MAF this year was pretty good, got to spend more time in the kitchen, more time with mom and dad, more time with friends, more time with myself. It's a month of a couple of new beginnings - new friendships, new skills, new opportunities, and finally, renewed chances.
I wished I had more time that night of MAF though. Got home pretty late, but mom and dad waited to have tea and mooncakes together. We had those my sister and jiefu got for us - they weren't around in person, but nevertheless, a heartfelt-presence. <3
Dad hung lanterns (yes those with the candles burning in them) in the balcony - a very pretty and heart-warming sight. But one got burnt! A pretty red one. This wasn't much of a horror 'cause I was too busy with the mooncakes I didn't notice something caught fire in the balcony. On the average we burn one every year. We should buy more.
As much as I would love to, I didn't carry lanterns or burn candles or sparkles this year. But I had two light sticks and a nice walk around a park. THERE WERE KIDS WHO WANTED MY LIGHT STICK - NO!! MINE. :D Yes perhaps next year, next year there shall be some real fire.
As my memory rest
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends.
