boon's log 3807.01: Happy Mid Autumn Festival

I blogged about the Mid-Autumn Festival some time back in September 2003. [click]


One of Ab's Lanterns...

Well, 4 years later, here we are again, but we've got one additional member in the family celebrating the Lantern Festival with us. It's Ab's first Mid-Autumn Celebration and she enjoyed it to the max. We attended 2 separate Mid Autumn Celebrations - both at respective grand-aunt's housing communities. At one of them she went on for almost 5hours straight without food or sleep! What a marathon. But after which she was beat and hungry. She truly enjoyed herself. All the grand-aunts and grand-uncles kept on bringing her around from lucky draws to puppet shows to giant lantern displays. IL and I just stayed put enjoying the mooncakes and the atmosphere - to be honest, we were so ready to get out of there and go home, but since Ab's having such a good time, we thought we'd stayed a little.

The second celebrations was rather mild compared to the first one. We just strolled around the park carrying Ab's lanterns while the adults had a go on the new exercise equipments in the park.


As with all lantern celebrations, it usually ends with kids playing with candles.

Here's wishing all boonspot readers a good time celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival with your loved ones...
