MAF 2012

With each passing MAF and with each passing age, the excitement of the festival seemed less captivating. As usual, the festival centred around grandma's birthday (it's her 88th) and the whole family gathered at her place. Somehow I will be one of the first few to arrive at her place and have to wait for the other cousins to come (which is usually a few hours later). Tons of food aside, we used to carry our lanterns (we are given lantern money) around the park. Yet, as we grow older, the 'baton' is passed to the younger generations. Not that I am complaining but it seemed that beyond a certain age, some things are more enjoyable in the past.
