Asian Root.. Modern Leaves?

So yeah I've thought about this on Sunday and my brain can't stop harrasing me till I blog this off.

Can you imagine how good it is to wake up at 7.30am on a Sunday?
(are you kidding? anyone would kill for some extra sleep in!) But yeh it actually feels good... My Sundays were usually the earliest at 8-ish to 9, but thats because Sundays are usually the stay and enjoy home days, haha. I swapped it with Saturday this time.

Some time spent browsing mag while devouring my Sausage McMuffin, hmmm even that hunky lad from the gym don't come close. (actually he aint that hunky.. just that he looks boyishly charming, but a tad bit too old-fashioned-chinese-look; not my type)

A decent looking car pulled up and a late twenties to early thirties man stepped out (well he looked that age, unless he has been downing collagen pills then different story). And then his dad... a really old "ah pak" with a walking stick. My first thought? Wow, so fillial!! Taking his old man for breakfast on a weekend (instead of a woman he shags.. yeah I know I'm mean)

Anyway, that a very soothing sight.. you know, accompanying your parent/s. And I started to think, does this still happen alot here nowadays? Certainly not so in the West, but its also slowing fading away here...

I myself have always have meals with my momma at least a few times a month and feel pretty normal. But seeing another doing is feels a lil weird.. hehe.

So just a thought.. nice to know there are ppl out there who cares about their parents instead of chucking them into homes... But hell, I might end up in one hey? Since I don't fancy having kids.... bloody hell.

Stinky But Yummy Juice

Momma got me go green with jealousy with her fruit enzymes and vinegar!
*grins* not that I'm unable to make them, I just dont have enough spaces in my fridge. I finished my bottle of tomato enzyme (it better helps in fighting off cancer!) and am so tempted to make another jar.

But a little lazy coz momma just gave me a bottle of papaya enzyme.. and golly its tasty! My greedy lil taste buds are yearning for the delicious berries mixed with papaya... yummmmm.. spoilt girl. ;)

Black Dates Vinegar
-improve weak spleen and stomach function
-resolves fatigue (desperately need this)

600gm black dates
150gm brown sugar
1000ml vinegar

My Mama Said....

One of those out of the blue reflection that hit me with a smile:-

I was preparing to cook dinner, chopping a clove of garlic. I kinda whacked it flat to remove the skin and suddenly thought about momma..

The first time I chopped garlic, it took me like forever coz I was pretty slow mo and got a lil too careful. Momma laughed at me and teased: "My darling daughter.. the garlic won't feel pain you know.. now you just have to give it a good whack and it'll be done.." Lol.. I'm weird in a way I feel that all things have feelings. Like I won't trim plants with perfectly good leaves coz its painful and wasting? Hahaha..

And momma would always (ALWAYS) remind me that things won't feel hurt so I don't have to be soooo gentle doing stuffs (like peeling oranges, pinching bean sprouts etc)

Anyway it did some good for me.. dinner was a breeze, else it probably would take hours hahaha. I was thinking hmm will I be saying this to my daughter in the future? Nah!!! I don't want kids :P

Nice Saturday.. good to stay home all day without going out.

I also realised that it would probably kill me if I own a mansion.. imagine all the cleaning. Not gonna spend my weekend cleaning 7 toilets, thank you!!! xD

Feels good thinkin of my momma.. gave a call some minutes ago, she was playing mahjong. How cool was that? ;)
