This semester seems so harsh...
But's over now..over now* hohoho
And I'm going home again...
people always say that I go back too frequently,,
well......am i ? I don't thing i'm homesick''' I have many friends here and I enjoy the life here,
however still I miss the memories and the people of where I grow up,
One year ago I left, and came to a new envirnment by myself, I've no friends here, no relatives and never been here before. I wonder now can I be so brave to live alone...??
Time passes really fast,
Three semesters have gone already.
It's so excited that after you paid efforts and struggled for the whole 12 or 13 weeks and can go back to meet your family and your old friends, eat at the restaurants that you familiar with and sleep on your old bed~~feel so gd.
HAHA, I AM LEAVING TODAY=]
p.s. Thx vien for look aftering my kitty.

"Mid Autumn" yeaaaa?

I LOVE MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL!!

It also known as "Moon Festival", which is kind of traditional Chinese festival, at the 15th August of Chinese lunar calendar,,so it's around September or October every year. It was used to celebrate the success of a revolution in the past. In history, people put some small pieces of paper into the mooncakes for communication for the revolution. But today mooncakes have turned into a "must-eat" item of the festival. And there are so many different favours, beside the traditional egg-yolk fillings, we now have green tea, coffee, chocolate, mango, strawberry......so creative and so deliscious! Incredible!! Here in sydney there're some food stalls and supermarkets start selling these mooncakes now,coooooool ~ check it out in China Town!!

On that day, kids play lanterns and candles on the streets, usually in a group of friends. Since I started schooling, I hang out with my friends on that night every year!! It used to be a school day and we hv to go to school in the morning but it's really excited on that day coz everyone just planning how are we gonna celebrate after school. The next day must be a public holiday so we can play till midnight or ever overnight~~

You know what?? Hong Kong teenagers are so crazy....so am I. We always melt the candles in a metal mooncake box and wait until it becomes very very hot, and put(should be spray) some water to the box....than the fire will immediately explode to 10 or 15m high......so exciting...but I never dare to do that but just stand away to watch the boys to play such dangerous game. Actually it's super dangerous... Each year there're many people got burnt. Therefore recently the government set up the law, not allowing people doing that again.....But still we like to burn....burn the paper lanterns instead.

For familys, the mid-autumn festival has another special meaning. As that day it must hv a full moon, it signifies reunion of a family. Chinese people like to hv a dinner with all family members gather together, after dinner, chat and eat mooncakes under the moon. Interesting right? I remember one year there was a eclipse just right on the same day.....so everyone just went to the beach or some peaks to look at that....so nice to hv such an experience. And how luckly this year I can go back home to celebrate and hv dinner with my family. [Reunion]hahaha=]

But I guess to Australian, it sounds a bit weird......the climatic system is totally opposite with the Northern Hemisphere....so coming up should be spring and summer. Mid-Autumn is far far away......yea, exactly! If I am staying here in Sydney, I doubted that whether I can ever know which day is the festival.....this year is the 6th October!!Remember that!!

Also, there are so many community activities, performances, games, lantern exhibitions.....too much to remember! REALLY SPEND SOMEDAYS TO HONG KONG to feel that amazing atmosphere!
