Paper lanternsOriginally posted by Rhonda:Are you sponsoring the prizes? -
basically, how much mooncakes are we talking about here?
each mooncake i'm going to get is about 8 inches in diameter and 2 inches thick... it's made up of pure bean filling with rendered lard.. pastry is flaky and also, lard is used in the pastry..
it's obscenely sweet and unreasonably delicious...
seriously.. coz going to buy the thing in 2 weeks' time.. also going to get 4 boxes to blanjah the office people (too bad not halal) and a couple of boxes for the home gluttony purposes -
Want to share this short poem with you guys.
On the surface it seems to be a normal, maybe even childish poem. But if you read it carefully, it has a very meaningful message for us. (Esp. for those in Club 30)
Only The Moon
When I was a child I thought
The new moon was a cradle
The full moon was grannyÂ’s round face
The new moon was a banana
The full moon was a big cake.
When I was a child
I never saw the moon.
I only saw what I wanted to see.
And now I see the moon
ItÂ’s the moon,
Only the moon, and nothing but the moon.

It's a good idea to Shang Yue and Ying2 Shi1 Zuo4 Dui4...
missed the good old days of lantern riddles.
Last time used to go cha2 guan4 (tea house) to celebrate the event. Those were the days...

Do you guys think we should bring paper lanterns along? We all wear backpacks and carry lanterns like gi nah pi!
And how about everyone bring along one chinese poem (with hanyu pinyin, ah! compulsory! Or else I cannot read! ) and we pretend to be Li Bai's tu di?!
AAAaaaahhh-HARHARHAR!!! -
