Mid-Autumn Day

Happy belated Mid Autumn Day. It was yesterday. It supposes to be a day you gathering with your families, chatting and having moon cakes. But since I can’t be with my family or Jenn, and I didn’t want to spend the day with my computer, I went out to a party in a International Student Hall in Russell Square, which I was invited by James.

It’s interesting to see a dormitory hall where students from several universities live together, quite mixed. But it’s more interesting to be among them after I graduated. It’s fresher week, and everybody was seeking names of new faces they meet, follows by what university and majors etc. Obviously they moved away from me rather quickly after found out I was a wrong target. Their faces were just like mine, four years ago from now, very excited and keen to talk to anyone who make a few seconds eye contact with them. Guess I will be like that again next week, when I start my job.

Anyway, after a pub quiz we went to that moon cake party. Speaking Chinese did give me some the feeling of being a festival. But most conversations kept making me realise that I’m getting old (mature), except for those with postgraduate students.

Here is the photo of the moon in Shantou in 2005, when I spend my only Mid Autumn Day at home for the last five years.
