Is just historical

Eating mooncake while listening to "yua liang tai piau wo de jia" and staring on moon outside of my window, I suddenly feel I am so old....

I remember mid autumn was a time for lot of fun. I use to have parade with little bunny lantern....We walk the whole neighbourhood while sing the moon song. I remember how some neighbour will lay a table full of fruits as offering to the goddess of moon. It was once said that 2 god have fall in love each other and since it was forbidden in goddess world, they are seperated and only on the full moon of 8th moon in lunar calendar, they are allow to meet. This is why today is also consider as valentine day for some chinese. Well, not much people believe it nowadays after our astraounaut found there is nothing in moon except rock!

Beside parading, I remember i always play masak masak with my neighbour....Gear with 2 brick and one Milo tin cover, we melt few candle as oil for cooking. Simply find grass, wild chilli near the longkang, wild berries beside the drain and some mint leave and curry leave.....the aroma created was so nice.....

I remember how at the end of the day, we burn the candle and campak all the paper lantern and let it burn....We only keep our nice bunny, chicken, sailormoon, ultraman or what so ever shape lantern while the cheap paper lantern will never survive till next year festival.....

It was all old story....Is history now....Remember the past is so nostalgic...

How i hope time can be turn off and we are back to childhood where there is only happiness and no worries....

"Yua liang yuan, yua liang yuan, yua liang chou chai wo de jia"......Happy Mid Autumn....
