After almost 5 years in Russia, this is my first time celebrating mooncake festival at home. Even though we did not make it big, but this year mooncake festival means much more to me. Throughout the years, everyone grew up and has changed, so do I. This is the first celebration I celebrate this year as a different individual, a cancer survivor. For the past few months, it has been very tough for me but I went through also. I hope all the cancer patients who are undergoing treatment right now, please don’t give up. For life, there is still a long long way to go, and there are a lot of things to accomplish.

    *K bought me these beautiful yummy mooncakes from Hong Kong. I heard from my aunt that this is the best mooncake brand in Hong Kong.
    I remembered few years back, she brought some home. (And I tell you hor, these mooncakes are not as sweet as those sold here. Some are sugar-free.) But so wasted because I couldn’t taste it’s sweetness this time. Next year or next next year, I hope I could eat it myself and give comment about the taste. P/s: Maybe Misha can bring some back for us to try? ^^

    Time passes so quickly hor? It feels like just yesterday when we were young, running around with colorful lanterns. Back then, every year I have my own theme for lantern. I think the most beautiful lantern I ever had was a butterfly lantern which the body part is a bit square-ish so that it will protect the candlelight from the wind. I used to keep it until about like 7 years ago, my sister burned it accidentally. And I used to have one ninja turtle lantern too when I was about hmmm.. standard 2 or 3.

    Looking at these happy children playing, makes me miss my childhood a lot, a lot. I love to be a child, play like a child and I am still a big child inside this adult body. I love children very very much for unknown reason. Perhaps it was the condition that I grow up in influenced me. Since young, I always wanted to grow up to be someone who can protect other children. I think that most adults are bad, always bullying us that are at younger age. Even when we go buy food also want to cheat our money.

    Maybe in the next post, I will write more about my childhood. Hehe, well it might be kinda boring because I’m a boring stupid girl with no life. Lol.

    Happy Mooncake Festival everyone!!!~

The mooncake really look nice than here. You know, I think Our moon cake is more waste year by year. People buy so many mooncake as gift for friends, family or loves. But, end up, every family have at least 2 -5 boxes (1 boxes = 4 pieces, some even contain 6 pcs). How to finish it?

further,the price is increase as the packaging is getting better and better. Compare to previous time, 1 boxes mooncake only cost RM 20, now cost me RM 60! …OMG!
