[weiling99]

my colleague just told me to cook mee suan with 2 hard boil eggs + a drumstick (similiar to how chinese adults celebrate their lunar birthday)



she also told me that for hokkiens, they will custom made 2 huge Ang Ku Kueh for the baby to step on... then parents are to eat them to signify that the baby will listen to them.

 

[cheekrene]

[weiling99]

Really ah, then I mus do that ang ku kueh so that my boy will listen to me.

I'm thinking of cooking mee sua too. Hope my MIL can cook the traditional teochew sweet mee sua leh. Hmm... mine will be on weekday, don think she will cook and bring for me.

[ahnah69]

[ahnah69]

[ahnah69]

weiling,



drumstick is for "open mouth" i guess.

[justnew]

bb needs to bite the drumstick then consider ?

 

[jerainejerrell]

[weiling99]

Ah bee, if want July baby then must conceive in October. Cos no 1 I conceived in early nov n EDD was early August.



School wise no need to worry, cos if there's a sibling in the school then it's a guarantee spot for your #2,3,4,5... hahaha



MVH, thanks... U are right with the helper. Luckily got her around. Otherwise I cannot continue working and earn $$$. But with helper, my girl learnt lots of funny things... Now I'm praying hard that the day she starts talking, it's proper English and not philippino style...
