mid autumn festival seems boring to me now. all the festival stuff such as candles, lanterns and other fire playing materials don't seems appealing to me anymore but cant deny i enjoy those stuff very much just about 5 years ago... i am wondering whether my thought is in a majority group or the minority one cause i knew that some people do enjoy it although after secondary school. i am not saying that those people are childish. please don't get it wrong. in fact, i am so happy to see them playing those stuff enjoyably.
fire playing materials are not able to attract me anymore but the festival food such as moon cakes still do. what moon cakes i actually referring is definitely not the traditional one. i am referring the 'ping pei'! I ate a lot of 'ping pei' for this year which is also my 1st time trying it. i never ate ping pei before because my dad is the traditional minded person that believes original always the better choice. so i should be thankful to my sis who successfully persuaded my dad buying 'ping pei'. i heard that baskin robbin has created ice cream moon cake this year but sadly i don't get to try.. perhaps there will be an opportunity to try it next year.
honestly, the main reason that make me felt boring is actually related to those persons whose we celebrate with. there is no hate or unlike issues but me and my cousins just never get close together after we grown up. but for sure i will still attend this celebration every year because this is a tradition and not attending it is kind of socially incorrect in behavior. i predict this awkwardness between me and my cousins will remain the same for next year and another next year..
do you know..
