冬至



轉眼又冬至了。
雖然這個節日在我們熱帶國家很廢,我們還是延續傳統。
我們沒有冬天。所以改用雨季來代替。

小時候老媽跟我講,冬至要吃湯圓,然後你就算大一嵗了。
我就覺得華人很累。先不要管爲什麽吃湯圓就大一嵗。
我們來做一個數學題。
冬至大一嵗,農曆新年大一嵗,農曆生日大一嵗,
然後人日又大一嵗。一年要大四嵗,死了還要加三嵗。

所以,華人是不是比 Ang Mo 老得快???

唉。。。很久沒有回家吃湯圓了。 Sad 到完。。。

...was oblivious of it till I saw bowls of Tang Yuan sitting on the counter at a Vietnamese-Chinese store from where I got my breakfast. Quickly, "Can I have two of those?" I asked.

Therefore, this morning -- one for me, one for my colleague -- we were remembering the winter solstice and recalling the warm moments back home. And yes, I had a wonderful day in the office today!
