I have never really been a fan of mooncakes but I have sort of changed my perception this year. Somehow. Baking queen aunt has been baking up a mooncake storm. So far, I've had chocolate and banana mooncake, nuts, white bean paste with yolk and some more including
Minnie mouse mooncake! So super cute, don't you agree? I think it has black bean paste filling. Not really sure. And the eyes are not edible.
Apart from that, we've also received tons of mooncakes from the parents' friends and so forth.
Pandan mooncake. Not very sweet which is good.
I still reckon green tea mooncake tastes a lot like perfume. It's just too fragrant. Somehow.
Okay. I should stop using Somehow.
Ham and nuts mooncake. I like!! =D
I haven't been to my aunt's flower shop in ages. Mom and I went there last Tuesday to help her out with some last minute goodie packing. T'was closing time anyway so we worked in the in a pretty small space amid all the racks of snacks and the like that were brought into the shop after spending a day outdoors.
I love the many colours a flower shop has.
Silvery thingus hanging from the ceiling.
Pretty wooden stick things. Nice colours though.
Great balls of roses hanging from the ceiling.
More flowers. Love the colours =D
Another sticks in a vase thingus.
More great balls of roses.
Pretty, pretty. =)
I've been thinking.
Some people say that if they had lived to see what Jesus had done (His miracles, listened to Him preach, so forth) or was one of his disciples, they would trust in Him and have faith in Him more.
Truth is, don't they realize that He was, back then, a human like any of us too?
Imagine if Jesus still existed as a human being today. After performing all those miracles and healings, would we be worshiping him as the Son of God or would we think that he is another trickster?
Listening to a sermon on Faith in the car since mom wants to listen to it on the drive to work and the what the preacher said is right.
If we were to exist and witness the healings, teachings and miracles of Jesus, it would be hard for us to have more faith in him because then, Jesus was also a human too, like the rest of us.
He got dirty like us. He got sweaty, like us. He tripped, fell down, had those little moments, just like us.
However, if we looked beyond the physical being, we would know that He is truly the Son of God.
I bet most people paint this picture in their heads that Jesus was always all shiny and white and fresh looking during his short human period on earth. Believe me I did to but that sermon made me realize that it is just a picture. The fact remains, Jesus did live like the rest of us too, for that short period.
Having faith is not something physical. It is believing something that is yet to happen. Something you cannot see.
Just something that I have been thinking about.
Till then.
