what a great way to start the day, with 3 hours of sleep, non-stop lessons from 10am to 6pm, a test which i think i fared badly, and long, tedious lab assays.. and to end the day with another tuition..
at least i got to eat a small piece of mooncake.. and tomorrow, i will chomp down more of them.. =D
it used to be quite eventful during the festival when i was a kid.. i remembered, there were big family gatherings, where all the kids came together.. i even remembered once we all went to the Chinese Garden to see all the lantern displays..
there were even activities organised by the community centre, and all the neighbourhood kids came together to play.. walking around the neighbourhood with our paper lanterns lit up, and then to burn them up.. haha..
children nowadays are luckier.. now they can have fanciful lanterns with mickey mouse, winnie the pooh on it, or those battery-operated lanterns with music and lights.. what we used to have were those plain and old-fashioned cheapo lanterns.. X)
but as we grow old, we tend to forget, and reminisce about those simple, happy things that we did when we were kids..
what i'm trying to say is, there are many things out there that will tie us down, but there are other things, simple ones, that are just as important.. =) would you rather be happy, or get stressed over things like results? haha.. sounds like the nonchalant me, when it comes to studies.. haha.. =D
now i wish i could play with lanterns for a little while during the weekend.. but i have my practice, projects, reports and the packing.. =(
but even if i could, i won't be burning the lanterns.. i'm not going to worsen the haze condition here.. i can't even see the factories' lights behind the reservoir!!
