Happy Mid Autumn Festival

Mid Autumn is also call Lantern or Mooncake festival. It falls on the 15th day of the month of 8 on Chinese calender every year. In the city life today, I can't see kids running around on the road any more. Flash back memory in those days, while my grandma is praying at night, (usually after we had had our dinner) me and my brother together with neighbour, we play lantern and some games outside our house. And that created our childhood memories.

As time goes, lesser and lesser people play lantern. Even some only play inside their own house compound. I can see most of the house door were shut, switch on the air-con and watching TV. Mostly lantern were play at a gathered place rather than holding the lantern walk around the village.

Those days, we have toy biscuit (ang kong kia piah) and moon cake. Kids love sweet things, thus moon cake is our choice. Present day, I prefer plain toy biscuit, not that sweet. When I was young, 1 moon cake only cost RM 3 to 4 (with double york); today all the fancy fancy moon cake had came across. Cheese, durian, red bean, etc etc etc...... now 1 piece of moon cake cost RM 12 to 20! As the price keep hiking up each year. And bakery keep complaining raw material price increase. I had stop buying moon cake since the price hit more than RM 10 per piece. They say that moon cake raw material price increase, but moon cake can be sold with 25 to 50% discount on the last day. And I able to buy a moon cake from night market at RM 4 per piece. I still do think night market's moon cake is my choice. I wonder how much is the raw material price for the night market moon cake seller.

To buy a moon cake at RM 20, I rather give my self a try on Haagen-Dazs moon cake. Its very expensive but worth for a try. It taste great. So this year we have the most expensive moon cake in our life. Here is something to share with you.

You can see how sexy am I.

What else people do on Mid Autumn Festival? BBQ party! I had our BBQ party at home. Yeah enjoy, simple yet enjoy. I would also like to thank my in law family for making another family gathering bbq mid autumn party in Malacca. Was having a great time BBQing. Special thanks to my Aunty for inviting me to her house for another party. Thanks to Win Win.... for inviting me to her 3Q studio open house. My first time to your studio. Very artistic... you all really are artist. Simple, low cost equipment created a very artistic feel. Open my minds that, cheap doesn't mean not good, its just how you do it! Win win, you got it, just do it. All the best in your 3Q studio.
