Soccer
Well, can simply understand yr frustration. Hb set alarm to wake up at midnight to watch the England match in the room.. actually he wanted to watch in living room but I guess my boy's bonding with his dad is too deep, everytime he open the door, he start kicking me liao.. happen so many times already.. no need to do survey!

dsiitan,
My mum too old to help me doing the confinement so my MIL will be the one who do for me since she is going to move in and stay with us permanently next month.
My MIL has converted to vegetarian eater liao.. I have to source for confinement recipe for her since she can't taste the food she cook for me..
I can share the Papaya Soup Recipe here:
PAPAYA SOUP
1 white fish tail or fish bones or fish meat ~ about 1kg
100g raw peanuts
1 raw or half-ripe papaya, about 1kg - cut into cubes/wedges
1 piece tangerine peel
4 slices old ginger
1.5litres boiling water
2 Tablespoons oil
Heat oil & fry ginger slices, then fry fish in oil until brown.
Then put all ingredients into the slow cooker and simmer for about 2 to 3 hrs - generally until the soup smells really fragrant.

Joline, thanks for yr recipe! BTW, I heard it is better to take "green" papaya, those not ripen ones, coz they have more sap which is beneficial for milk supply.

dsiitan,
yeah yeah.. this soup is good for increasing milk supply.. u're rite, tangerine peel is Cheng Pi.. haven't tried the protion.. dunno whether can last for whole day or not.. but i think if the portion is big then we take more lor.. if not we can still survive with the red dates tea, hee.. I read from a book written by Mrs wong (forgot which book) that this soup need to drink for 3 days consecutively then can see the effect.. that's why the menu I plan include this soup for 3 days lor..
I know it is not easy to live with PIL under one roof.. but so far from my observation my PIL quite Cin Cai one.. almost every weekend they come over and stay 1~2 days with us.. they are quite open one so whenever we have disagreement we will just voice out nicely and listen to each other..
paranoidmummy,
Yeah.. I heard the same advice from my friend oso.. but she told me those papaya soup that TMC provide is the ripe one (red color) leh.. I will ask my MIL to get those 'green' one if possible..
dsiitan,
me too haven't bot the herbs for shower leh.. heard that fu hua is selling $1/pkt.. it's called da feng cao/da feng ai or something like that.. any mummy can advise?
