Bacang

The chinese dumpling festival is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calender. The festival is celebrated in remembrance of Qu Yuan, a acholar in the kingdom of Chu during the Warring States period. When the Chu capital was taken over by their neighbour, Qu Yuan drowned himself in the river. Afraid that the fish would devour his body, the people threw packets of rice into the river.

Hang out

Have a splendid 15 minutes walk from the shop to Prangin Mall to meet Seetal for the second time for lunch and a movie. Feeling relax after some time staying indoor.

Reach the mall at the same time with Seetal who come by bus. Since we were planning to watch a movie, we go to Cathay Cineplex to buy our tickets for the 3.20pm Kung Fu Panda movie. =)

As there is still plenty of time before the movie, we went for lunch at a cafe. I order a set of black pepper chicken chop which include a drink, mushroom soup, a plate of fruits and ice cream while Seetal order a plate of herbal jelly with longan on top.

Movie ends at 5pm which i find the animation very hilarious especially the part where the Shifu trained Po using foods as bait for learning kung fu! Since we were not rushing to go home, we have a little snack at McDonalds with me having chicken nuggets and Coke while Seetal have sundae chocolate. Our chit chatting last for an hour where we finally depart for the journey home at 6.15pm with a photo together.
