She called me to tell me that she got me a flask for the hot drinks for <em>choo.</em> When I saw the prehistorical made in China Chng Kiang brand big rose flask, I nearly foamed at my mouth. I mean there is at least one shop that still sells this? I thought they already banned such thermos from the medieval times?

Well, this time it seems that I have no choice but to stay at home when the dish is cooked. The earthen(or clay) pot for this dish is quite humongous also. The Philips juicer pales in comparison in terms of size. <em>tan mum </em>has to T-loan this pot from a neighbour in her 70s who swears by this pot. The pig trotters apparently have to be braised in it for quite a long while before you can eat it. <em>Choo</em> doesn't like it but have to finish the up the entire bowl of post-natal goodness everytime it was served at the table. <em>bw </em>likes it quite a lot and has been invited to savour the dish together with <em>choo.</em> </span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkSdo26hwmipiollq0dVvcP0wIOuoTa-tXcbGjITqeNM3a8gBTTRiOk1rTrMk0rYIJFZ5IUa1YoDAA9Ms9TkKEjf3Zy_A9JdJA0fNi1JTmSdXsLFMyS_RJzavPuY4u85KXwWDIqlI_NLQu/s1600-h/Picture+191.jpg"><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5115756255131664146" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="203" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkSdo26hwmipiollq0dVvcP0wIOuoTa-tXcbGjITqeNM3a8gBTTRiOk1rTrMk0rYIJFZ5IUa1YoDAA9Ms9TkKEjf3Zy_A9JdJA0fNi1JTmSdXsLFMyS_RJzavPuY4u85KXwWDIqlI_NLQu/s320/Picture+191.jpg" width="293" border="0" /></span></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNsif1mHO35TXR0MPhvQp_Vh6rBFwcKyAkT8qLySRqWbXY234LSOTznwCWZg-OHmXEO2gNQEl8-LWSD0eCIuuNn44mgX-y62GiDuQDCJ1Me5MXY95nwwO0M26apjukJciSL9l3uyCGVX9H/s1600-h/Picture+204.jpg"><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5115795674341507026" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 296px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 203px" height="209" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNsif1mHO35TXR0MPhvQp_Vh6rBFwcKyAkT8qLySRqWbXY234LSOTznwCWZg-OHmXEO2gNQEl8-LWSD0eCIuuNn44mgX-y62GiDuQDCJ1Me5MXY95nwwO0M26apjukJciSL9l3uyCGVX9H/s320/Picture+204.jpg" width="302" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong><u></u></strong><br /><br /><br /></span><br /><strong><u></u></strong><br /><strong><u><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"></span></u></strong><br /><br /><strong><u><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"></span></u></strong><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><strong><u>Sterilizing pots</u></strong><br /><br />Initially, based on the list of things to buy, we needed to get a steamer for <em>littlejerard's </em>bottles. But to me, to spend about 200 bucks on a steamer is ridiculous and that started our quest to source for a more practical germ eliminator machine. I've always remembered that our old tenant used this metal pot that has a flat lid. You know the kind used for Muthu curry. So we managed to get 1 without realizing that it was made of 100% Aluminium. Bad Choice. After just one use, part of the inside of the pot actually oxidized and turned dull in colour. We were not sure if there was any Al contamination for <em>littlejerard's </em>bottles and teats. But thank God we realized this early, else <em>littlejerard </em>might be drinking Al-laced milk.

In fact, I actually forgot to sanitize my hands and only realized much later after the operation when I was putting my clothes back on that there was a sink right at the entrance of the gowning room.<br /><br />After gowning, I was led into the theatre to witness the birth. Though armed with my camera and words of encouragement for my wife, I admit I was a little dumbfounded when I saw our gynae cutting and snipping away before yanking <em>littlejerard </em>out with little success. With barely much eye contact, he allied with the anaestatist, one from each direction to wring out the little fellow. After much tugging, <em>littlejerard</em> managed to emerge from his mother's womb unscathed. I thought they must have elongated another 2cm out of him in the process. </span></div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI56MaXq2mdsCxbqYlhHVYk-VmEliUGnnNRThK7EZ66yXGhkPMlGlKZWJMLKZBa8uhyMqV4crkh0Dz2y9-LcdN1pDFpsZ8MGzBLu61iIoujHuSNLDTciKTuNafuXCBm2FXc4ZxJAiOoNtt/s1600-h/remnants+084.jpg"><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5113813211926953058" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI56MaXq2mdsCxbqYlhHVYk-VmEliUGnnNRThK7EZ66yXGhkPMlGlKZWJMLKZBa8uhyMqV4crkh0Dz2y9-LcdN1pDFpsZ8MGzBLu61iIoujHuSNLDTciKTuNafuXCBm2FXc4ZxJAiOoNtt/s320/remnants+084.jpg" border="0" /></span></a></div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"></span></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSbcrjzu99HkLSwuxsc4_crCKM14WgnC8JAaFxSkMtQpgVOKY2q2JDhT-_4sitgGxUm35F-tWegkWbzHDd20ankVPYzOr5V8hfSvu25iR57ErUv03l7RV0Yc2AJWlDVtk2ECWLRh-prwo2/s1600-h/remnants+071.jpg"><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5113811403745721394" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSbcrjzu99HkLSwuxsc4_crCKM14WgnC8JAaFxSkMtQpgVOKY2q2JDhT-_4sitgGxUm35F-tWegkWbzHDd20ankVPYzOr5V8hfSvu25iR57ErUv03l7RV0Yc2AJWlDVtk2ECWLRh-prwo2/s320/remnants+071.jpg" border="0" /></span></a></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;"></span></span></div><div><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;">After his lung functions started kicking in, due to the long time stuck, <em>littlejerard </em>inevitably took in some of his poo poo and had to be pumped out through tubes inserted into his nose(ouch!) and his mouth.
