Happy Mid-Autumn Festival 2010

Yesterday, 22nd September 2010 was Mid-Autumn Festival and also the lovely mum's birthday.

I went back to home and had some celebration with the family at the Milwaukee Steak House (hope i spell it correctly). It was kind a surprising one because they didn't know that i will be going back.

Happy Birthday to Mummy.

Also, it was Mid-autumn festival programme such as playing lantern in the garden. I was wondering why there are so many names for this festival. Some call it Lantern festival and some call it mooncake festival and perhaps mid-autumn festival. But i prefer naming it Mid-Autumn festival because it feel closer to the chinese term 中秋节.

Besides playing lanterns, eating mooncakes become part of the requisite for mid-autumn festival. However, I dun really like to eat mooncakes except for the iced-skin(bing pi) one and the jelly type. But my mum makes many mooncakes for the relatives and friends each year. And i guess that's the reason why i am phobia of the mooncakes.

I was unable to join the chinese tea drinking session at home yesterday. Althought the lantern playing part has not enjoyed enough yet. Because i need to go back to the hostel. After back to the hostel, the assignment part has finish up my mid-autumn night.

The day before i've just talked to one of the old-friend and wished him Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. We recall back to few years passed where we celebrated the mid-autumn festival at one of the friend's house. He told me he misses that time which brings me back to the memories. It was so many years back and certainly i do miss it with no doubt. It was one of the most happy time chit-chatting, eating, drinking wine and laughing with friends in highschool. And now, some of them are studying at overseas, outstation or even working. Everyone is busy with their own routine and tasks. Meeting up with each other has become once in the blue moon.

Time flies. No one can go back to the past. What we can do is just to focus and utilise the present time fully to avoid regrets in the futures. But how many of us can really do it in practical ?

Last but not least, hope u guys enjoyed the mid-autumn yesterday.
