中秋節
-------
中秋節 again in 2007, real fast...time does flies & it waits no man
this time as it fall on Tuesday 25 September 2007, most of us (my siblings) didn't manage to take long leave just to go back for the 中秋節 festival.
as I'm busy with my office system migration & go-live this month, i better standby & be prepared than to take a week long leave.. hence i go back before 中秋節 period.
while my younger brother n sister will be back on 中秋節 as informed.. but somehow, my sis have exams during that period, hence cancel off the trip back to hometown, so does my younger brother.
when we call back that night sending regards, my mum sarcastically (as she always does) inform us that what's the point of bearing so many children's when on big festive season, none coming back?
of course to them, 中秋節 & Chinese New Year is a big events.. .but i won't agree on 中秋節 when no such public holiday on 中秋節, is it worth the effort to rush back just for the 中秋節?
for a day?
or worth taking the whole week leave off for this 中秋節?
somehow.. even at my hometown, the 中秋節 is basically a forgotten tradition
normally what we do is :
open-up a table at balcony, pray to the moon
then sit there a while, n go back sleep...
what's the point if i can't even play lanterns & lite up candles?
no atmosphere at all...
candles.. my mum will say dirty her house lar, this lar, that lar... haiz...
probably to them, not going back for such events is not filial.. time for them to open-up their mindset & be more open minded.
somehow i always disagree with the grumbling of those old folks that keep back-stabbing their own children's, saying they're not filial, heartless, useless, etc...
to me (or overall), how yr child behave & their attitude towards their parents.. their parents also should bear heavy responsibilities on such attitude.
when something goes wrong or their children's rebellious, they should do some soul searching : why such thing occured & not blaming their siblings or their children
u all may disagree but i have a point to prove, at least..
else.. u'll know when u have kids
in SG, do have some events at chinese garden, etc.. but i still those in taipei
so grand, so nice & so great..
this year.. i had a simple dinner at waraku and have a walk/stroll with yiyi
