The war of mooncakes

Dear Pupu

I've been busy this week. The main reason was the programming assignment. We were asked to write a program that could do Simpson's 1/3 rule. Then as for bonus marks, we could also write a function that could do an exact integration of any polynomial. After spending nights trying to compile and solve the errors, I managed to do it with some help.

Mooncake festival is coming soon~! Do you know how mooncake festival comes about?

Once upon a time in China, all the mooncakes were divided into two clans: The Baked Skin Mooncakes and the Snowskin Mooncakes. Both clans had been fighting each other since the beginning of time, using toothpicks and ice-cream sticks. Their skins were torn and lotus fillings splashed all over the ground. No end of the war was in sight. Thus to strengthen the army, the Baked Skin Mooncakes clan created soldiers with double eggyolks and harder skins. The Snowskin Mooncakes clan created soldiers with different kinds of fillings and color of skin to confuse the enemy.

A decapitated Baked Skin mooncake soldier....

Unfortunately, more fillings was shed and both clans suffered severe losses. Then one day, a blacksmith mooncake forged a golden mooncake. The golden mooncake was imbued with power from the moonlight and grants its user infinite power. A brave Snowskin Mooncake (Champagne flavoured) traveled under harsh conditions, rough terrain and fought Baked Skin Mooncakes to reach Mount Mooncake, where the golden mooncake was placed. His white skin beared severe scratch marks and burns.

Finally with the power granted by the golden mooncake, the brave Champagne mooncake commanded both clans to end the war and declared that all mooncakes are equal. To celebrate and commemorate the dawn of peace, every year on the same day was declared as the mooncake festival when the moon was the brightest.

So there you have it! Now we know why there are different flavour of mooncakes and why we celebrate it during full moon.

Peace~
