Lantern Festival

cimg5687

Just look at this!! My eyes probably look big when I saw them. I convinced Anu to buy it. She loved it. Oh we shared by the way. It just reminds me of mama (it is what my cousins and I call our grandma). I recall following my mama to a shop where she bought one for me. It was back where I was born and mama's hometown. I also recall that she used to make these in the kitchen too. All the vague memories of being in the kitchen. I bet I was being nosy and walking around, disturbing mama. Hehehe.. Back then, I didn't know how hard the adults had to work to feed us. I had to say I take for granted that my parents would be giving me until.. I am not sure when. Definitely when I started earning my own money. 'So this is how hard they work at work, bring home the money for the kids and if there are some left, for themselves.' It's not that I just realise. I did realise a long time ago but I left it too long to think more and do something about it. Sigh.. for me, I think I have to go through an experience in order to realise it and take immediate action. If I don't, I will never realise the situation.


Anyway, I should snap back into lantern festival mood. So, I haven't been to lantern festival in Christchurch before. Yea, was my first time. Sad huh.. So the festival isn't that bad, some food stalls here and there, retail stalls and lots of people. There were some songs played so it makes the atmosphere better. =P

I have heard advertisements from tv and read about it in story books about herpes simplex but I never really google it to know more about it. I mean, it really depends on individual right? I shall say no further about it as I assume my readers to know more than I do. I shall continue reading about it then. I need to cut my finger nails. They are getting longer. Need to trim them. =P
