冬至 - Winter Solstice Festival (22 Dec)

It's 冬至, time to have 汤圆! 

Our 冬至 is dampened by two events this year. Lin was traumatized by a Uni senior who's unwell. We pray he'll seek medical treatment asap & be his old, happy & confident self. It's disheartening to see a jovial, confident person be reduced to one who's badly battered, troubled and heavily burdened. Mom on the other hand was traumatized by Koka who choked on half an apple. Fortunately she managed to help Koka force the apple out.

Despite all the above, we still managed to have our bowls of 汤圆. When we were kids, mom used to make us roll the 汤圆. Now, we just get the dumplings from the supermarkets. :)))  Mom likes to add pandan leaves when cooking the soup for the dumplings. It's gives the 汤圆 a nice aroma. ;) We like our dumplings with peanut fillings. What about you? :)
