I still can remeber that I celebrated the mid-autumn festival last year at my friend's (James) house. At that time, his wife (Lye Kuan) still pregnant. And now, the baby (Brandon) is going to start with his first step. Time flies, see how fast time fly...is already another year passed. Oh Oh My GOD!!
(that's why they use the word 'fly' for time, and not 'run' or 'move')
This festive have many names, they called Mid-Autumn Festival, Moon Festival, Moon Cake Festival, Lantern Festival...and many others. In chinese, it is called "Zhong Qiu Jie" (中秋节).
Many songs has written for this season. But one of it that I can really feel the 'kick' is the one that composed by our local band... "The BM Boys" a.k.a. "Bukit Mertajam Boys" (山脚下男孩). This band have splited after some time, but this song will be play on all radio station every year during this season.
The simple lyrics that describe the festive, eleboration of the current cultures and living style have changed the traditional celebration.

Lyrics:
月亮圆 月亮圆 月亮照在我的家
(full moon, full moon, moon shine on my house)
没有春夏秋冬的家流传千年
(the house without four seaons spreads over the millennium)
月亮圆 月亮圆 月亮照在我的家
(full moon, full moon, moon shine on my house)
没有春夏秋冬的家流传千年
(the house without four seasons spreads over the millennium)
现在的孩子不相信月亮有小白兔
(the children nowdays do not believe there are rabbit on the moon)
功课与电脑使他们不再听古老的神话
(home work and computers make them don't listen to the ancient Myth)
当高楼大厦遮挡了古老的月亮
(when the tall buildings block the view of the aged moon)
就趁这个季节让你的孩子知道
(takes advantage of this season, and let's your children know)
古老的神话源自何方
(where the ancient myth origin from)

Listen: The Original Music Video of the Song. The BM Boys are now BM Uncles.
P/S: BM = Bukit Mertajam (nothing to do with Malaysian Politics)
