Red Bean Soup n Mochi (5 minute version)

Script

The baby is 6 months along now.  Time is passing quickly!


Baby has started to kick.  I can feel it about 7-8 times per hour.  It is like a big goldfish swimming inside your tummy, or some popcorn popping suddenly.  The feeling is hard to describe as my mother-in-law said: It is special and unique. 


Mom's very pleased to see my tummy getting rounder and bigger everyday, she just can't help smiling.  She cares about the baby a lot, and is often concerned if we've prepared enough clothing for the baby.  It makes me feel so touched!  My Mom and mother-in-law both love me so much!


It was Lantern Festival last week.  Mom and I spent the whole day in the kitchen to prepare the special dinner for the family.  Mom taught me 7 Chinese dishes at a time.  She said I have to cook for the family once I become a mother.  I'd love to try, but I know Mom's cooking is always the best.


Everyone got a day off after the festival, so we decided to join the OCC team to paddle to Cheung Chau from Lamma.  The weather was awesome, it wasn't hot like crazy anymore.  Instead, there was breeze all the time.  But the water was very rough off the shore, I thought the boat would got knocked over a few times.  An hour or so later, we arrived in Cheung Chau with 8.8km.  I was proud I did it and rewarded myself with a delicious cheese burger at the beach.


My mother-in-law said I can do whatever I'm doing now because that makes me look healthy and beautiful.


I have chances to achieve what I like.  I am definitely a lucky girl.  Meanwhile, I'm learning to help those people who need the chance, so that everyone can fairly enjoy the world together.

(The second when we arrived Cheung Chau)
