Mid Autumn Festival on Sunday!

I really miss sunshine. Mr Sun has been unable to visit us because of haze. Haze Haze, when will you go away? Can't believe that after so many weeks, haze is still with us! And what's worse is that, it has worsen!!! Sigh....

It was Mid Autumn festival on Sunday. And because of haze, we didn't get to see the big, round, bright moon. Man, haze steals away both my sunshine and moonlight! T___T  

Although the air was polluted, but it didn't stop us from celebrating. The problem with us is that, we will change our lifestyle to suit the situations. Not that it's bad but sometimes, others will take advantage of our tolerance... like suffering from Haze for 18 years?!  

Anyway, back to our happy celebration. At home, we only eat moon cakes with egg yolkS. So after dinner, i cut one with TWO egg yolks. One yolk for me and one for mum so we don't fight. Once, we cut a mooncake with only one egg yolk and my mum said she she wanted the part with bigger yolk. Then I lit up the lanterns and we hung few traditional colourful lanterns at the car porch . They looked soOOooo beautiful in the dark!

Yummy!

Colourful lanterns

This year, my friend and I decided to visit the moon cake festival food fair at Carpenter Street. I am usually not so keen in any kind of fairs because i don't like to spend my precious time in the traffic jam. But moon cake festival fair at Carpenter Street is a different story because... when else do you get a chance to walk in the middle of the street without having to worry about cars? 

The old street came alive with beautiful lanterns and food stalls selling Chinese tit bits to Tuak (rice wine). There were also kung fu performance, Malay dance and even ang mo playing sape! Cool! I really like that people of all races were gathering in one place to celebrate! I love the happy atmosphere and what's more, the air was full of food fragrance. I like that I can take my time to appreciate the old buildings, opera stages, temples... I really like my hometown!

Old street --- Alive!
