14 September 2008 - Mid Autmn Festival (MoonCake Festival)

We, chinese celebrating the Mid Autumn Festival on the chinese calendar of 15 August. Somehow, this year it drops on the 14 September of our calendar. A little bit upset of this year, firstly because this year everyone have to eat expensive moon cake and secondly, I was not HOME!!!!!!!!!!!

As we know and see, nowadays there are many types of moon cake then what our great grandfather have. So, we can now enjoy more varieties of moon cake then they do. How lucky we are don't you think. Below is some pictures of moon cake.





Lantern is of course something that couldn't miss out during the Mid Autumn Festival. This is the fun part when we see children taking their lantern around and have fun with it. But somehow nowadays lantern are more and more impressive. Using batteries instead of candles, made of plastic instead of paper that can get burn by fire. Some of it even with music but BUT i still prefer the tradition lantern that light up with candle like the one below. It makes me feel like really celebrating Mid Autumn and have a feeling of missing home if I was not at home!!

So, today this day I am here at KL celebrating it with my cousin and sister instead of family. Early in the morning me and sis had when to market and bought some fresh vegetables for night meal.

First of all, is a chicken. How can miss out a dish of meat for this special day. With the help of mummy, I mean consultation I decide to make a steamed chicken. This is my first time preparing!!




The outcome is actually not bad but it can be improve again and somehow the taste is not bad!! hehe..satisfied with it and gona do it better the next time!!! I chop the whole chicken myself and also my first time experience. Somehow I worried that I would chop off my finger but luckily still on my hand!! If not I wont be typing my blog now!!! HAHAHAHAHA You have a dish of meat how can you miss out a plate of vege. This is what we gona cook and have tonight!! Mixed vegetables!!!
Looks Like 5 Happiness!!!!

Last but not least of bowl of soup is definitely a NEED in a meal. Not the main course but an important one every time you have a meal.

WAN BAK SOUP



You read my title carefully didn't you?? So how can we miss out the main character of the day!!
I bought it last minute at the market and that is the only stall who sells it!! So cute got cartoon one some more!!!!
This is the only moon cake I eat for this year, so pity!!

Last of all, wish everyone Happy Mid Autumn Festival!!!
Don't forget to pay a visit to the moon later, and with a piece of moon cake and a cup of tea. It is definitely a type of leisure and who knows you may see "ChangEr" and rabbit on it!!!!

TOUGH

Why do people looks tough when they are actually weak in heart? Why do people pretending to stand alone without no one but actually they need care the most? Why do people trys to look tough from the outside to decrease the possibilities of being bully instead some people actually trying to help with open arms? This is actually a very broad definition out of it. So what position are you in for being tough. Everyone was trying to be tough for lots of things that they are facing nowadays. There are nothing wrong with it to be tough but remember there is still friends out there to lend you their shoulders and be a good listener.

YOU TIAO & JOHN KING TART

YOU TIAO is what we called in Chinese and ' YAO ZA GUAI ' is what Cantonese named it and this food is said to be origin from Cantonese people. This is one of the high demand food in Pavilion. It is simple, non-oily and reasonable in price. Their freshly made Tau Foo Far taste great and it is so smooth and doesn't have much of the bean taste which make people hardly love to eat them..... You Tiao - It is so crispy to eat just like that or you wanted to eat with their plain porridge would also be great because the combination of both makes perfect!!! Porridge - Their porridge is not so hardened or over watery. I guess that's the perfect way to describe. It is just alright and you can hardly see the rice but instead it is little sticky which a porridge should have.... After having that, my friend continuing exploring other food in the section. We go for the tart that had been very popular and keep mentioning by those who had ever had them. The legendary tart, ...

GOOD or BAD?? no idea >.

I receive a call during my class and it is indeed a little suprise. I did not expect but not having high expectation too. BUT this news seems to come not really right on time. I had been qualify to semi final of Pidato. It will be held on 15 November 2008. I am indeed happy and upset at the same time. Happy because I know I am actually able to make it, upset is actually because I am way too busy to prepare something extra. I had too many assignments to handle and many meetings to attend and I was wondering do I have time to practice since it is just around the corner and it is only about 10 more days to go. I was thinking to call a STOP for it but my friends encourage me to go ahead because at least I tried and it is TRYING with FAILURE and not NOTHING and FAILURE!!! So, wait for my good news!!! Wish me lucks if I am going on and wish me MORE lucks if I can compete in FINAL !!!
