The story of Chang'e and her flight to the moon etc… so yes Mooncake Festival!
We people were having fun.
On the night of the festival, we went on streets in the Park. With a variety of lanterns under the full moon, was there one? haha I was busy with the
The girls and I each got a candle and place it on the box and made a wish after which we place it in the pond seeing it DROWN but it was supposed to drift further above water level, failed attempt.
Mimicking the “throw a coin into the magical well” to appeal to the god of whatever… make our dream come true!
To speak off, the story behind this festival is:
About the 10 suns circling together, causing the earth to burn.
Emperor ???, commanded Houyi to shoot down all but one of the suns.
Thus with the completion of his task he rewarded Houyi with a pill that granted eternal life but Chang’e somehow or another took it and she flew up to the moon and some weird hare beside her right?
Omg, don’t know lah, anyway, durian mooncakes are nice. Also next year, I know what are the essential to bring to ensure all the lanterns are fully make used off. Apparently, we had this string which kept snapping due to the heat from the candles. Boohuhuhuhu.
So cute right they two, acting damn shy upon seeing each other for the first time. (Left, Joy my cousin and Right, Su's youngest sister, Amelia)same age and see how dark joy is compared to Amelia, and see how small Joy's face is too! haha, genes, genetic genotype, suddenly being in SAS (school of science) is a terror for me.
