childhood memories...

how long have you not held a lantern and went around the neighbourhood prancing around with your neighbours, and attempting to outshine each other with your own ruddily made lanterns? how long have you not visited your nearby community centre/residens' committee in their lantern festival celebrations?

its the time for mid-autumn festival and its a festival for all to celebrate, so head down to the nearest celebration area and have a hell of a good time there! soak in the crowds, the atmosphere of freebies giving, off-key tunes sang by the kids and senior citizens alike, and the scenes of children scrambling after the lantern procession and attempting to burn their paper lanterns.

all thanks to the people, i had a great time tonight. xinxin, i missed your presence!

i grew up in a family where service is utmost. my father gave most of his extra time in his younger days to the nearby resident's committee, serving the community at large. and here am i, at the peak of my youth.
and i am going to follow in his footsteps, and aim to serve the community at large, be it overseas or local.
it felt a tad weird though, when i see familar faces i saw when i was a kid, working along together with me hand in hand, making the entire event a total success. lols.
