Eve of Mid-Autumn's Moon

last night i went to see A's father at Cafe BonGout (Go there! it's a really cool place. the inside is full of shelves and shelves of Japanese books! nice place to just relax and read - 60, Robertson Quay, #01-01, The Quayside) which he owns. and this was the view we were treated to. although it didn't come up as nicely in the photograph, and the moon wasn't really at its fullest yet, it was still an amazing sight. i took one shot. and this is it.

later that evening i went to my usual hangout to play a bit of what A calls - "Hard-Core Pool". and as i looked up into the sky, the moon was practically radiating. there was this dark ring around it, with a huge radius. and outside of that, a glowing ring like a halo. 'Twas incredibly beautiful. lying on the pavement, staring up at the moon, i was truly fascinated. (guess the experience was enhanced by having knocked back quite a couple of cups (?) of warm sake before that.)

Tonight. Tonight will be the real night. so don't forget to have a look, even if you are not having mooncakes, chinese tea, pomeloes or warm sake.
