This year, I was in Penang during Mid Autumn Festival or Mooncake Festival (which falls on Sunday, 15/9/2008), but I didn't really celebrate it.. In fact, most of the time I was outside Penang during Mid Autumn Festival
2001: can't remember where was I..
2002: Kelantan, Malaysia
2003: Germany
2004: Jingzhou, China (taking the Yangtze River Cruise)
2005: Penang , Malaysia
2006: Brunei Darussalam
2007: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (had dinner at Thai Restaurant in MVM together with Angeles)
2008: Penang, Malaysia
When I looked out of the window, I saw the full moon.. Just as I started shooting, the cloud started blocking the view.
Within few minutes, the cloud blocked the view of the full moon.. Such a gloomy Mooncake Festival in Penang island. How's the weather elsewhere?

I kinda like the second picture, the clouds added that mystical quality to it. It was a clear day over here.
ReplyDeletei didn't see the moon because I was in Melbourne busy in my apartment probably. lol.
ReplyDeletechev,
ReplyDeleteIn Miri, we couldn't even see the moon. Probably it's playing hide and seek. :P

At least I can get a glimpse of the full moon, although just for a short while. The moon came out early that day.. Can see the moon around 7 pm when the sky was not dark yet..

Lotus with double egg yolk? :)
I didn't had mooncake on the Mooncake festival itself, but had some earlier on. If I didn't remember wrongly u mentioned last year u want your parents to keep some durian mooncake for u too (inside the freezer) :)
wyn,
Wah, u go pak toh at Bayan Baru area that night ah? Woofy got sing the song "The moon represents my heart" or not? :)
Inspired by your earlier shots of the moon, I set out all eager to shoot the full moon....but it didn't appear the entire night. It rained later :p
ReplyDeleteat least u were in msia. i was in ang moh land. sigh.
ReplyDeletefibrate,
ReplyDeleteI managed to view the full moon from my window several times since the previous shots of the moon few months back.
I guess it's luck that counts gua?
