Gek Teng's first day out

Gek Teng has been rather obedient in listening to her family and in-laws as she has not been bathing for 12 days and had been eating ginger food. Today marks the day she is free..She has not left home for 12 days so far and has been eating and drinking ginger stuff. How sad. She has been complaining to me past few days about her hair being oily and all cos she is not allowed to bathe or touch water.

I was wondering if I were her, I would not care so much and just go ahead and do what I like. Hehe...rebellion!

Anyway, at 1030am, she walked over in her jeans, and with a cardigan cos she still scared cold...though the weather was sunny..and hot in a way. Haha..she looked strange.

We watched TV together as usual and talked. I let her try the Indian crackers and at once, she requested water. Yup..it is hot!

She left at about 12 noon as Kok Fong would be coming back to have lunch with her. He is going back work at 4pm till 12 midnight..so he can leave in afternoon. CT and his colleagues all having some kind of shift work which confuses me and Gek Teng as we do not know when they are on shift..so it is diff to remember when they need us to prepare their dinner or lunch.

I cooked ginseng chicken soup tonight and passed some for Gek Teng's dinner as she would be all alone and she would be eating spaghetti only. I cleaned a bit of the house in preparation for tomorrow's party and arranged furniture to create more space in the living room.

In the afternoon, I was ordering the birthday cake by calling up the shop which Tracy (church friend) recommended. I ordered a small one since there is green bean soup tomorrow night as well. I am quite prepared that the cake will turn out very creamy and sweet as suited to American taste.

Went to collect mail today with Gek Teng and she changed out of her jeans back to shorts and t-shirt cos she felt silly as well, wearing jeans and long sleeve. Haha..
