Winter Solstice ?? Tong Yuen Day??

Oh, its been awhile since the last blog i posted. today is 22nd Dec 2011 (Thursday) and guess what? its Winter Solstice festival. i understand that during this festival the Sunshine will be on its weakest and the shortest daylight ever of the year. Haha.. i read it somewhere in wikipedia though.

So, its TongYuen Festival and i got no idea it was until i saw alot of posts posted in FaceBook. lol, a lot of ppl posting out the pictures of the TongYuen they had. some are self made, some they bought from shops. they all seems so into the festival and posting status on how delicious and how happy they are having TongYuen to eat. well, i am happy for them too. after all, eating TongYuen indicates a person growing up and also it brings togetherness. Unfortunate to me, i never had the chance to taste a single biji of the TongYuen. although i am not a fan of TongYuen still i wish i could at least try and feel the hype right? after all, its the chinese tradition that has been passed down for years. or in this case, for decades. haha.

well, i guess i got nothing much to say anymore.. its a sudden and random topic to write though. So, here am i wishing all of you out there a very wonderful Winter Solstice Festival!!! oh ya... Christmas is around the corner by the way... i am sure a lot of ppl out there started preparing for the celebration. as for myself... i guess it will be a lonely Christmas. -Eddie-
