Moonlight Belfast

Moonlight in Chinese pronunciation is 'yue (moon) guang (light)', which nowadays can also be ironically interpreted to refer to someone who spends all his/her salary (guang - have nothing left, squander) in less than a month's time (yue - month). The English use of moonlighting seems the opposite.

Another evening turned out to be my shopping time after going to my bank to re-do a letter. But only bought some puddings (some sponge cakes) that my grandpa would love to eat, though I'm unsure if he's fit enough so I chose the softer ones. 

Moonlight in Chinese literature has always been sentimentally associated with homesickness - the time to miss family especially one's thousand miles away.
