Remembering......

Today is the first day of the 8th month according to the Chinese Lunar calendar. Throughout this month many young people will be tying their knots in marriage. So tonight i shall be attending a wedding dinner at a local restaurant. The occassion is to celebrate the marriage of my neighbour's daughter. I still remember the little girl....thin and lanky....when they first moved into the neighbourhood. Wow, today she is getting married. How time flies. This month of September also saw the wedding registration of my own girl in Sydney, Down Under on 09.09.09. Well, the neighbourhood children have all grown up now and almost every one of them is starting a family of their own. This reminds us that we are getting older day by day.
This afternoon i visited Dot...a grand old lady of our church. She's over 80 years now and still very hale and hearty. She still has a good memory and never fails to ask about my nieces or nephews. A person with a big heart.....showing so much love and concern for others. God willing, she will be attending my girl's wedding dinner on 22 January 10. Whenever we meet, there's so much to share.....about family members, personal needs and of course TV programmes.
This month also marks the celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival. There will be plenty of mooncakes for sale. Through innovation, there are plenty of flavours for mooncakes....durian, pandan and so on. This time though i'm trying one type...black sesamee lotus paste .....for filling. I do not know how's the taste is like but since i like black sesamee, i guess the taste should be alright. Generally, i prefer to stick to the more traditional type of filling for mooncakes....hope this will turn out well for tomorrow..........
