My Boxing Day

today i really got a full rest.... sleep until 2pm.. hAhaaa...   ok i'm a piggy...!!! 

btw.. i just know today is Boxing Day from dad yesterday.... hHAhhaa... so i googled.. and found some origins of it...

Boxing Day originated in England in the middle of the nineteenth century under Queen Victoria. December 26th, or Boxing Day is a holiday celebrated in Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and other Commonwealth countries. It is spent with family and friends at open gatherings with lots of food, fun, friendship and love. Boxing Day is so called because it was the custom on that day for tradesmen to collect their Christmas boxes or gifts in return for good and reliable service throughout the year. Boxing Day is also St. Stephen's Day. St Stephen was a little known saint who achieved eternal fame by being the first Christian to be martyred for his faith by being stoned to death shortly after Christ's crucifixion.

i requested a gift from mummy...... but her answer makes me fell off the chair.... --- no prezzie because i'm not a christian....

the new Tropicana City Mall @ PJ

ho ho ho..... i dint celebrate Christmas... so is just like a normal holiday for me.... yesterday wanted to go 1U shopping but was stucked in the jam... just in time to make a u-turn...
then suddenly a thought came thru my mind... the newly open ''tropicana mall'' !!

the mall location is middle of the peak PJ city.... just beside the LDP..... BUT i got quite pissed off for their current entrance... cos i end up turning to ss2 bridge to u-turn... then going eastin hotel to make another u-turn only can reach the MALL..!!!

the so-called... tropicana city... but currently not fully developed yet...

the centered tall but fake Xmas tree.... hahhaa took the santa lady in the pix too... 

the 3 storey mall is quite spacious... and besides the shops... there are 2 rolls of stalls in the middle of the ground floor ... 

the information counter just right beside the centre court.

there are like only 40% occupied only... many shops are still yet to open...   Carrefour will open on the 27th Dec 2008 located at the lower ground (B1) floor...  

found something rarely seen in KL shopping centres.... the direction board at the carpark.. is all in English.... hahhaa  Malay wordings (keluar) are only printed on A4 papers... and stick it on the pillars... 

hmmm my first feeling on my 1st visit to the mall.... so so only... mainly because of the inconvenient entrance location... 

and the mall is something like Lot10.. and time square...only...    Not like 1U, midvalley or pyramid yet...

probably after its grand opening when all shops are open... will be better.... heehheee .. so my next visit will on next year february already.... lolz (coz heard that their opening in on February 09)

**afterall its just my 2 cents...   

hahaha but i got my xmas gift here... the glass chess.

-n-

Happy Dong Zhi Festival

Today is dong zhi (冬至) day. 

This is also known as the Winter Solstice Festival which is a festival in the month of December, (Eleventh Moon in Chinese calendar)

Literally meaning the "arrival (至) of winter (冬)?, Dong Zhi is the second most important festival of the Chinese calendar, and is considered the thanksgiving of the Chinese calendar. Dong Zhi is the last festival of the year. Coinciding with the winter solstice, it is a time for the entire family to get together to celebrate the past good year. Glutinous rice balls known as Tang Yuan (汤圆) are cooked and eaten to signify unity and harmony within the family.

eaten tang yuan already??.. hahaaa i just ate mine.... lazy to make the traditional yuan... mum bought the alr made from supermarket with black sesame in it..

besides that.. mum cooked red bean soup too.... so i add my tang yuan inside.. hahhaa.... yes so yummy....

btw.. search thru the web.. found something interesting to read... the origins of Dong Zhi. =]

ORIGINS OF DONG ZHI
Celebrated on the longest night of the year, Dong Zhi is the day when sunshine is weakest and daylight shortest. The sun is at the Tropic of Capricorn & this results in the longest night of the year for those living in the northern hemisphere. Dong Zhi has its origins in the farmer's celebrations of the year-end harvest.

The ancient Chinese farmers divided the year into 24 "joints" of two weeks, and as a result, each Dong Zhi occurs six weeks before the Chinese New Year. Dongzhi usually falls between December 21 and 23. Dong Zhi was in fact the antecedent of Chinese New Year, as some of the earlier emperors celebrated the new year at Dong Zhi. This lasted till Emperor Han Wu Di decided to fix the Lunar New Year at the beginning of each year.

Even today, some Chinese ?traditionalists? insist that everyone turns a year older after Dong Zhi. The celebration of Dong Zhi is also deeply rooted in the Chinese belief of yin and yang, which represent balance and harmony in life. The Chinese believe
that although the yin qualities of darkness and cold are at their most powerful at the time of Dong Zhi, it is also a turning point, heralding the dawning of the light and warmth of yang. Because of this, Dong Zhi is considered a time of optimism.

Why Chinese celebrate this festival
Dong Zhi is a time for family reunion. Tang Yuan, sweet soup of glutinuous rice flour balls, is indispensible during this festival. "Yuan" (literally meaning "round") signifies "yuan man" (complete / ??? ) and Tang Yuan means "tuan yuan" (family reunion / ??? ). Eating Tang Yuan is symbolic of family unity and family prosperity.

Wish everyone Happy Dong Zhi Festival.... !!
