Mooncake festival

Astonauts already went up the moon ! Result : nobody there ! Are we still need to pray ? Anyway it is still a good day to celebrate this mooncake festival, a remembrance day !

Mooncakes started to be seen in the market although still celebrating the ghost festival in last month. The department store, shops and the manufacturers sell different types of the mooncakes and also the lanterns. It is not cheap unless home made. Children are so happy because they can choose the lanterns that they likes or some even make it theirs' own lantern in house or school.

Mooncakes festival is not a practise public holiday for Malaysian.

Yesterday evening, when I went to took dinner, I saw many Chinese bought the fresh fruits, flowers from the market and the particular fruits and flowers shops. They prepare all these items and pray to the Moon Goddess Chang E for tonight.

Anyway, mooncake itself is the core. Each mooncake price is not cheap for nowadays. I bought an assorted fruits and nuts mooncake for RM13.90. Each mooncakes filling is different. The consumers will choose the nice taste mooncakes for theirs' family members.

Some of the Chinese still praying to the Goddess with put an altar outside of the house, put all the mooncakes, pamelo, flowers and pray with joss sticks.

Some of them even make the party and invites relatives and friends to join. They will sleep late at night. If the next day is fall on the schooling day, the parents will mostly ask the children go to sleep first after playing and enjoying taking the lanterns.

Full moon is beautiful and when celebrating with different and beautiful lanterns will boots up the environment. Calm, cool and beautiful night.
