Yesterday was the start of Sukkot, a 7 days biblical holidays observed by Jews, also known as Feast of Booths or Feast of Tabernacles. During this day, Jews are supposed to make a pilgrimage to the Temple of Jerusalem and also built
Sukkah (booths or tents like structures made from leaves or twigs) in remembrance of the fragil dwellings that the Israelites lived in during the 40 years of travel in the desert after Exodus from slavery in Egypt. They are supposed to eat and sleep inside these booths during Sukkot.
Above is a picture a booth or tent-like structure taken from the balcony in my neighborhood. It feels like camping to me....hehee....
Anyway, I was back from SG yesterday. It was good to be back home and the four days flew past very quickly. Managed to eat my good old chwee kway, Nyonya rice dumplings, Thai express, gong cha (for the first time), fish porridge, soya bean pudding etc...arghhh....so much to eat but only one stomach. Surprisingly, we din gain much weight becoz we've been 'LS' (diarrhoea) the past few days maybe not used to the food back home.
Our last food eaten in SG at changi Airport T1, soya bean milk with grass jelly and Mr & Mrs Happy donuts from Dunkin Donuts.
10 more days to go in Israel before I go back home in SG for good!
