To see the big apartment buildings with their improvised window air conditioners gives a certain look of third-world country.  But maybe it is just that these buildings are decades old, before today's era where air conditioners are part of the design of living facilities. 

 

A look at the charts gives a surprising result:  Singapore is THE THIRD most populated place in the world!, with 7894 people per square kilometer (!), right after Macau and Monaco.   So many times have I walked along the perimeter of a square kilometer, without realizing that I was encircling... nearly 8000 people!

 

Well, this justifies the big apartment buildings with hundreds of homes.  And if by walking a few kilometers I can encircle 8000 people, this means 240 homosexuals, and if only one  in ten is a cute attractive gay, this means 24 candidates for romance per square kilometer! :). Too bad that Singapore is so conservative and gays there are so reserved!  :( 

 

This is why the 吓坏人 mid-autumn-festival statue of a guy in drag sheds a little light of joy and fun in the otherwise austere background.

Didn't this happen last year or the year before that?

As long as the feet were decently bounded.

WOW!  You must have searched so much to find the perfect picture to show how older people are not concerned (or aware) about their looks :lol:

 

Is this picture from Sentosa Island?  If so, this man is celebrating the Mid Autumn Festival...  in his way.

 

Not all older people suffer such dramatic transformation.  Imagine!  60 years ago he could have been a beautiful model, and you would have wished that that moon is even fuller.   Or 40 years ago he could have been the perfect Ang Moh uncle,  breaking young Asian Hearts!  Here you have your Buddhist Impermanence  :( 

 

But your picture is also an example, a warning:  As soon as you are in the 40s,  give high priority to the future of your flesh by becoming knowledgeable in healthy living, and doing all the things we experienced people recommend over and over again.  

 

You are an anonymous Guest Yawning.  Maybe you are a senior like the man in the picture, and... who knows... maybe he is YOU.   In any case, it is good that you escape the pileup of 8000 people per square Km in your island and dare to come out to the open space, sea water, and breathe a little bit of fresh air not used up already by 8000 lungs.  Good luck and enjoy  :thumb:

This is pure speculation and wishful thinking!

 

Yes, I am older,  but you cannot say that I look ugly on my avatar. 

And with "annoying" you made a mistake... that is YOU, not me! :lol:

The moonlight we see as mostly white, reflection of the sunshine.

This means that it has all the colors of the rainbow,  not only 4 colors.

My camera couldn't show the four colours of light encircling the moon barely 25 minutes ago.  A first for me even at this age.

By the way, the topic this year is 月光閃爍.  Leave it to Fab to explain.

Light up the lantern and candles at night. Put old biscuit tin cover on top of candle and start cooking the leaves and flowers. And from cooking to start burning whatever on the ground. So excited to see fire burning and that burning of leaves smell. 

 

Eat mooncake, small yam, pomelo, and use hammer to break open the black nut that looks like the buffalo horns. 

 

Make lantern from wire. And buy the colourful tranparent paper to wrap around it. 

 

So much memories...

 

Now all led lantern...

All the beautiful traditions and experiences gone due to people nowadays only interested in playing with their hp.

That's Cantonese.  In 'Story of the Stone', men attended but didn't directly make offerings to the Moon.  What people are you?

Guest Rainy days

Now covit 19. Otherwise still got traditional lantern celebration like previous years. Nothing is forgotten. Alternatively you can still do it among your own family members. Lighting real candles did bring so much warmth during the raining season and brighten the mood during pandemic.

The rain doesn't put out the real candles?

Depends how and where you put them.  Not difficult for you to understand, right?

I have tremendous difficulties understanding.

 

Candle flames raise up vertically.  Rain drops fall down vertically (with no wind). 

Aren't they made one for the other?   One rain drop and  chhh...  little smoke.  :lol:

I wonder about all those whose families are separated by current movement restrictions.

 

A Malaysian who worked here: she actually bought some traditional paper lanterns, like in her childhood hometown and light them up at balcony. Clear weather so now raindrops. She told me she really misses her family.

How nice if can walk around carry the paper lantern in low rise swimming trunk in whole group or make a gathering all in skimpy gear or naked. My Malaysian friends lived in KL he often organize it I make a point to take few days leave as the session is pot luck end the table like hotel buffet. Usually my friend will ask me to cook devil curry or chicken curry and roti jala like lace crepe usually I will buy few bottles of vodka and party whole night. All we know we wake up all undies throw around naked and we all shower and have breakfast together or skip breakfast we might just go to have  buffet. Every time my friends have even his guest will just throw their undies anywhere this is the time when my my friend took a nap I will  took it it those been left they never ask the host about their undies they seem don't bother about it. I will put in the ziplock bag. Reach Singapore i will sniff it.

How to celebrate it differently this year?

Since when did Singaporeans ever celebrate the festival?  Not that I know there were any such celebrations before.   It is no different from Dumpling Festival (端午节).  You mean you celebrate? How?
