It's the 5th day of the 5th lunar month - and it's Duanwu Jie AKA Dragon Boat Festival time! Glutinous rice dumplings which are associated with this festival are in plenty at the shops but they're not really my favourite and most of the time I opt for those made with brown rice, which are more kind to the tummy. This year, I remembered to wash my face at 12 p.m. sharp. The water that you get from the tap at this time is known as "Goh See" water and is said to give one a youthful and beautiful complexion, I certainly hope it works, haha!
Everyone knows the story of the Patriotic Poet but here's a video which I found to refresh the memory.
ENJOY YOUR DUMPLINGS EVERYONE!
