Good Friday

 

A plate of fried rice cooked by my mother

At first it was said that she, my mother, would move tomorrow.  However, last minute, my brother called and said he would pick my mum up later.  At first, mum defrost the fish and got ready the cauliflower to be cooked for dinner.  The plan was changed.  She went to bathe and got all the things ready to move out.  Earlier on, my sister and brother-in-law came too.  

I woke up in the morning and mum had already prepared breakfast for Ricsson.  She prepared breakfast for me too -- a plate of fried rice with beautiful prawns on top.  I did not take the photo.  Her plate of fried rice, no additional ingredients.  We ate together at the dining table.  I regretted not taking photo.  Later in the afternoon, we ate a plate of glutinous rice together.  Again I never take any photograph.  That was our last meal, shared, and I never kept a copy of it.  Never know that was our last meal.  

Glutinous rice cooked by mum on Wednesday 13 April 2022

Mum never waste food.  She is a thrifty person.  There were some glutinous rice left over on Wednesday.  So for lunch we shared a plate of hot glutinous rice and she ate so little.  Taco joined in.  We ate happily, not knowing that mother is going to move out later.  

I am having headache now, after all the crying.  I saw mum wiping her tears when she left the house just now.  I too felt very sad that this day she is moving out.  I never felt this sad.  I missed her already even though we can still meet each other again at Yew Tee.  Whenever I thought of her, I feel very sad and my head ache.  I am old already, mum even older -- she will be celebrating 79 years old soon.  We were talking about celebrating her birthday this year.  Looking forward to celebrate her birthday.  

I feel so blessed to have mum around.  I am so blessed to have brothers and sister, and my own children.  I was writing about Be Baptized and not long after that, my mood was changed to sadness.   I hope mum can have a long and healthy life.  May God showered her with happiness and long healthy life.

Nghee Zhang

 

Nghee Zhang purchased from the market

Last week, 14 June 2021 was dumpling festival.  I managed to purchase a bunch of Nghee Zhang from the market at $5 as shown in the picture above.  Nghee Zhang is tasteless and it is nice to eat with sugar.  It is yellowish on the inside as shown in the picture below.  It just glutinous rice dipped with sugar.  It is nice.  

Nghee Zhang to be eaten with sugar

This year I had never eaten Bak Zhang.  Bak Zhang is so expensive now.  Each cost like averagely at least $6.  Then there is no guarantee that it is nice.  As I don't really like eating meat, I decided not to buy any Bak Zhang.  The children don't really like it either.  Then my mother never make any because father just died.  According to her, a few years cannot wrap dumpling.
