Moon Cakes Anyone?

They call it Mid-Summer or Mid-Autumn celebration. I cant really remember what it was. But anyway, to my surprise, the Malaysian students didn’t do anything special on a large scale to commemorate the event.

It was going to be something of a new tradition that the Chinese Malaysians and maybe some sporting others got together to have some moon cakes and then parade around North Campus with lanterns. To me the gathering was fine but the walking around in the night with lanterns like a funeral convoy wasn’t very amusing to me….especially if you’re doing it in a foreign country where the vast majority might interpret your activity as a criminal offence.

I was on the way back from a ministry meeting at church when I saw a very large and low-lying moon. I quickly scrambled back to my car so I could get home to my photo equipment to get some shots.

By the time I got back, the moon had gotten smaller but I still managed to squeeze in some shots. Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you….THE MOON.
