My Christmas Eve for 2011

Today is Christmas Eve. How are you going to celebrate Christmas this year?

As for me, it's a pretty normal weekend for me. Going out with my family. I might stay away from Orchard Road, although I wish to take photos of the Christmas decorations this year. I remember I went for photo taking during last Christmas's eve, and the area was jammed with people.

I was here on Christmas Eve, this year! Walking around the Marina area.

I found that this year's Christmas decors are quite simple, especially Marina Square Shopping Mall.






After Christmas, it's the countdown for 2012.

Winter Solstice Festival 2011

On the 22nd of December, as usual, I made my 'tangyuan' (glutinuous rice balls) again.

Well, bought all the stuffs used for making 'tangyuan' a few days ago, as in previous years, glutinuous rice flour were out of stock the day before Winter Solstice Festival. However, for this year, I try to make the flour balls stuffed with tiny bits of chocolate and cooked in peanut soup.




I think it tastes better with apple soup.

Review of the movie "Hachi: A Dog's Story"

It was about 2 months since I last updated my blog. It's because I had not been online frequently using my laptop.

Today, I watched a very touching movie called, "Hachi: A Dog's Story." It was aired about 2 years ago. Anyway, I managed to watch it while I was scrolling for movies to watch on my ipod. I think it is the first time I shed my tears when I watched the movie. It is based on a true story of loyalty and undying love. I was moved by Hachi's perseverance.



The saddest part was that when the Profesor Parker Wilson had passed away for 10 years, Hachi still waits for his owner to appear at the train station everyday at 5 o' clock in the evening. When the day Hachi shows Professor Parker Wilson by fetching the ball to him, it's the last time Hachi saw his owner. If anyone had missed the movie, you can watch the trailer at Youtube.
