Where?


Today is the day (*ahem*. I mean Mooncake Festival). Where were you during the Mid Autumn/Mooncake Festival over the last few years? Most of the time I were outside Penang. This year, I won't be in Penang either, but I'm still in Malaysia.
Mid Autumn Festival :
2001: can't remember where was I..
2002: Kelantan, Malaysia
2003: Germany
2004: China
2005: Penang , Malaysia
2006: Brunei Darussalam
2007: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
2008: ??? (Sarawak?)
I wonder where will I be the next Mooncake Festival in 2008? Will I be in Sarawak? Time will tell. I haven't spend mooncake festival at home for ages. I guess the last time I spent mooncake festival together with my family in Sarawak was.. mmmm...15 years ago? Gosh..
