happy winter solstice?
a festival we celebrate even in a tropical country.
every year, it has become a tradition in my humble little family to make 'tang yuan' together
i never really kept track of when this day was coming for the past years,
because every morning when i wake up and make my way downstairs
and the scent of ginger + gula melaka soup reach my nasal cavities haha
i know, it's this season again :)
my younger brother and sister and me will gather around the table
and start the tang yuan making party. lol
from stirring the mixture till its sticky enough to plopping the tang yuans into the hot boiling soup to finally savour our sweet labour together
we do all of this together, including all the little arguments of who made the biggest tang yuan and who to plop them into the soup first.
that's how we would do it too for this year, but minus me out of the picture.
it's so sad for me to only appreciate small traditions like this until i'm this big.
it sucks to be away from home.
