Mid Autumn Festival

Wishing all a Mid Autumn Festival.



Have eating mooncakes almost one month ahead make the day itself less of a festival I wonder?

Our family and extended family have met a few times to eat mooncakes and have some tea and pomelos the last few weeks. We also ate lots of mooncakes in the office, thanks to the vendors who provided them.

But the day itself, we did not do anything! Probably thanks to the haze that make us teary.

Kids carrying lanterns

We heard loud noises from the drums and cymbals of the Dragon Dance Troupe.

Out of curiosity, I went towards the sound and saw that the kids in the neighbourhood are all out carrying lanterns behind the long dragon.



It has been a long time since I carried one of those!

Just the other day, my colleagues were talking about lanterns and they only let their children play with plastic battery operated ones.

Their kids are young, and the kids seems to enjoy burning lantern after lantern instead of carrying them around. They somehow know their parents will give them another one to 'burn' when they burn their current ones. Oh no.....

If you are free, head down to Clarke Quay to see the beautiful Zodiac Lanterns.
They are beautiful.



There are 12 characters in the Chinese Zodiac, but I seem to have missed one when I was taking them.

If you are able to read Chinese, here's some descriptions about the Rabbit Character.
