper of any colour to insert it into the bottle.
6. If you want to write or draw anything on the paper like I wrote my name in Chinese, go ahead
7. Finally, you can see the results by your own eyes.
If you want to add any design or your every own creativeness, you can do so that is all the creative is all about.
