Mid-Autumn / Lantern / Mooncake Festival

I'm so sleepy in the office, i have to resort to bloggin to keep myself conscious. Hate Mondays, but anyway, this entry is abt last Friday so we shall get started.

Last friday was the Annual Mid Autumn Festival when the moon is at its biggest and brightest and where all families are supposed to unite. (Vv difficult these days due to globalisation), some pple call it the lantern festival (becoz the children would carry lanterns for fun) or the mooncake festival (the mooncake is a seasonal food, if u eat it at other times of the year, u're crazy or unorthodox).

For your information, I did none of wad i WAS supposed to do.

1. Admire the moon - Cannot make it. The moon retreated coz gahmen say muz avoid vigorous outdoor activity. So cannot see moon.
2. Reunion with family - Was with the St john family, meeting abt the rest of the year and with totally starving pple (aka stanley)
3. Carry lantern - Cannot coz i carry camera. (see photos below)
4. Eat mooncake - Vv expensive to buy the snow skin ones and i hate the traditional ones.

Below are photos, childish or not, but it shows the hardworking pple of St john celebrating the festival tgt.

After all the lanterns were lighted.
