Children busy playing with lanterns of different shapes, sizes and styles…..
Tonight, the soft glow of lanterns will illuminate the front porches of Chinese families celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival.
While the adults sip Chinese tea and appreciate the bright full moon, kids will be given the rare green light to play with matches to light up the the colourful candles and lanterns.
The lanterns – paper, plastic or fabric in assorted shapes, size and styles, are easily available in the market these days.
For the past few weeks, shops in the bustling Petaling Street were offering a variety of lanterns that were bound to catch the eyes of passers-by.
There do have a plastic one, which sings when the switch is turned on, is longer popular as it was, although it is still produced based on the latest animation figures. As they are battery-operated, they are perfect for toddlers, but those that had withstood the challenge of changing times are still the paper ones imported from China.
Adorned with simple Chinese painting strokes and unassuming draping tassels, the dainty lanterns are must-haves for many to mark the festival that falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month
The celebration also meant that there would be chicken and roasted pork on the table, which were considered a luxury in the olden days.
As a kid, it was very fun to play. We’d decorate the house compound and hang the lighted lanterns all over the place.
This year, I was not at home because I have a buffet dinner at Hotel Equotorial Kuala Lumpur for Dial and Dine with a couple of friends. As I was aware, all my family’s and my cousin friends was at home and they was exicted
