My family will be celebrating by making tay (sorry I don’t know the English translation or proper pingying for that word), so let me just show you. Below are some photos of Grandma’s tay:

Grandma has secret recipes for all her tay. One day, I’m hoping she’ll share with me. ^______^

Of course, we’ll also be digging into mooncake. My aunt got a variety of different flavored mooncakes (sans yolk) from a Starbucks in Shanghai.

Square root day (3/3/09) came upon us and passed, Friday the 13th was yesterday, and today, well, today is Pi day! This March is an exciting month for numbers, indeed. To celebrate, here are two songs about Pi. The first from the nerdy boys of Hard n’ Phirm and the other from the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack.


Enjoy and happy Pi day,
Ninja

Happy lunar new year!! 恭喜發財 for our Chinese-speaking friends. ^__^

The year of the rat has ended and 2009 ushers in the year of the ox. Those born in the year of the ox are known for their leadership, patience, strong imagination, appreciation for beauty, and sharp wit.

Roar. I tried to make him a grinning ox, but he seems a little sinister.

Cute oxen, cows, and bulls are everywhere in the Asian food markets.
