Those yesteryears of playing lanterns and eating mooncakes, sometimes watching Chinese movie together on tv with family during mid autumn festival are long gone. Now it is just another ordinary day.
ReplyDeleteYa now because there are no children in the family so no celebration.
Deletenot just the children...Last time the elderly will sit outside (at garden or car porch) after dinner to enjoy the full moon and watching children play or just chat with the neighbors. Nowadays, everyone just stay indoors and sent greetings via whatsapp.
DeleteThat is what I meant. Without below 21 years old children around in the house, the elderlies and older children will not be bothered to have any celebrations because they have already been there and done that.
DeleteIf got grandchildren around, the elderlies grandparents and parents will join in the celebrations because want to create new memories for the grandchildren.
The mini mooncake is so cute! It is ideal, just eat one and be done with it LOL! I remember those years as a child, me and the neighborhood kids would walk around with lanterns. I wonder if kids of today do this. Nowadays, I also like to eat dinner early especially weekends.
ReplyDeleteYes the children still walk around gated guarded communities such as condos with their lanterns as the residents association will organise the celebrations.
DeleteCute mooncakes. I would have assumed that kind of tube contains the tausar type of pastries.
ReplyDeleteYou mean those tambun mung bean pastries?
