所有的節日禮品，不在乎味道，是在乎心意。。。

Agree w/ 陳俊偉 that the mooncake is all about "在乎心意". Although, of course, in some sense it's very 一廂情願 for me to think that it's "sweet"...

今年中秋並沒有什麼特別嘅安排，除了因為要在課室中渡過外（咩學校嚟 ga，中秋都要上堂上到 9 點幾，仲未計放學後要傾 project。。。傾傾傾傾到成十一點幾先返家。。。), So anyway, 今年就連最"行貨"嘅 BBQ / Hot Pot 等活動諗都無諗過安排 - 真的是太忙了~~

只望多了一天不用上班可 catch up 一下功課 Orz...

Well actually it wasn't really THAT bad. Turned out last Friday I got all the ready-to-make Icy Mooncake ingredients and try my FIRST ICY MOONCAKE EVER - it was a blast and just to fool around here and there. And thanks for Yekini to come and help out *LOL*

Although someone said he got stomach ache after eating TWO of them (my friend of course la, how can you eat so much at one time ga!! 諗返都真係覺得幾搞笑！) hahaha... luckily someone's mom who happened to eat at the same time don't have any problems jae...

都係果句，係食果個人嘅問題囉，同我 D 冰皮月餅完全無關！。。。 XDDDD

hehehe j/k... at least he isn't too sick or anything like that... XD

I still haven't eat the traditional one this year, hopefully to have some when i got home tonite - well, i mean AFTER tutorial Orz... Well anyway, happy mid-autumn festival~~ (although it's way past it!) XD LOL... and hopefully next year i got someone to share the mooncakes - together...

低等生活：錯過中秋節

由於近三星期都在海外工作，不少事情皆要遙控處理，包括電郵、訊息、信件、包裹，還有月餅──是的，月餅是需要「處理」的。

執筆之時，尚未到中秋節，但已經肯定要在歐洲度過月圓之夜。月餅卻打從四星期前開始陸續送來，有些拜託朋友接收，有些索性推掉，以免月餅留在負責收件的商務中心封塵再發霉。部分酒店改作寄出月餅換領券，要領取歡迎之至，沒空提貨便省卻浪費。

月餅，像所有的節日禮品，不在乎味道，是在乎心意。收到一盒月餅，就知道某人仍然記得我，在一個貨如輪轉、人來人去的集體失憶城市，能夠被記得是一件不錯的事。偶爾從數年未有合作的朋友處得到月餅，更帶「有朋自遠方來」的驚喜。所以，對我來說，是雙黃蓮蓉或金華火腿五仁冰皮豆茸或朱古力雪糕餡都無所謂。當然啦，若果是某某老牌酒店中菜廳的迷你曲奇皮奶黃月餅，就更好。

中秋不在港，間中無可避免，畢竟中秋節不是Global節日，而且並非是很壞的事。某年在澳洲阿得萊德度中秋，我和新加坡記者為隆重其事，跑到唐人街購買「單頭」月餅一個，在當地某著名餐廳晚飯後拿出來，像生日蛋糕般切成多份，配上澳洲甜酒當甜品享用。同枱的澳洲導遊是「月餅處女」，品嘗過後十分喜歡，覺得可媲美芝士餅或焦糖布甸。換個角度，原來月餅可打入西方甜品Menu。
