Mid Autumn Festival

Mooncake Festival falls on 3rd October, coincidentally have to attend a wedding dinner on the same day. Thus, for not missing to celebrate Mid Autumn festival, I have celebrated in advance on last Sunday - 20/09! I know it sounds a bit out of mind when our Malay friends are celebrating Hari Raya Puasa and I am celebrating Mooncake Festival (2 weeks in advance) on the same night! :P

I am not particularly like to eat mooncakes but I definately like lanterns; especially come in different colors, different sizes, different shapes and different characters! I am not trying to act cute nor act young.. but it just reminds me of my childhood which I'd choose a fish or butterfly shape lantern, light up the candle and gather with my cousins, siblings and neighbours to walk around with our lanterns on hand...

I hate battery operated lanterns! Eventhough they come with modern cartoon characters, handy and safer.. but just lack of the "authentic feel" and losing the meaning in playing lanterns (a traditionaly way). Conversely, I love paper lanterns and glass paper laterns, so unique, so beautiful!
