to everyone....

happy mooncake/lantern festival~~ :D

as a kid, i used to love this day of the year. i mean, lanterns and candles? it's fun to watch those pretty candlelights burn in the dark. though the cleaning up is gonna be a little messy. burnt candles here and there. and the lanterns!! we used to play with those paper made lanterns. it's kinda troublesome to light them and we always end up burning them. i have no idea how many lanterns i've burnt/destroyed over the years of my childhood. not forgetting my siblings share too.

then my parents bought us lanterns that can be lit with batteries. some come with songs too. you just switch on and it'll sing for you. fuyoh. so modern. haha. no more burnt lanterns from then on.

but now, we no longer celebrate this day like we used to. no more lanterns. and sometimes no mooncake even. do you know they cost a bomb these days. freaking expensive. tsk tsk. i missed those days where we would go walking around the neighborhood with lanterns lighting our path. it was much safer last time. and i was a kid. things like this excites me. not any more i guess.
