a very busy Saturday morning. after baby r received her little surprise and had some nice shots taken with daddy.... i started to be really busy in the kitchen. cooked baby r's porridge early as we were gog to gx's collegues' place for gathering. its a pot luck party and we were gog to bring asparagus wrapped with bacon. gx did the wrapping up and skewing. i heat it up on the grill pan. busy busy busy!
we were late... pretty late!!! but we were not the last to arrive! the food laid on the table was really good! i enjoyed eating and had a filled tummy! our dish was finished and there not enough for people who came late! we were given the privillege to in the airconditioned room as baby r was really feeling hot and her head was filled with beads of sweat! the ladies in the house all played with her and she kept herself so active, jumping non-stop when joanne held her and she couldnt keep still! she was fascinated with the big pooh bear and doremon! but not when they blocked her from climbing up to touch the window!
from Jurong we drove all the way to laguna and the little one finally slept! she fought her afternoon nap all the way and refused to rest at all. she still didnt sleep enough as she was awake once at laguna! popo tired herself out in the kitchen and also the medication for her water retention might have caused her to feel uncomfortable and alittle giddy. she had to lie in bed for quite awhile. when i offered to help to slice the fish up for the steamboat, she told me that i dun have the strength. so i went to call for my hubby. he was so willing to help me out and he took the chopper and took over. think my mum felt comforted when her son-il helped her out.
besides the usual family steamboat, mum made a pencai! i was so filled! i loved the dessert mum prep! harashima?? not so sure of the spelling. it toad glands... yup... sounds disgusting but its nice! didnt have any space for a 2nd bowl! we didnt manage to stay for the lo hei which made me pretty made with gx.... mum was hurrying preparing it in the kitchen and yet he insisted gog... thou i know its not nice to make my pils wait... was pretty pissed still... cos maybe i was afraid... i didnt want that to the last time i lo hei with mum... he will never understand my worries... things can never be the same... never know what might happen... didnt say a thing about how i felt as i didnt want any quarrels... hated him at that point when we left the house... when i got into the car.... i calmed down and held onto baby r's hand while she slept... but really...man seriuosly can be pretty irritating! a few days later, my mil told me to message her next time if we needed some time for lo hei or cut cake in future parties... she told me they can sit and eat slowly, have a drink while waiting for us.... I was touched to hear that.... i m lucky to have such understanding mil!
