Another few more days to chirstmas. hmm.....

OH well, tues is the chinese "Guo Dong". People would eat the tang yuen (glutinous rice flour balls) in preparation for the annual Dong Zhi (Winter Solstice) festival.

"The whole family would come together to make rice balls, which were symbolic of fullness and being together. " I miss this part. MY family is all far away in Malaysia. After work, i walked to the CHinese Groceries and brought 2 packets (one of Red bean paste and another with Black Sesame Paste) , and some rock sugar and some ginger. Got home, had dinner and about 10 pm i made some for myself. hehehe. A packet has 12. I no way could finish them so i took 2. while eating i was watching a TVB series. It was not bad the Tang Yuen. Indeed delicious for i haven't enjoy them for sometime.

It would be nice if someone else was around to share this day with me. But then, to think about it, it isn't that bad to be able to enjoy them by myself. A sense of courage and a sense of independence came through once again. Something that i have lost withouth even knowing.
