Rice Dumpling..ohoh! Dragon Boat Festival!

Today is the 5th May on lunar calendar, which is one of the three very important holidays of Chinese people: The Dragon Boat Festival. Along with the Chinese New Year, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival is traditionally a holiday that family members should gather together to celebrate it.

The tradition has changed a bit, however, but several rituals were kept still. Among them, rice dumpling, dragon boat race, and egg stand remain.

People still wrap rice dumplings, which use glutinous rice, egg yolk, Chinese mushrooms, pork, and so on as contents, as well as mainly bamboo leaves as covers and hemp string to tight them up. When ready, we steam them with bamboo steamers to make it full of natural fragrance; taste it with soybean sauce, chily sauce, or ketchup.

The BEST rice dumplings ever are those made by my grandma, and I used to look for it every year. Don't know if this time I'll so lucky again~

As for the dragon boat race, it could be better explained by telling you a brief story of a famous Chinese poet- Chu Yuan. He is also a statesman of his time, Warring States Period. He has tried hard to admonish his emperor to practice certain policy, in vain, so he committed suicide, drowning himself into the river, to show his deepest objection. Upon the time when people of Chu knew this, they tossed rice dumplings into the river to avoid the fish eating his body; they rowed the boat to search his body, and try to frighten the fish away. Descend from this action, Chinese people developed the dragon boat afterwards, and held the race in memory of Chu Yuan.

Nowadays, the Taipei City Government holds the race annualy. The major, YingJio Ma, even leads his colleagues to form a team every time. Some other counties, like YiLan, hold similar but international challenge race. Those are also hit!

Lastly, the egg stand. The magic of Nature makes the noon of today the best time to have an egg stand upright on a flat surface. It has been a game expected and loved by kids for centuries. Public/private sectors usually plan a certain campaign like "1,000 People with 1,000 Standing Eggs" to celebrate this moment.

Hmmmm, what's the festival for me now?
I'm glad that I earn a good day rest without work :D

soSOsoSOsoSO in Love~

Night View

I went to Mt. YangMing last friday night to prepare for the following day activity: "Lifelong Learning Train Start-Up Ceremony." Late that night, before Curt rode me to his dorm, I asked him take me to the famous night view spot- Valentines' Slope near Chinese Culture University.

It was not my first time there, but the night view might be the best ever in my memory. I can't help taking some photos of it, and scheduled the revisit at late June. hehehehe~~~~

"Leaving on the Jetplane" I FINALLY Found It!!!

I love this song sooooo much while staying in KISC, but I failed to know its name and thus never have the chance to listen to it again after coming back home. On the closing ceremony of the symposium, several delegates accidently started to sing the song. JEEZ!!!! I finally got its name!!! And, what follows is the lyrics:
*****************************************
Leaving on the Jetplane- by John Denver
All my bags are packed
I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breaking it's early morning
The taxi is waiting, he is blowing his horn
Already I'm so lonesome, I could cry

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you 'll wait for me
Hold me like you never let me go
I'm leaving on a jetplane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

There are so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now they don't mean a thing.
Every place I go I think of you
Every song I sing I sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring

So kiss me and wait for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jetplane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave along
About the time I won't have to say

So kiss me and wait for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you never let me go
I'm leaving on a jetplane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

I'm leaving on a jetplane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go.....

Serious Decision

Let's try cross the border line!
Be aware, my future!

Good Song-不換-by 萬芳

萬芳-不換
http://Orz.net/laljz

作詞:李宗盛 / 作曲:熊天平
不知道該是直走 或左轉
沒有人 催我為他做晚飯
沒有你 不習慣;沒有你 言輕語暖
沒人心疼我 這麼晚還加班

想念你 鑽進被窩 說晚安
告訴我什麼事情讓你心煩
說台北 太亂;說日劇 結局太慘
說著說著 就只聽見你打鼾....

擁有你 多浪漫;有你多心安 再辛苦也變得坦然
過去的挫折都不算 你是我的期盼
有你多浪漫 多心安 這一切多不平凡
世界都給我也不換 一生有你 豐富圓滿
豐富圓滿....

Red Theatre

I went to Red Theatre for a traditional Chinese show 29th of April with Mom, Dad, Ms. Ni, and a Chi-Lan in my mom's school. It's my first time to step inside, and I was regretful for the terrible mistake I made- I should go there far earlier!!! Red Theatre is a place full of historical fragrance, and the crew have run it in a delicate way, which made it sparkled amazingly.

When we just arrived, we took several pictures outside the building, and those are funny. One among them was Chi-Lan and I did her typical pose when felt embarrassed simultaneously. I guessed that was the one helped shorten our distance. The folowing one is more normal, but it was a pity that she closed her eyes XD ....Ohwell, our purpose to go there was to see a show, remember? It's called: "Big Bowls of Tea in Taipei台北大碗兒茶," and combined series of traditional Chinese theatres in a show, including Chinese Comic Dialogue, Tongue Twister, Bamboo Clapper Dialogue, and Plum Blossom Style Drum Song. From childhood, my brother and I have loved the Chinese Comic Dialogue so much. We listened to the tape of Master Lung-Hao Wei & Chao-Nan Wu again and again, and nothing could get us tired. We even remembered several tongue twisters and enjoyed to show off someitmes. So, you can picture how good I felt when accessed the amazing Chinese theatre world again :)

Hahahahaha... I laughed so hard throughout the show!!!! And I cannot help buy Pedro a CD immediately, without second thought- he's gonna love this! I'm sure!!!

I have one more reason to revisit the Red Theatre- I found fantastic traditional presents on its first floor! Guess what? My purse lost quite some "weight" there....>"< Yet I believe, my foreign friends gonna have other reason to love me again!!!!

Would you consider visit the Red Theatre? Come! Don't be shy~ You're always welcomed!!!
