Year Cake.

It's a tradition to eat Nian gao (年糕) for Chinese New Year as it symbolises raising oneself higher each year. As in 粘糕=年糕=年高=年年高升. So to wish a person good health, eat some Nian Gaos with them.

Mom bought some "new year cake' home and we ate it with dessicated coconut coating the warm sticky sweet 年糕. Om Nom NOMMIES!

We're the ones who still believe, and we're looking for a page. In that lifeless book of hope, where a dream might help you cope, with the bushes and the bombs are tranquillized.
