The Moon Cake Festival with a Child's Style Mooncake On quiet Mid-Autumn evenings, when the full moon hangs low and round like a lantern in the sky, some of the most vivid memories are not of the mooncakes themselves, but of something far humbler: a small, golden-brown pig made entirely of mooncake skin, sitting snugly in a bright little “pig basket.” Its glossy back shines under the fluorescent lights of the old bakery. Around it, neat rows of proper mooncakes sit in stately boxes stamped with calligraphy and gold foil. They are gifts for adults—filled with lotus paste, red bean, salted egg yolks. The piglet, by contrast, is clearly a child’s treasure. It looks…

China is imposing a curfew on online gaming for minors, the government has announced. Gamers under 18 will be banned from playing online between 22:00 and 08:00. They will also be restricted to 90 minutes of gaming on weekdays and three hours on weekends and holidays. Its part of China's latest move to curb video game addiction, which officials say is damaging to children's health. China is one of the world's largest gaming markets. The official government guidelines - released on Tuesday - include spending limits for minors. Source & credit: BBC

Hi Master Gd morning! I would like to check with u is it ok to bring home the blanket after my grandfather funeral? Reply: Best not to. If so, never keep it in any bedrooms. Just two years ago, a client brought home and keep it in their storage bed. After doing so, he had lots of wealth issues.

Dear Cecil, My wife has gotten pregnant but we are renovating the house which is technically a bit no no. We are not moving the bed as only the hall area is being renovated. 1) Can i still go ahead with the renovation of the hall area? Bedroom will be sealed off. 2) We are both planning to move to my parents place to sleep. Would this arrangement work better for the renovation and having this done can the renovation go on? 3) What other things do i need to take note of. My wife is not Chinese if that matters. Thanks Albert
