Day 100... wow... finally reached it... about 1/3 of the way now... it has been a real challenge for me to stay so long on this project.

So today is "Mid-Autumn" festival in the Chinese lunar calendar. Celebrations include going out to make fancy lanterns and enjoy these wonderful cakes, called Mooncakes. Today I am so lucky to still be able to enjoy one of these cakes, thanks to my lovely fiancee transporting one from her mum to me over the weekend. It was delicious! thanks Auntie for the lovely cake... I finished it all... hahaha... =)
