Dong Zhi (Winter Solstice Festival)

Yesterday was dong zhi (winter solstice festival)... Every year, my mum will make tang yuan(dunno wat it's called in english) but its main ingredient is glutinous rice flour. But this year it was me & my sis who made it coz my mum was not allowed 2 do it as my grandpa juz passed away recently. According to the old people, eat tang yuan will make u grow older by a year. Frankly, i'm not so sure whether we get older by a year everytime we eat tang yuan or we get older for every tang yuan we eat. If the latter one was correct (which i assume it's definitely not) then i'm oredi more than 100 yrs old.LOL. Anyway, tang yuan is readily available out there and we can easily buy it. However, there's nothing more meaningful than making them urself. It tasted really delicious when u finally cooked it with tong sui (sweet dessert soup or simply/literally sugar water).
