Ginger in the Air

Preparations have started for my confinement. David's girlfriend helped us get some tonic wine not long ago, and my mum also helped us to buy the yellow wine (direct translation! haha) to be used for cooking chicken during my confinement. Mother asked her sisters to help buy good quality old ginger from JB so that I would have good-tasting dishes during my confinement. You should have seen the huge bag of ginger! I have never seen so much ginger in my life before!

For the past few days, Mother has been chopping the ginger into really fine pieces. Dear Dear also helped her cos it's really tiring having to chop up so much ginger. Then today, they were busy in the kitchen frying all the ginger they chopped so that the ginger would be fragrant and ready for cooking anytime. The aroma and fragrance of the fried ginger really were awesome! (Thank God people don't eat smelly beancurd for confinement, if not i really can't imagine...)

Mother & Dear Dear really loves me so much. You can imagine how hot the whole kitchen was but they just kept frying & frying & frying. All for my sake. Hmm.. Looks like my confinement dishes would be super delicious. Cos it's filled with love & sacrifice. Haha..

The day is drawing so near. Soon I'd be able to see Joey. I am really looking forward to seeing what she looks like after carrying her for so long in my tummy. : ) It could be as soon as end next month, so it's happening real fast. Kaishen was telling me the other day via msn that after seeing me for another 4 more bible studies, it's time already. haha.. cos he always sees me when he goes for weekly bible studies at YMCA. If I think that way, it's really fast leh!

Joey as usual has been so so so super active. Sometimes once she starts moving, she will keep moving for the next 5 minutes non stop. Maybe that's when she wakes up from sleep, and wants to stretch herself. Ever since I saw her from the scan the last time at Dr Chew's clinic, I have been trying to visualise what each of her movements are. Sometimes when she sticks her foot against the wall of my tummy, I will try to visualise I am touching her small little foot. haha.. Well, I guess it's not long before I can hold the real thing. : )
