MOON CAKE (part 2)

I'm very eager to post some pictures of moon cake.

Thank Onee-chan and setareh for enjoying our culture. And here are the pictures.

Firstly, the traditional cakes includes baking cake (the brown one) and soft cake (the white one):2347129341?profile=original

 In the past (especially in the North) a moon cake box includes 2 baking cakes and 2 soft cakes. The white one is usually round and the brown one can be squared or round.

 Nowadays (especially in the south) I rather see the soft cake. We usually have a box of 4 baking cake

synonyms of robber or thief!

Two days ago, I heard a thug tried to unlatch one of our neighbor's main door. Most probably his intention was robbery. Hearing this piece of information, I became numb and amazed. But, I had no idea that it was not the first incident. Before it, a robber twisted their backdoor but could not open it. Then he sent this sniper who became successful to step into the main entrance.

After that I have been wondering how a man/woman has become a killer or housebreaker! Once, a group of pirates intruded

the boxed ....

We are what the nature we carry……… we do not cross this unseen line  in our whole life… we are match sticks of this box. To recognize our natural habits and temperament; how polite or rude, talkative or reserve, shy or extrovert, frequently express our emotions and feeling or always keep it hidden from surrounding people, is important to know.

 

 Discover yourself looking in the mirror of life but do not forget your rising image in eyes of people around you; these both images make our ultimate ima

MOON CAKE

It is mid autumn now.Every year as soon as my birthday came, I know mid autumn is coming. We have a tradition in autumn.As a country with the similar culture with China, we use both Sun calendar and Moon calendar. The Sun calendar is used for work by younger people. And the Lunar calendar is used for many special occasions. For example: marriage, New Year holiday or choosing a good day to move in a new house... Mid autumn is an example too.(So that in every wall calendar, both Sun and Moon 's da

Religion, God & Spirituality - I

Religion, God & Spirituality

Which came first?

If you could answer it correctly, I am sure you are more spiritual than religious. A person who could correctly differentiate religion and spirituality only can answer it correctly. Unfortunately most of my friends are thinking both are same  L.

A person could be spiritual without even following any religion.

Wait, please think a couple of minute and define what religion is? What spirituality is? Even you know well please do think once again before read

My eagerness, keen and enthusiasm for learning English is intense, extreme and drastic. The vast, huge and broad vocabulary of English language makes me bewildered, puzzled or confused. There are so many words meaning the same like delay, postpone and procrastinate; meanwhile we have some phrasal verbs which mean the same as those verbs like putt off.

I started learning English first as a hobby, pastime or recreation, but as time went by I fell in love with this beautiful, gorgeous and elegant la

Controversy

When and why to live or die?

To say or hide, to lose or find?

Do we love or just adore?

From the heart just, from your core

You feel or sense, embrace or hug?

Absorb, consume!!! Just feel the smack?

Love or leave, lie and believe

Stay or go, be fast or slow

That matters never anymore

Just break that wall, big or small!!!

Barriers, obstacles and troubles

Sort it out, work it out

Fix it, solve it, call it off…

 

All the sentences above

Are just some words, phrases! One thought…

Think it, mind it, give a shot!!!

Dream with me...

I am closing my eyes and immersing myself into the deep ocean. Falling down to a place where I am alone.. only me, myself not disturbed. Here it is real me, not influenced by anybody and anything. I might be lost or down but such dreaming gives me new hope. Hope, which fullfils my body with the invisible drops of energy and gently caress my tired face to assure me that I am not alone. Dreams are my sweet companions, who are always more than welcome.  Sometimes I desperately wish to relax, to esc

An intriguing blog

Some members here keep asking, 'How can I write an intriguing or interesting blog?'

Good question indeed! It makes sense to create a blog which is enchanting or facinating since people enjoy reading them. It's no fun if people don't want to read what you write. 

A charming blog is one which is pleasent or attractive yet thoughtful or informative. Sometimes it's just funny, humourous, lighthearted, cheerful, or amusing. 

You need to come up with a good idea or topic for such a taking, captivating or

Affordability in Hajj

The countdown has begun. In a few days' time Hajj is coming. For those who are able to perform Hajj, they should perform it sooner. Do not say, I am young, I will postpone it till I am old. As long as you are able, do it at once. As for the ability to perform Hajj, the Haji should be healthy and have some mean of transport to travel to the  holy house of Allah. Pilgrims can  travel by planes, cars, animals or choose whatever means of travel they can afford to get there. It depends on the ability

About learning

Today is a wonderful day. I  hiked to a river, and learned my English. I made learning cards. Such as: one side –word in English, another side – word in my own language. And I guess, it is a very comfortable and interesting way for taking new knowledges of a foreign language. In addition, now I know 50 words more. And this is really great. It was a nice day.
