karaoke wif oldiez is HILLARIOUZ!!

uh huh...its really funny...

its on a saturday, and it was the day where majority of the chinese celebrates 'tong yuen festival'...oso known as 'guo tong'...
just like every year, my mum and i will make the tong yuens...
as traditional as i oredi am, i luv my tong yuen the original way, which is plain, without any fancy fillings...

adapted from somewhere:

"Eating tong yuen (Chinese for glutinous rice balls) is the tradition during Dong Zhi (Chinese for the Winter Solstice festival) as it brings you good luck. Legend claims that in Ancient China, a poor family caught a fish to celebrate Dong Zhi but in her haste to eat it, a fish bone was stuck at the mother's throat causing her discomfort. A beggar approached them for food and the daughter gave the fish as that was the only food they had. Seeing the mother's discomfort, the beggar gave her lumps of dough which she shallowed and got rid of the fish bone. After hearing this, the villagers believe that eating tong yuen will help ward of bad luck and that tradition has persisted till modern day...."

after that went to my uncle's house to give respect to both my late grandparents...
