Mooncake festival

Mooncake festival is one of my favourite festivals not solely because of the mooncake I get to eat during this occasion but it always gives me an impression of family reunion and reunited when this day comes.XD The round moon is such a nice symbol to represent the feeling of home and the warm family members it consists.

Speaking about mooncake festival,it is getting more commercialised and modernised with the invention of new flavours of mooncakes as well as the more "canggih"
lanterns.I still remembered when I was young,I used to play the traditional kind of lantern which was made by coloured paper or maybe something better than that,the plastic ones.



My mom just bought an electronic lantern for my niece recently.When you push up the button and the music starts to begin,of course,nowadays the lantern manufacture has improved a lot because not only do I hear chinese traditional songs but they have now included some nurturing songs as well.
Compared to todays' kids..I know my young time was.....



*out*
There wasn't even a Hello Kitty lantern during my times .

Be it outdated,I still prefer my times where I could be so anxiously waiting for the arrival of mooncake festival and had a joyful night playing candles and lanterns with my sisters,celebrating it with relatives which gave me a better feeling of the significance behind this festival-人圆月团圆 .I bet todays' kids have definitely missed out the great fun and the special feel we felt for this day.=) Hopefully the new generation never forgets the story about the greatman for his sacrifices which contributed to the occurence of Mooncake festival and understands the values the story it contain,which is part of the beauty of chinese culture.


Happy Mooncake festival and never forgets to eat mooncake-Pui Mun's advice.
