Mooncake anyone?

In celebration, mommie whipped up a feast for 10. She must have forgotten that there'll only be 5 of us dining! Haha. Any festival, be it for the Chinese, Malays or Indians, she finds a reason to celebrate through meals. Don't get me wrong, the family ain't complaining. We had all our favourite dishes: Steamed chicken, honey chicken, roasted duck, char siew and spare ribs, stir fry roasted pork and leek and mushrooms with brocolli. Mmm mmm.. and steamed yams too! Drool drool!

The li'l boy pokes mei-mei's nose just before I accompany him to 'play lantern'

He asked me a really smart question:

Boy: Yiyi, how do you play lantern?
Dreymer: You just carry it with a stick. And you walk around in the dark.
Boy: But Yiyi, why must we have a candle in there?
Dreymer: So we can light up the candle to illuminate the lantern (poor boy, I used a four syllabi word on him, like I have not confused him enough)
Boy: But why?
Dreymer: Umm.. use the lantern and point it to the floor. We have to look for ants!
Boy: But I don't see any ants! Where are the ants? (Looking at the ground)
Dreymer: ...... hey, look at the moon! So big and round!
Boy: (Distracted) yeah, it's so big!

See, I wasn't lying. It was full and round
