Friday, September 16, 2005 Mooncakes madness My house has another box of mooncake today. Came with a very nice wooden box and really nice paper bag. People are gettting really creative nowadays to market these mooncakes.I don't really fancy mooncakes nowadays. Maybe I have eaten too much in my younger days. Hehe! This Sunday is the MidAutumn Festival. Hope everyone get to eat mooncakes with their loves one under the bright moon light. Sob sob unlike me...!! A little history of Mid-Autumn Festival: According to the legend, Hou Yi won the elixir of immortality by shooting 9 suns out of the sky with his bow from the Jade Palace Emperor. But his wife Chang-O out of curiosity, took the pill. The pill made her lighter, and she floated up into the moon and lived there forever. People believes that on the 15th night of the eighth lunar month, Chang-O is at her most beautiful. The bright and shining moon represents her beauty on that night. I am also travelling north next week. To a place that I have never been in like perhaps 20 years. Let's go back to yesteryears...
