Easter

I just found out the existence of Easter last year when I was playing Facebook's fluff, searching for hidden eggs. I've never knew what day is that until the minute before I type this entry, I went to search for it (so basically last year I just searched for the eggs without knowing why am I searching for, how stupid).

"Easter is the most important religious feast in the Christian liturgical year Christians believe that Jesus was resurrected from the dead three days after his crucifixion, and celebrate this resurrection on Easter Day or Easter Sunday (also Resurrection Day or Resurrection Sunday), two days after Good Friday. "


Oh, so it's a religion thingy. But why are people selling chocolate eggs and mallows all over the places?

"As with many other Christian dates, the celebration of Easter extends beyond the church. Since its origins, it has been a time of celebration and feasting and many Traditional Easter games and customs developed, such as Egg rolling, Egg tapping, Pace egging and Egg decorating. Today Easter is commercially important, seeing wide sales of greeting cards and confectionery such as chocolate Easter eggs, marshmallow bunnies, Peeps (marshmallow candies), and jelly beans."


Oh, like that is it. But why Facebook created the game to ask us to search for hidden eggs?

"Throughout North America, New Zealand and Australia the Easter holiday has been partially secularized, so that some families participate only in the attendant revelry, central to which is (traditionally) decorating Easter eggs on Saturday evening and hunting for them Sunday morning, by which time they have been mysteriously hidden all over the house and garden."


Oh, I see I see. This year I didn't play Facebook's Eatser game though (I don't know if there's any, cause I abandon Fluff for a long long time already, probably my tofu (fluff) is dead now), I went to buy some Easter stuff instead.

Cadbury Easter Orange Mallows


I don't really like the taste, it's polluted by the orange flavoring, but the mallow is good.

The other thing I bought was this.

Guess what's inside?

Yeap, a milk chocolate egg and two milk chocolate crispy bars (I bought this cause it's cheap and it's The Simpsons, William likes The Simpsons. But well, the main reason is that it was cheaper than any other eggs, blek).

So hooray, I don't need to look for those illusory eggs now cause I have a real eat-able Easter egg infront of me! ;)
William: I win, I have two eggs.
KarTeng: Grrr...You dirty little man!

William: It is for you what.. *innocent look*
KarTeng: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
