This is really antique as it was taken at the Singapore river Mid-Autumn Festival 2004.



Browsing through the new photographs that I had took lately,a few memorable photographs on this year's Mid-Autumn Festival caught my eye.It took place on 18/09/2005, but I am just posting it now. It's very outdated right =( , but hope you will enjoy them =). They are all taken at the Xuang Lin Temple(Oldest Buddhist Monastry) of Tao Payoh(a town in Singapore)



For the benefit of those that are not sure of the origin of festival, I will provide a short but detailed explanation about it.Reunion of the whole family is the key to this festival celebrated by lanterns and mooncakes(a round festive pastry).



A lovely legend has made it even more mystical- Chang E,a beautiful maiden, ate the elixier of her evil husband who ruled ancient China a long time ago, to prevent eternal the suffering of the people. But for that, she flew to the moon and became the moon fairy thus staying there with her jade rabbit in solitude forever.To commemorate her kind deed they started the celebration to remember her and family reunion.From the picture below, you can see how popular the celebration is.



I am rather a person living in the past than that of the present.Looking back at my polytechnic results of three year, I had tried my very best and had achieved more less what I had hope.But, the only regard is not getting an 'A'. Soul-searching has to be done to rectify my mistakes and hope I will do better in the future to come.
