Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to all readers of Eliwupc's World!
For me, this year's celebration will be with my girlfriend on the hill beside Sembawang Town Council/Yishun Library.... more affectionately known as Lovers' Hill. This would be the 3rd year in a row we are celebrating there by hanging two rows of traditional paper lanterns between two trees. Such exhibit do draw praises from passers-by and negative comments from people who seems to be dissent that they are not the creators of such beautiful sight. Since starting this way of celebration, I have this thought of encouraging those who stop to admire the lanterns to do this too next year, or ,better, to make their own giant lanterns to display (Mainly for the older folks who are not working).... no prizes, no sponsors..... just start doing things for ourselves. Or maybe children can make their own lantern to display.... this will promote a closer relationship between the child and his family who help him out and prevent them from celebrating by burning candles, rubbish and anything burnable or throwing burning sparkles when they grow older.
Maybe I will start talking to admirers of our creations later this evening. And that reminds me to bring a few long sticks later to give out a few lanterns to 3 or 4 years old children who does not have a lantern in hand. Please don't rain.
