This year's Mooncakes Festival was rather quiet in my neighbourhood. Probably due to the haze, nobody felt like celebrating much.
Mamarazzi even forgot to get me a Tanglung (lantern). Last minute went to Tesco and Econsave...both also tarak sell.
Oh well....guess it's D.I.Y time. Got some 100Plus drink cans. She said these are similar to the Tanglungs that she used when she was a kid. But in the old days they used Milo tins ir Milkmaid Condensed Milk tin.
I didn't have much mood to have dinner but die die Papa and Mamarazzi said have to finish my dinner first or else straight to bed for me. Slurp up my noodles and off I went.
Me and my tanglungs . Ready to bike to my gf's house.
I called and called her but nobody answered. So early gone to sleep ah?
Nevermind la...I play by myself lo. Cabut Mamarazzi 's Pandan leaves and Lemongrass , pretend to make Satay. Who wants satay???
They said this year Red Moon...tarak saw moon pun...only black black sky...
Haze! Haze! Go away! Don't come back another day....
Here also, some places, the Mid-Autumn Festival celebration organise by Community Centre, they cancel it due to haze...

DeleteRed mooncake? Haha, sounds interesting.. Eh, same here, I also went to Aeon hunt for lanterns for the boys, no sell leh.. But I saw in Aeon in another branch (never thought of buying that time), RM39.90 for one, errr, mm seh tak buy leh, like so mahal like that hor..

Deleteaiyoh, too excited to play with candles and tanglung until Small Kucing didn't want to makan his noodles?? padan muka kena warned by Paparazzi and Mamarazzi, hehehe.. true lah, cannot play all the time mah, makan tidur shower study homework all must be done first before think of playing woh, okay?? :p
ReplyDeletebiasa la...when can play...father's name also forgotten liao punya leh
Deletewah, Mamarazzi made those aluminium lantern from 100-plus cans?? eih, looks so susah only, Uncle SK's time also already playing with lanterns bought outside woh, somemore battery operated with music woh, haha.. BTW, very dangerous kan cutting the aluminium can?? or maybe can use pomelo skin to make a lantern also woh..

DeleteCreative! Here people play lanterns and fly up the sky lanterns in gardens.

ReplyDeleteYa wor...hopefully we wont have to wait that long
DeleteSo this year because of the bad haze, Small Kucing played tanglung all by yourself? I actually like your D.I.Y tanglung.
