Gladys was born to this world last year this day..and coincidentally today is the 15th day of the 8th lunar month (中秋节). It should be a happy occasion.. with the kids playing with candles, carrying the lanterns and munching mooncakes. Instead, the family went to a close relative's wake and my mil is also in a terrible mood swing. The whole atmosphere just isn't right anymore.
We headed home and brought our kids down for a stroll.. There were mid-autumn activities at the temple near my house.. Denver is not interested in carrying the lantern tonight. He was eager to see the lion & dragon dance (舞龙, 舞狮).. so I hold his lantern instead :p. We walked towards the dance troops and the kids were so excited when they finally saw them! hmm..I think Gladys was a bit shocked cos the drums were too loud! Still, it was a very pretty scene.. children & adults holding the lighted lanterns, lion dance troops, folks singing on the stage and a 'not so full' moon... :)
