Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

I just found a link about the festival on CCTV, as the newscaster said, it is a day for family reunion.Ohh...now I am OFFICIALLY missing my family back home indeed.

Also there are different versions of the origin of Mid-Autumn Festival; personally, I prefer the Chang E one (sad & romantic). So have a look as if you may find different opinion from mine.

What do people normally do on Mid-Autumn Festival? Not only appreciating the beauty of the BRIGHT & BIG full moon, but also having the delicious moon cakes of many different flavors.

Link : Typing Pinyin in Word

Finally! Finally! I don't need to insert any symbol to show the tone of each character!

My friend has found me a very useful software called "Pinyinput" - with it, you can just type Pinyin with tone marks in Word! No more symbol, no more copy and paste! Please check the link and download for your typing practice at home.

After installing, do Alt-Shift to cycle through the languages available on the toolbar (of course, we shall go for Chinese first), then Ctrl-Shift to cycle through the different Chinese input methods available (Pinyinput is one of the options).

So if you type "ni 3 hao 3", it shows "nǐhǎo" instead. Then you can save lots of your time to go shopping or having a cuppa with your friends.

Special thanks to Imron for sharing this fantastic tool and my lovely friend who passed me this link! Now we can all enjoy it! ^__^
