Moon-cake Fest... Mid-Autumn...
What is one thing you only get to eat ONCE a year??? If you are thinking Birthday cakes, then you are wrong..... You eat cakes as and when you like, sometimes, u ate during your fren's Bday parties too......
So of cos, it is the one and only MOONCAKE.... I love Moooncakes... it is a real pity to know that they are only sold when the festival is around the corner..... other than that, you have to make it yourself, the DIY way, and it is SUPER TROUBLESOME.... so i'd rather just anticipate it once a year... that way, we get to appreciate the mooncakes even more......
Today, since it's the mooncake fest, gonna let you guys think back on some of the songs that has the word "moon" or "月" in the song titles.... Let you peeps reminiscence the classics and great songs while sipping chinese tea and tasting the mooncakes.....
Or else, you can play it as a game during your Mooncake Fest gathering....... lolx...

Norah Jones' songs are totally different from like the rest of most artists..... How to say.... got abit of blues to it, then got like jazz.... Her songs are best to listen when you know, on a lazy sunday, then u are on ur couch reading your favourite book..... you can play her songs as the background music.... I would like to call her songs as "cushy-couch song"... 沙发歌.... lolx.....
Okai... there are actually MORE AND ALOT of other songs... but well, dont wanna make it too long and draggy.... so i only wrote the 重点 and the 经典.....
Wishin all peeps here a Happy Mooncake Fest~!!!!
Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words hold my hand
In other words darling kiss me
Fill my life with song
And let me sing forevermore
You are all I hope for
All I worship and adore
In other words please be true
In other words I love you
DJ告辞咯~！=)
