Happy Winter Solstice Day

I know these days my blog had been a little boring as i didn't know want to post what. Just some normal days what i've been through these few days. Work, eat, sleep and sex ( LOL.. joking )

Today is Winter Solstice Day. Actually, i really don't know how to call it in English as i heard they always called it " Tang Yuan Festival ". Suddenly, Digi has sent me a greeting message and it is written Happy Winter Solstice Day. Ok lo... learn something today. My sister a.k.a my boss, suggested to make glutinous rice balls at shop since there were not much customers at that time. You know what she did? As i know some people may use red bean and yam for the filling but my sis, she put char siew, chicken vegetable, red bean, yam and curry chicken ( all of these are the fillings at my shop that i used to make paus ).. I was just like OMG....... you should know how it would taste with that combination.

I was just curious why is it called Winter Solstice so i started googled to search for some informantion about it. Then i found this...

" If you have ever wondered what makes a solstice a solstice, allow me to explain. Most people understand that Earth rotates on it's axis once every "24" hours and revolves around the sun once in "365" days. But many are not aware of a third relative motion: The Earth's axis tilts forward about 23 degrees for the Northern Hemispheres summer and 23 degrees back for its winter. It is this tilt that causes the seasons. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilting forward, it gets the most direct sunlight for the longest time and produces summer. As we move toward Winter Solstice we get less direct sunlight and less time in the sun.

The line at which the Northern Hemisphere tilts its furthest distance forward is called the Tropic of Cancer. The line at which the Northern Hemisphere tilts furthest back is called the Tropic of Capricorn. The Equator is directly between these two lines. When the sun sits directly over the equator, we are having either our Spring or Autumnal Equinox. "

HAPPY WINTER SOLSTICE EVERYONE ! !! !!!
