Someone said it's called the mid-autumn festival. But I've always known it to be mooncake/lantern festival >_< Because mooncakes and lanterns are all I know about this festival :P

This year, we celebrated it on 25th Sept. Just last Tuesday. And as with every year, we light up the house with lanterns. This year, no candles though :(

So feast your eyes with a couple of pics from the night :)

The source of fire for the lanterns' candles

If you are wondering why this lantern in the above pic looks so special, that's because my nephew tore it apart into two >_<

A mosquito coil is an essential. To ward off the mozzies :P



And then we have the lanterns.

Dragon and his lanterns >_<

The moon was bright and full that night. Pity I didn't have my tele lens with me.

And yes, that white blob IS the moon ... OOF :P

The never-fail-to-happen accidents on lanterns -_-"

Burned and fell to ground!

And the best part of the night ... the food! We had a little feast out in the porch. This time we had durian pancakes from the Mandarin Oriental hotel. And sweet potatoes (yam) dipped in a mix of soya sauce and fragrant garlic oil. And of course ... the MOONCAKE!

Check out that yolk! Eek-kekeke...

The night was so hot that almost at the end, we were all so sweaty and sticky.



They look like dancing, don't they? >_< But actually, she said she was so sticky, pretended to get stuck to the wall, and was asking the little fella to help pull her off *LOL*

And that pretty sums up the fun we had that night :)
