Happy Mid Autumn Festival

Yes, yes, happy mooncake festival and to my fren, classmate, assistant class rep….YIH JING, Happy Birthday to you too!!! May you have fun on this very special day of yours….so moon cake festival…..symbolizes….hm….not so sure actually, not gonna go so much details about it in case give wrong info. If I am not mistaken it is the eight month already for the Chinese calendar…. All I know is that we eat mooncakes…..and yea, I dun like the mooncake here….prefer my indo one, the more traditional one….jacqueline and I were saying modernization kinda sucks cos look at wat they did to the mooncakes...got tiramisu flavour, barley la and all sorts of flavour using the mooncake name……real meaning and identity of the mooncake is lost….oh well….wat to do, where there is demand and market, anything can be produced….

so last nite, we girls at home celebrated an early mid autumn festival….cos today, Friday, I will be going to town again, and then jac and jo have church plus edine will sitting for her toefl exams. So we decided to celebrate it earlier….had dinner with the guys too, not all, its like a gathering for celebrating this festival with the lodgians…gilbert, ivan, Jason, charles, amy, jo, jac, chang mei and edine…after dinner we actually went home and did our stuff….jac is busy with her work, me, just lazy cos of the haze which is bad bad bad, and got a bit of headache too, chang mei had cell group, amy has her moot court. So we decided not to play lantern, walk around last nite….then edine was saying Sunday la since I will be back by then but I told her Saturday la since Sunday will be too late and I dun mind not playing too…..but in the end we say Sunday…

everyone was doing their own work and I on the other hand, watch series of cos, lots waiting in line, one tree hill, house, smallville, greys anatomy and others. Then, edine was telling me, GOT PPL PLAY LANTERN….yea, and I went to the balcony, some of the tenants in my place apartment did play lantern at the park. Some lit candles along the walk way and indeed it was tanglung festival mood….so I say, lets just hang ours now since everyone is celebrating it. Light up our lanterns, hung it using wood, and light more candles at the balcony…it was nice….i mean, I actually enjoyed the feeling out that small balcony last nite, with lotsa candles and the dim environment…romantic I would say…well, I would say last nite was great not until my hair caught on fire…yes yes, my hair was on fire, actually I haven cut my hair this year, and its pretty long, so standing near the balcony with candles lit, taking pictures, looking at camera, I smell sth nasty and it was my fire on fire…..of course, dun imagine I am botak now or wat, just a lil bit….i guess that’s it about us girls celebrating our tanglung festival…it was fun, calming and of course, full of accidents like Joanne, already got accident 2 minutes after we lit the tanglung, and me, with my hair burnt…..PICURES ….taken using my not so high tech camera cos apparently the good one was with my sis and it’s the only camera that we have. …. And also, WE ARE IN OUR PJs already!!! gtg downtown now - 3pm -
