🎃 La citrouille lumineuse de Binance : un conte d’Halloween à Yangon 👻

Le soir brumeux s’était installé sur Yangon, apportant un froid rare et inquiétant dans les rues habituellement chaudes de la ville. Nous étions le 30 octobre, la veille d’Halloween, et je me sentais incroyablement nerveux. J’ai toujours été quelqu’un d’un peu anxieux, qui préfère le calme réconfortant de la maison aux fêtes bruyantes et bondées. Pourtant, cette année allait être différente. Ma sœur aînée, la personne la plus joyeuse, sociable et travailleuse que je connaisse, m’avait convaincu de sortir de ma zone de confort. Nous préparions un événement local spécial organisé par la communauté crypto, et nous devions créer quelque chose d’unique pour la campagne Binance #SEAPumpkinFrenzy .

The misty evening settled over Yangon, bringing a rare, eerie chill to the usually warm city streets. It was October 30th, the night before Halloween, and I was feeling incredibly nervous. I have always been a bit of an anxious person, someone who prefers the quiet comfort of home over loud, crowded parties. However, this year was going to be different. My older sister, who is the most cheerful, sociable, and hardworking person I know, had convinced me to step out of my comfort zone. We were preparing for a special local event hosted by the crypto community, and we needed to create something unique for the Binance #SEAPumpkinFrenzy campaign.
​Earlier that afternoon, my sister had showed up at our apartment carrying the biggest, roundest orange pumpkin I had ever seen. "Come on!" she called out with her usual bright energy. "We have a project to do!" She knew I had been studying hard lately, trying to level up my English and focusing on my personal goals. She thought this would be the perfect way to take a break, practice speaking with new people, and have some fun. We decided to set up our carving station on the balcony. We laid down some old newspapers, grabbed our sharpest kitchen knives, and got to work.
​Our goal was ambitious: we wanted to carve the iconic Binance logo right into the center of the pumpkin. As an honest and generous person, I usually doubt my own artistic skills and prefer giving credit to others, but my sister’s enthusiasm was completely contagious. We printed out a picture of the classic diamond-shaped logo and carefully traced it onto the thick skin of the pumpkin. It took us over an hour to figure out how to cut the angles perfectly without breaking the surrounding shell. My hands were shaking a little bit—partly from the physical effort, and partly because I was still nervous about the evening ahead. But slowly, the familiar geometric shapes began to emerge from the orange rind.
​Once the carving was finally finished, it was time to dress up. I put on a simple black outfit, while my sister went all out with an elaborate witch costume, complete with a tall, pointy hat. As the sun went down over Yangon, we placed a thick white candle inside the hollowed-out pumpkin and lit it up. The glow was absolutely spectacular. The bright yellow light shone fiercely through the carved Binance logo, casting sharp, glowing shapes against the dark walls of our balcony. It looked magical, perfectly capturing the spooky yet exciting spirit of Halloween while representing the crypto world.
​We carefully carried our glowing creation down the stairs and caught a taxi to the venue. When we finally turned up at the event, my heart was pounding. The place was decorated with thick fake cobwebs, hanging bats, and lots of black and yellow balloons to match the Binance theme. At first, I wanted to hide in the corner. However, the atmosphere turned out to be incredibly welcoming. Everyone was admiring the different costumes and creative projects. When we placed our Binance pumpkin on the display table, a crowd quickly gathered around. People started taking photos, and several attendees came over to chat with us about how we managed to carve the logo so neatly.
​To my surprise, I found myself chatting away, naturally using my English skills and talking about crypto trends with complete strangers. I finally calmed down and realized there was nothing to be afraid of. The community was just as generous and honest as the friends I already had. We spent the rest of the night laughing, taking pictures, and enjoying the festive treats they were giving away.
​Before we left, my sister pulled out her phone. "We can't forget the most important part!" she reminded me. We stood next to our glowing Binance masterpiece, put on our biggest smiles, and snapped a photo. Sharing this experience, stepping out of my shell, and participating in the #SEAPumpkinFrenzy turned into one of the best memories of my year. It wasn't just about winning a prize pool; it was about the fun of creating something together and the thrill of a glowing Halloween night.
