Damn, I'm having an intense craving for mooncake these days, now that the mooncake festival is drawing near. I remember going to the mooncake exhibitions in shopping centres last year, scouting for our favourite flavours, trying new/weird/nice combinations the different hotels/brands seem to churn out every year. Ahhhh... snowskin mooncake would be so good right now, and I the traditional ones are yummy as well. I seldom have cravings (not even for like char kuay teow or bak chor mee or anything) but this is one of them.
I only realise now the things that people going overseas give up for their education - stepping out of your comfort zone, being independent managing your own life in every aspect; forsaking the opportunity to be home, to watch your siblings grow up, to be with your family, to celebrate local festivals, chill at local hangouts, stuff yourself silly on local food. Being abroad is an experience many would kill for, but occasionally you are reminded sadly of what you are missing back there.
Anyway, shall not dwell too much on what could have been, but instead, I shall think and try to control what can be. :)
