I have delegated an important task to hubby since last month …. That is to look for a lantern for our Angel! It is very important because this is Angel’s first lantern since she was still a baby when we celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival last year. It’s only few days away from the Festivals but I yet to see any lantern from hubby yet but hubby assured me, he will “gao-tim” (settle things)!!! So yesterday night, hubby came home happily and shows me a plastic bag.
Hub: TA DAAA!!!! ….. See? I said I will “gau tim” la, I have found the Lantern!!!
Me: Really?? Well done dear …… Quick! Let me see!!
Hub: I have skipped my lunch just to search for this, so hungry now ….. (making the pitiful face ...)
Me: You poor man …. But dear, the lantern you bought ……
Hub: Nice or not? The red one is for Angel …… and I got some extras too just in case :)
Me: But I thought you'll will buy something similar to this (while showing Joanne Mommy’s lantern for Sarah in her blog as pic below) 
Hub: Ooo ….. but I didn’t see any of that wor. That is niceeeeeeeee ……… (Admiring Sarah’s lantern)
Me: ……....... (don’t know what to say)
Hub: But ….. the one I bought also very nice ….. very traditional ‘feel’ leh, just like the one we used to play (or burn to be more accurate??) when we were still kids. I didn’t know that they make such nice lanterns nowadays :(
Me: Ooo .... don’t worry, I think Angel will definitely love the lantern la since it’s her beloved daddy who skipped lunch to buy for her. I think I will secure it with a chopsticks la :)
Sigh, hubby is still hubby! But ……… I am glad that he has ‘tried his very best’ (in his terms) in getting an appropriate ‘lantern’ for his little girl at least :) That lantern will surely be very meaningful to Angel (and very memorable to me) because it’s the first lantern given by her Daddy. I think Hubby also first time buying these kind of stuffs la, he is still a baby, see??? :P :P Most importantly, we can spend this meaningful festival as a family of 3 together and also, with a 'less then expected’ lantern to brighten up our Mid-Autumn night :) :) Happy Mid-Autumn everyone!!!!
P/s: Thank you Joanne, for letting me used the picture of your Sarah's lantern over here ya. Hope you don't mind about the extra 'blink blink' I've added :) Thanks a lot Joanne!! *hugs* :)

Hi HN, ya …. What a ‘surprise’, I don’t mind the good one more often though :) Happy Mid-Autumn to you and your family.
PeiWun, Happy Mid-Autumn to you and your family and Happy searching for little Sean’s lantern ya :)
Hi Serene, Hahaha …. How I wished hubby could get the one like Sarah’s lantern too :) :) Ya lor ….. at least he found a lantern, better then no lantern la :) Happy Mid-Autumn to you and Xixi :)
Doreen, you are so cute la. Happy Mid-Autumn to you and your family too :) I also wish I could decorate the lantern a bit but like what I told hubby just now, Although I wished to decorate the lantern but no where to start coz the lantern is rippled at the side so if I were to stick a sticker on, the sticker will look crooked LOL
Mummy Gwen, Happy Mid-Autumn to you and your family. And also, happy searching for a nice and cute lantern for your little Gwen ya. At least she gets to choose her lantern so it shouldn’t be a problem. :) :)
Hi Irene, Thanks for dropping by and Happy Mid-Autumn to you and your family too :) Eerrrmmm …. Actually ……….. ‘that thingy’ REALLY is a chopstick! (That’s why she keeps looking at it) So Angel is having a very ‘traditional’ paper lantern (by daddy) with a disposable chopstick handle (by mommy, but I really couldn’t find any other better substitution then that), so you can imagine how ‘conventional’ that is, LOL
Is a nice red tanglong bought by your husband mah..
actually i think nowadays is very difficult to get those lantern that I have. I am just being lucky to get it at my place here.
I really did not know that you are looking for this type of lantern, or else I will make an effort to send you one.
Dont worry Caroline, Angel will love her new lantern.
* you are most welcome about the photo...hehe. I love the lantern with blink2.
Hi JT, it's so nice for you to offer :) Ya, I think Sarah's lantern is nice and actually I am looking for those similar with Sarah's one but I thought hubby aware of that, hehehe. Well, I think Angel will love anything from her daddy la coz at least daddy didn't break his promise ma, right :) Thanks again :)
You are welcome.
