冬至 / Doomsday?

( FYI i got the pic from google hehe)

okay guys if you have read the news or recently posts about doomsday in fb you should know that today is known as 21st of December a.k.a Doomsday.
nobody knows whether is true or not or its just rumors spreading all out. Some think its a joke while some think it may come true. Well my family especially my mum semi-believes it so she buys lots of biscuits and charcoal just in case it really does happen. When it doesnt its still usable. (true fact man)

so woke up today and thank god sun is shinning brightly and the day is normal!
But today is also 冬至!!
yes! my favorite part of the whole year! 汤圆!
those yummy chewy gummy balls made of flour with different colours and flavors are just magnificent!!

yes i have to wait a year to enjoy this very day! especially 冬至 eve. Its the day where we all gather at my grandma's place and make 汤圆 together. To me its a very special and memoriable moment every year because we always do this at each years 冬至 eve. Maybe to others its just a normal day and maybe some din't try making the glutinous rice balls at all. (hmm..)

honestly i like making my hands full of flour and making those little balls out and stuff peanuts in the middle! i can eat the whole pot of these glutinous balls every year (not joking man) hehe..
 ** a friend of mine dint get to eat 汤圆 this year because the family forgot to do it?? haha you're just lazy la bang hehe..
too bad cause they're so nice man!!! wahaha

so we did like 3 big plates every year and this morning lil sis and i woke up and did the 2nd time with mum. We were playing more than making. We make so many different sizes and mum bought soya and    some brown sugar and we mix and match so we had 3 types of eating. hehe

my clothes was fulll of flour and i just woke up and made these glutinous balls so man i was so digustingly dirty hehe.. 
thank god nothing happen and 冬至 can be done peacefully. :)
wish all of you 冬至节快乐 and have a nice day!!  ;)
