mid Autumn.... memories

One week has passed since the mid autumn festival. The sky was so cloudy during that period that i never got the chance to see the full moon.

JB told me yesterday that he was beginning to forget his childhood memories. Guess it is the same to everyone i supposed.

Despite that, i still have the faintest memory i had on mid autumn festival and on my grandfather. I can still rmb that time on mid autumn when i was 3 or 4 yrs old ( couldn't be 5 cos he was dead then), my grandfather bought me a superman lantern (with purple hair which i know its not right). He was sitting on the swing beside my flat at toa payoh and i was flying that superman lantern around that swing.

During our kite flying session last yr, JB, Yc and JC asked me before, why was i so enthusiastic about that kite flying trip. I couldn't remember why then, but i was just very excited about it. Suddenly rmbed something before.

I always liked the feeling of having the wind blowing through my hair, towards the face. Though there is a slight sense of insecurity, there are also excitment and mysterious as well. I just like that feeling. I like to fly, not in an aeroplane, but in the wind.

That was why i wanted kites for my birthday when i was 4 yrs old (it was around tt time i knew the existence of kites). And of course, my grandfather bought me 4 kites, those normal rectangular shape, one of with i rmbed had a spiderman picture on it. We pinned it up on the wall as decoration during my birthday party. Was enjoying myself that i forgotten about those kites. Before i knew it, it was kept away and i didn't see it since.

It was many yrs past (7 to 9 yrs old then) when my family went to marina south for a bowling game. I pastered to go kite flying as soon as i heard that we can fly kite nearby. Though my father couldnt remember when i told him about it last yr, i can still remember that that was the first time i flew a kite and it was together with him. It was really hardwork i would say. The kite managed to fly, but eventually got trapped in a tree. Very sad then, just as i was getting the hang of it, such tregedy had to happen. But we still managed to keep that roll of string as a sovenior. That was why i really looked forward to the next kite flying session...
