Mid - Autumn Festival

Hello there,
Today Chinese all over the world celebrate Mid - Autumn Festival or Winter Solstice. To commemorate the occasion, they will make small round white pebble like dumplings. These small pebble-like dumplings are made from wet rice flour and we only need to pinch a little bit of the dough and rubbed it into a marble size. These are then cooked in a pot of boiling water. When cooked, these small marbles are mixed with peanut powder and sugar...I have yet to ask the elderly about the significance of these marbles...

It is also believed that the weather on this Mid - Autumn Festival will decide the weather of the First Day of Chinese New Year. It is said that if it rains on Mid - Autumn Festival, then it will not rain on the First Day of the Chinese New Year or vice-versa.

Time really flies, another day has gone and another year will pass...I think all of us need to use these remaining few days to reflect on resolutions: what we have achieved and what we have failed to achieve...then life will be more meaningful...

See you all again...
