Kung fu xiaobao

So far today kinda uneventful. Didn't have dinner last night. After breakfast this morning, picked up some more vegetables and cooked some sweet corns for snacks. Am now making mung bean soup (it's *cool* for the system, I should eat more during my last few months to ensure smooth delivery, yes some Chinese believes which I thought I'll follow, no harm done cos I like different sorts of beans anyway)

Watermelon is another *cool* fruit, so am drinking watermelon juice to cool (temperature wise here) down cos I just came from the kitchen which is always boiling hot! Our air-con is really messed up, need to replace it because I reckon it'll die any time soon. Basically the room just isn't 'cold' at all after leaving it on for the whole night and we even need to have the fan on when sleeping...well it is more than a decade old now. This is the only air-con I've seen ever since I am in HK (lol) I guess it's been doing its job quite well...time to retire...

Xiaobao wise, he's seriously kicking some *shxt* out of me lately. Whilst I am typing, he's sticking out real hard, my tummy is basically a triangle in the front! People here say a round tummy is a girl and a pointy one is a boy. I think he likes others to know it's a he. Well we all know that ... can you please stop sticking out or kicking...Sleeping proves to be a bit more difficult now that he's so 'active'. He used to react to babyplus and move around when it's on, but now he's just having fun kicking the devise while listening to it. Either way, I am getting all the kicks. See the picture, he's sticking all the way on my right! It's stone hard. No exaggeration.



Tonight we are gonna have sweet peas with ham, sausages fried with eggs (so far that's what we have in the fridge), might have to get more ingredients later. Oh we have beef, but nothing to fry it with. Need broccoli...I just saw a growing garlic underneath the cooker - strange...it must have been there since mom!!!, it's growing antennas....

As for lunch, think we'll have noodles with lettuce and fish balls :) For your reference, 'fish balls' aren't really it's literal meaning of being fish's balls. Instead they are made of fish, just in the shape of a ball. They come in different forms, some are deep fried fish balls (they are not crispy though) just that they have a golden coat to it instead of the normal white. Or you can have curry fish balls. One of our famous local snacks here on the street. Loads in Mongkok. This picture will do :) this dude is enjoying his fish balls with a cold drink. On his back is our typical stalks in Mongkok selling street snacks. They are not especially expensive, usually $5 or $10 for each item. Depends on what you order, you might as well having your lunch there having different variety of snacks. Oh trust me, they can fill you up.

Anyway enough for the fishballs, tomorrow is school again! Goes so fast when you have to be at work on a Saturday. I'll have to wear mask in school starting tomorrow...not looking forward to that...teaching with mask on is very 'hot'!
