This year's Mid-Autumn has not been very nice, compared to the previous years. Imagine the Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia are celebrating Mid-Autumn under the thick haze, thanks to their neighbour, Indonesia, with their constant burning of forest by those money minded developers.
And thanks to the haze, it foiled my 1st invitation of my friends to Mid-Autumn gathering. Invited Lawrence and Jess Lin to have some lovely moonies at home. Mum serves them fried noodles with curry chicken, stir-fry veggies and braised sea cucumbers in sweet and sour sauce. Sad to say, Jess just had her wisdom tooth removed, that she is now unable to eat much thing, except for congee. =(
And it so happens that Dad brought home a box of SDS mooncakes from Johore Bahru, i served Lawrence and Jess with 3 moonies, all with single yolk: lotus paste with black sesame paste from SDS, Lotus paste and Shanghai mooncakes from Kum Lun Tai (another Malaysia household brand.) served together with Lipton Gold Tea from Kenya. While Lawrence loves the moonies with tea, Jess could only simply feast her eyes with the moonies, not on the lips. =(
Lawrence caught hold of the dvd of Road to Guantanamo, a docu-drama i bought recently. We watched it, and discussed what i've learnt from RP course onto the film. Well, by right, we should have Teresa Teng singing The Moon Represents My Heart on the stereo, but we had POWs on the discussion table instead.
And forget about looking at the moon, since Sister Moon was coughing away due to the haze. I bet Sister Chang-E and her lovely Jade Bunny must be coughing away, and Brother Wu Gang trying his best not to chop off the tree, since photosynthesis can help to cleanse the air, and produces more oxygen for the people in the moon, lest they died from breathing in too much toxics, CO and CO2 from the haze.
And mabey this words from Clarence could apply on that night itself. He asked: 'David, want me to draw a moon on the balcony?'
