中秋节快乐!

八月十五

A few things will of course be missed when one is away from home. Well, this includes today. It's the mid-autumn day for Chinese where one would celebrate with the family- eating moon cakes, drink tea, playing the lanterns. Happy moments. 

Instead, this year I celebrated in a mini way by visiting my neighbor and eat moon cakes and drink tea. It's was enjoyable. We chat away about Korean drama while drinking tea. LOL!~

There was also a school event about this festival held in my school on the 10 Sept organised by the Chinese association. The plays and dance were very interesting. I especially enjoyed one senior group where it was a story about 4 friends who went up a Hot-Air balloon. 

The story goes like this:

Once upon a time, on a faraway, 4 close friends would meet up each year during this festival. There was one Chinese fashion Fairy-dressed girl, a young inventor, a young man with a fan and another cute girl.

So in the first year, all of them met up and the inventor created a hot-air balloon. The 4 friends went on it. Up on the sky, they saw the beautiful land and everything under them. All of a sudden, blistering thunders came by. However, the inventor only brought 3 parachutes, he forgotten the other. Ladies First. In order to be fair, the inventor would ask a question and they would need to answer it to get the parachute. So the first 2 questions were answered correctly by the girls and they had the parachute and jumped down. Then when the inventor asked the young man with the fan a question, the young man could not answer and he was pushed down from the hot air balloon leaving the last parachute for the inventor.

The second year came by, the 3 friends were remorse as the young man with the fan died. To their surprised, he lived! Die hard eh? And off they ride on another new hot-air balloon. So on another mid-autumn festival, they saw the land and everything beautiful under them. However, suddenly, a flock of birds came by and they had to jump down from the hot air balloon again. As the inventor did not know that his friend lived, therefore he only brought 3 parachutes. They used the method as they did last year. Q&A time. Results?: The first 2 questions were answered correctly again by the girls and they had the parachute and jumped off. Then when the inventor asked the young man with the fan a question, the young man could not answer and this time he volunteered to jump down himself from the hot air balloon leaving the last parachute for the inventor.

The third year came. And the 3 friends again hoped that their friend live. Sure enough, he did. And they went up on a new hot air balloon created by the inventor. They saw the land and everything beautiful under it. And they chatted away about the latest trend in games and stuff. It was hilarious when they talked about angry birds and played the game on the Big pillow iphone 4. To their surprise, suddenly, they real gigantic size angry birds came and attacked the hot-air balloon. While the inventor was searching for the parachutes, the young man with the fan  volunteered to jump down the hot air balloon due to his passed experience. After he jumped, the inventor said, WAIT! This time I brought 4 parachutes. But it was too late. LOL~~~ It was really funny on how the seniors acted. Really salute them! 

So, I wish you Happy Mid-Autumn Festival! 中秋节快乐!
