The 4th Mid-Autumn Festival in Hong Kong

It’s the day after Mid-Autumn Festival today which is a public holiday in Hong Kong. Thanks to my days-off on Mondays and Wednesdays, suddenly I got a five-day holiday. And out of these 5 nights, I spent 3 with my dear friends!

This is the 4th Mid-Autumn Festival in Hong Kong without family. Honestly I don’t have strong attachments to this traditional Chinese festival, but still it is important to be with family on that day, I cannot see the chance I can have mooncakes with my parents these years though. Luckily I have my friends around, Amity, Daisy, Lisa, Joyce, etc. We gossip, we laugh, we drink, we confide. With you gals, I don’t feel lonely at all!

And this year, I’m lucky to have him around. Although he couldn’t have dinner with me for the festival, it is enough that he called as soon as he came back to HK.

I dare not say he’s more important to me than my family, but he’s the one I go to whenever I need a listener or just a shoulder. I’m not perfect at all in front of him – I say stupid words, I manifest my feeling of insecurity, and I behave possessively. But after all, I am who I am when being with him, I can be who I am when being with him.

So, Mid-Autumn Festival (honey called it Mooncake Festival lol), still we should go to home if we can make it. It’s also not bad to be with friends – like all the other days when you don’t need to go to work – as well as the one you love and care about.
