The day my first employer changed their name to something else was also the first time I set foot on this island state. Famous for its strict implementation of laws, Singapore used to be my home for more than 2 years. Then I went home and came back after a year and four months.

Mid-Autumn Festival/Lantern Festival/Mooncake Festival

October 4, 2007

During the months of August and September, Chinese people from all over the world celebrates Mid-autumn festival a.k.a Mooncake festival. I am not really sure why there were lots of laterns all over Singapore (in Clarke Quay and Chinese Garden), and why the malls were full of stalls selling mooncakes baked by the cheapest bakeries to the high end hotels. I read a bit of the history about this but I guess, my readings has not helped me much about this festival. lol.

Being clueless of this festival, that didn't stop me from enjoying the colorful lanterns and "sinful" high cholesterol mooncakes! :)
