The tangyuans

The seventh bitter gourd baby

 

Niece's birthday cake

 
Beautiful shining bright sky 

Winter solstice is a festival that full of memories. In Singapore, I asked for a bowl of tangyuans because I wanted to grow one year older. In Shanghai, I asked the guard how to make red bean paste to put inside the tangyuans, and finally I did it. In Kuala Lumpur, I made tangyuans and had DSLR session with university mates after work during Christmas Eve because the next day would be a holiday. In Taiwan, I enjoyed the free ginger tangyuans from a university canteen stall owner who has similar diet principles with me. 

How about my next winter solstice? I looking forward to it. 

Good 😴

Dough drop soup

 

Another work, another satisfaction. 

With good soup base, dough drop soup is always delicious while warming me in the cold weather, and the chaos. 

With tomato, there is always a good soup base to create. 

So tomato is the key ingredient that bring up the soul of the soup. 

Nice sleep, nice dreams, nice tomorrow.

It grants a good sleeping time after a hardworking day though. Somehow my reactions are always different from others. Typical alien🙃 

Nice sleep, nice tomorrow 🍀

No suicide

No Ridsect. 

Because when you spray the artificial toxin, you breathe in it at the same time. That's suicide. Why so stupid? 

Find the root reason. Be wise.

"The newest global Container Port Performance Index (CPPI) reveals that East and Southeast Asian ports excelled in 2023, accounting for 13 of the top 20 places.
Major ports need to invest in resilience, new technology, and green infrastructure to ensure the stability of global markets and the sustainability of the shipping industry."

New norm × TCM clinic

A calligraphy work by the late father of a local western medical practitioner that hang on the wall of a local TCM practitioner.

This morning was started with another synchronization. I am accepting it as part of norm now but I am curious about what would be and happen after this. 

Sweet sleep. Be blessed. 
 

Second coconut opening

 

The taste is simply natural sweet and good at a worthy level that brings a feeling of being blessed. It is raining outside now so a sweet sleep is granted. Be blessed. 

Retreat

It was actually a full pretty rainbow in the hot evening, of a ________ day in this cruel world. Forgive my mobile phone. Sweet dreams. Be blessed.

Looks good

Life is full of different beautiful colours. With the light, I can see them clearly. You got to be courageous to come understand the dark and down sides as well. Be blessed. 

Three red dragonflies

Somehow I decided to go to that area and met three red dragonflies there. I stayed there for some times and checked around but there was no any other dragonflies. Just three red dragonflies. 

Because...

A surprising visit, and sweet

Sweet when matured

Sweet when bloomed

Sweet when ripened

My third uncle, aunty and their third kid visited us today. It was surprising because they didn't informed earlier, and coincidentally we stayed at home today. It was good to catch up with them. I found they liked plants as well. They spend morning time as the physical education time in an orchard. My cousin even plants some herbs in her apartment balcony. And she prepares her lunch boxes by herself during working days as well. So nice of us 😂

The mugwort, Brazilian spinach and sugar apple seedling were three plants followed them went back to Melaka. Also this 70+ yo uncle had climbed up a ladder to pluck a papaya. I am still happy now for been able to share plants with people who appreciate the value of plants🌱  

I am happy all the day actually, Thank You. Take a good rest, have sweet dreams😴💭 and then turn dreams real 🍀

Good starter

Before morning class

Connected in the noon

Tranquil evening

 May December be a good starter. 

Nice rest, nice health. 

Flower and fruit

 

Growing plants is creating miracles. Now I know that those small steps in current daily life are leading me to a special miracle in a later then time. 

Be blessed.
