11 Years 4 Months

My dear Qinzhi

I hear you sing and it is too precious. I texted daddy. Ah mei ayi, gengyan jiujiu, and said to them this: “Qinzhi’s singing is so precious ! I m so thankful we can bring her here from where she was! And it’s because of you all ”

It seems that you have really grown up.

And what is this supposed to mean?

Because Huaihao succumbed to high fever, Qinzhi decided to sleep on your own in your bed in your pinky room, although it was subtle, I felt a greater gap which came about to signify your faster than ever growing up as an individual. As we stop sleeping on the same bed, I begin to think of the times, I had to wake up almost every night to pick up the bolster you kicked off the bed, I recalled the times I had to wake up when your legs slanted and came over to my side

On on hindsight, it was Qinzhi’s way of telling me she wanted me badly——even in sleep. Even in sleep she wanted me very badly. I thought of the times I had to wake up to cover her in blanket each time she kicked them off.

And I woke up in the middle of the night to now open the door of her room, to check on her.

And this is exactly how every parent feels I guess, not daring to let go.

Anyway, in the holidays we had, Mommy made lots for Qinzhi and Huaihao . A friend sent us a past and pizza package, to make it fun, Mommy made lots you two could on to draw to decide who does the pizza and who makes the pasta, but in the end, both got to work on both pizzas and pastas! So, Yay!

Qinzhi is now a young lady, of her own already. And I could subtly feel how our communication has evolved. These nights I popped over to see her more, now that she is in her own room. The time when I did raindrop on Qinzhi was extremely precious, we chat about school, work, teachers, rainbow forest, everything. And when Qinzhi is in the dome, and whenever I asked questions, Qinzhi would use her toes to answer me, and we would both break out in laughter! So happy!

And I couldn’t be more thankful. And I expressed my appreciation for John who showed us the way to healing Qinzhi, and I couldn’t be more happy and grateful, that I had the opportunity and the privilege to quit to be with Qinzhi.

And because Mommy bought Ziyi and popo organic vegetables, Davina brought you some honey jelly ——–that’s the energy exchange inherent and essential to life. there is always an equal and opposite reaction, an echo to your actions.

Then we baked cookies n made more ice cream !

And Yiyi and popo bought Qinzhi’s favourite ——the ang ku kueh

And dumplings home made!

Yiyi and popo missed Qinzhi, whenever they called, Qinzhi would exclaim in joy, yi! po! I want to go to Pasir ris ! I miss your curry, I want to eat curry!

And that was what yiyi cooked, she cooked curry for qinzhi and lor bak with lots of quail eggs for hao. She prepared all the frozen mince meat , fish and scallops and got ah hao gorgor to send it all over. There’s even bao for huaihao in the red bean flavour he likes.

And at home, mommy cooked lots too, mommy did vegan pulled pork burger using the oyster mushroom, and did a vegan mayo, paired it with a keto ciabatta, vegan cheese and truffle chips!

I panfried tempeh and made a satay dip. I roasted veg of all colours, hoping to find something you and huaihao would like.

And you and Huaihao continued to build amazing houses, train houses etc with peculiar functions and stories.

Then you exercised on zoom with Gengyan and Karyn

In June, you would go to school in weeks 1 and 3, while HuaiHao goes to school on weeks 2 and 4, and it gives me lots of good time with you even if you are busy on zoom.

And you would enjoy so much the time at home, because “Mommy can babysit me” and because it was pretty relaxing, I slept while you zoom-ed, and you remarked that you were babysitting me.

That was so adult a statement to make, and it made me feel like I am indeed growing old and could do with some pampering from you, determined to soak up all the goodness you would shower upon me.

My dear, May you be well and happy! SO in love with you!
