THE TRADITIONAL "OX" FEATURE LANTERN
THE CANDLES SOLD NOWADAYS IS LESSER IN QUANTITY
The Mid Autumn festival is coming soon, and yet, my sister's wedding date is getting nearer and nearer. I really couldn't sense any festive season or celebration yet, perhaps due economy is not so good, where everyone complaining that this is a time of another coming recession.
I have bought 2 boxes of mooncakes, 1 box from Elken for own consumption, as i like the unique flavors that they sell and another 1 box from Tai Thong, that i used to buy, for Jeanne's babysitter. Carmen already plays with her electronic Pooh bear lantern for 2 consecutive years.The lantern is still there this year, except i left it at my parents' house last year. Really have to thoroughly find where is it now!
And now, her Ah Yi bought 1 new lantern for her, it's an OX lantern symbolised the year of OX this year! They lit up the candle and play with it! Finallyby now, she can experience the new traditional lantern with a lit up candle that we used to play during our childhood, while the old Pooh bear lantern now passed over to her sister Jeanne. I wonder whether Jeanne knows how to appreciate it at 4 months old now!
