I think today is the Lantern Festival right? I saw many children holding a lantern and walking around the street! 2 years ago, I'd be probably at Stagmont Park there playing fireworks, candles and burning lanterns! YES, BURNING LANTERNS! Hahahahahaha. But I'll never get sick of it. I like the thrill of igniting things! HAHAHA. That's my sicko prurience. In fact, majority of the kids love it. The flame amazes them.
Somehow as I grow up, I don't love to burn candles anymore but stroll on the street with a brightly lit lantern. Last year, spongebob* came all the way down to my house to accompany me on lantern festival. It was really fun even though we walked for nearly an hour. Hahaha. I look just like a kid at that time!
This year, a bit cold leh. I think nobody at my age will still have the thought of walking around with a lantern. I shall drop the idea then.
:(
Facts
* The 15th day of the 1st lunar month is the Chinese Lantern Festival.
* The 15th day is the first night to see a full moon.
* At this time, people will try to solve the puzzles on the lanterns and eat yuanxiao (glutinous rice ball) and get all their families united in the joyful atmosphere.
So which date in the English Calender is the Chinese Lantern Festival?
Even though I got no particular liking for glutinous rice ball, I'm craving for it now so that I can have the Lantern Festival-feel. It's 9 plus now and I'm forcing my mom to cook for me. She doesn't seem willing to. I guess I'll sneak out for late night glutinous rice ball supper then.
BATH TIME!
