Happy Dong1 Zhi4!!

Today, Dec 22, marks the Winter Solstice, which signifies the arrival of Winter.

In Chinese customs, today is also what is known as Dong1 Zhi4. Dong Zhi is a time for family reunion. Tang Yuan, sweet soup of glutinuous rice flour balls, is indispensible during this festival. And thanks to my sister, I had yummy tangyuan for breakfast today.














So, here's wishing everyone a Happy Dong Zhi ! May you have a wonderful family/friends reunion. Must eat tangyuan ok ? :P

PS: Winter Solstice is also the shortest day and the longest night of the year. So we should work less today and play longer (& harder) tonight! Woo hoooo!!!
