means that me is a year older now.. faint faint..
Usually, it was celebrated on the 22nd of Dec every year.. but this year, it's on 21 st Dec..
I felt like it was not long ago that I celebrated it, last year..
Personally, I like to celebrate the Winter Solstice.. coz...
I love TANG YUAN.. XD
Every year I will help mum make the glutinous rice balls, with different colours.. but this year, no no.. coz I woke up late.. haha..
Mum will make tong yuen for us, with the pandan and ginger syrup and with mixed ground peanuts and sesames.. Yum yum.. Actually, I'm looking forward to try them with different fillings inside - black sesame, red bean, chocolate, etc.. well, we can make then on our own with any fillings we like.. some are served with soya bean milk, black sesame paste and red bean paste..
I prefer the sweet ones instead of savoury ones..
Hope I can make them for my loved ones in future.. ^^
According to what I have been told since I was a kid, that we must eat 'tang yuan' according to our ages.. but usually I will eat more than that.. hahaha.. sometimes can have tang yuan during my cousins' weddings too..
Me celebrated this festival with my family at PJ this year.. Every year, we will celebrate it by having a reunion dinner outside.. This year is different, which is at my grandma's house.. have some home-cooked meals.. more like some sort of buffet.. ^^
But didn't eat much of tang yuen this year.. sigh... T.T
