Message: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival 2009!!!

Mid-Autumn Challenge


Hello guys! Wanted to say Happy National Day but turned out that I didn't have the time to do so because of a washing machine situation. I was glad that I watched the firework live and I still got to find a good spot, except that there was one selfish woman smoking behind me while everyone was watching!

Anyway, this message is to greet you guys a very happy Mid-Autumn festival and do enjoy your reunion dinner with your friends or relatives! A warm reminder, don't eat too many mooncakes, they are very high in cholestrol and carbohydrates (that is mostly the sugar)!!!

I just had 2 and a quarter just now, feeling so unhealthy!


Something for you guys to play: Name the things that you can see in the picture above and other things you may eat during Mid-Autumn festival. Leave comments.

Enjoy learning!

  2. You are right, there are a few more in fact.
    From top left corner, the lotus paste is on a scale.
    Next to it there is a teapot. Behind the teapot, there is a type of plant called the creeper(vines).
    Then on the top right corner, you have the bamboo (sun)blinds.
    At the bottom left corner, you should see some lotus seeds (the white colour ones) and a black thingy just right at the bottom, showing only the top half of itself, and that is the "Water Caltrop", which looks like the shape of horns.

    One thing that you may also eat but it is not in the picture, is the mini-yam.
