Happy Mooncake Festival!

Happy mooncake festival, or lantern festival, or whatever you call it... By the way, it should be Mid-Autumn festival. -_-"

Okay... Now I gonna switch to 'emo' mode...

Traditional mooncakes, lanterns, candles... Gone are those days.

Nowadays,

Traditional 'lotus-paste' mooncakes have been slowly replace by fancy variety flavoured mooncakes.

Sitting in the house compound under the full moonlight drinking tea has been replaced by BBQ parties drinking colas.

And the lanterns... and candles... I've seen them... I've played them... When I was young...

From paper lanterns, to plastic lanterns, then battery-operated lanterns, and now...

No lanterns...

From children holding lanterns in their house compound during lantern festival last time, to holding play-station consoles in their room during lantern festival these days, just like any other day.

Where is the traditional value of Lantern/Mooncake/Mid-Autumn festival these days???
