Today is a big day to all chinese thru-out the world ~ We call it "過冬".
Is the day when everyone in the family will sit together and have dinner, meaning that every member of the Wong family will join the dinner. 4uncles, 6 aunties plus my dad, that will be 11 smaller families... no kidding man, that's alot of Wongs.
過冬 means the family re-uion...


Normally my grandma and all the mothers in Wongs will make some 汤圆, some round shaped flour-balls, looks something like this:

bolied together with some chickens, sometimes pork, and with some vege ( which i really hate it).

and also something this:

I don't remember when is the last time i had dinner with my family for "過冬" already. Been "out" for almost 5~6 years, meaning not living with my family. And the worse is, my parents will call me up on these kind of festival or events to tell me what kind of dishes my mom made, who was there for dinner, lots of fun they are having and all that, damn sad ler. Staying alone outside and all the friends have no time to accompany me, since they all have "home" to go..... damm sad ler, for the first time my mom did that i actually cried, after she hung up. But now I am kind of get used to it already. After so many year being "alone", I guess i better get used to it, I am not gonna cry again when my call me on big days and tell me that they are having fun right ?

I Miss my family so much...

想得家中夜深坐，还应说著远行人。
