Yesterday was the Dragon Boat Festival but sad to say that this year, no dumplings from Angel’s grandma coz she is back at hometown and we are here, just to far to sent those dumplings over and I really misses Angel grandma’s dumpling so much. *saliva all over the place now* No choice but have to ask hubby to get some from the market, they taste ok but still, no taste of ‘home’ if you know what I mean :) Mom’s cooking is always the best! But I also get to know from ‘someone’ that she is so lucky enough to get some dumplings from Angel’s grandma yesterday …… so envy!!! Oh, how I wish I could get a bite too :P :P
So that I heard there was a tradition saying that if you are able to make an egg stand up at noon time of the Dragon Boat Festival day, luck will be at your side in the coming year. So I set my alarm 10 minutes before noon and start trying to make my egg stand up in the kitchen table while Angel is pulling and climbing on the other side of the table wondering what I am doing and certainly wants to lay her hands on those eggs, I can’t seems to make the egg stands still after several attempts until suddenly …….. the clock strikes 12 pm and my egg just suddenly stood upright on my kitchen table, just like that, free standing on it’s own …………… OMG! I just can’t believe my eyes, it’s so …… ‘unnatural’ !!!!! LoL
Actually this phenomenon can be explain scientifically due to the gravitation between the sun and the earth are pulling each other to the most one this particular day of the year in lunar calender and hence those eggs can be made standing up more easily. Although I have witness the phenomenon myself with my own eyes but somehow, my brains keep refuse to accept the fact that it is true and I have done it! Coz again … it’s so ‘unnatural’ to the eyes!!!!!! LoL

About the standing eggs, I have tried this one before during the eclipse. I was amazed too when I could make them stand upright by themselves.
Out of curiousity, what is this festival for?
wow, I shall try the egg trick next year. Angel's certainly sweeter than the dumplings !
Dear All, thanks for the sweet comments :) I do hope that I have good good luck in the year ahead coz I really need them :) :).

Anggie, ya .... in this particular day of the year, the egg is easier to stand upright due to the gravitation between the sun and the earth :)
Olive, not only you are lost of date .... me too, I only knew about it few days before the festival :)

HN & Queenie, thanks :)
Family First, actually 1 year is not that long ... just that we will tends to forget when the time arrived again :P
Oh.. I never heard of the egg-standing phenomenon... Is it cooked/uncooked egg?
Definitely mum's cooking is always the best ya! *wink wink* Don't be sad. If your mum were there, you can just ask her to make the dumpling, though it's not Dumpling Festival anymore, but who cares actually? I sometimes too ask my mum/grandma to make them whenever I feel like eating them. Of coz, gotta help out a bit.. :)
For the last bit, of coz Angel is much sweeter!!!
Esmeralda, it's uncooked egg .... I only came to know about this phenomenon lately :)
