Title__*::Dong Zhi

Actually planned to upload some of e picts yesterday but got some prob w e internet so din upload in e end.. too lazy to upload now..

anyway, was making 'Tang Yuan' yesterday night.. daddy made e dough liao and he needs to go out yesterday nite so i had to roll the big dough into small balls (tang yuan).. started out doing alone as my bro is 'busy' talking on e phone and watching animae online.. sigh..~ then mummy came back and started making the soup for the tang yuan.. and soon, daddy reach home and helped me with the making of tang yuan..

Making tang yuan should be a family activity and i am glad that we really made the whole pot of tang yuan as a family, with each of us contributing in a small part.. =) somehow, felt quite emotional then.. seeing the whole family 'working' in our small kitchen altogether (my bro came to help in e end also..).. i cant help but start to think of how would it be like in the future..

I am suddenly so worried and sad to know that my parents would leave me one day.. its a fact that no one can change.. *sob..*

i also realise that people dun actually take photos things in their daily life.. and thats when i suddenly decided to take pictures of us making the tang yuan.. but too bad the photos are blur as i assume that the kitchen light is bright enough..

since young, i wasn't really keen on such family activity whereby the whole family gather together to make or prepare something.. but ever since i went to tassie to study, such activities become very very meaningful to me.. in Singapore, my parents are working almost everyday.. when they reach home at nite, they still have so much hse works to do at home and dun even have enough time to rest.. so dun even have a proper time to sit down and chat with them etc..

i am really glad that traditional festival like this is still around as it sort of 'force' the family to make something together and can more or less interact with each other at the same time.. mummy and daddy are always the one giving instructions on what to do.. i m very worried that i wun know what to do in future, when they r no longer ard.. so i m trying to learn as much as i can now.. =(

ok enough of the emotional and long winded stuff.. today is Dong Zhi.. Hope that all my friend's family are well and healthy and hope that everyone can start treasuring their family now.. =)

From me to you..
