Today is one of those “bad days”. For the past two years – the menstral cramps – has been my best friend. First, this friend came every month, punctually, without fail. Then, finding it quite at home with this silly woman, she comes every three weeks. Making herself host, now she comes as she likes it, at times she stays for a consecutive of 30 days.
Every time she comes, she makes herself at home, whether you like it or not.
Every times she comes, I cry. And it is always a “crisis of faith” for me.
There are not many times that I take this mum’s secret recipe. Why? Because it’s the perception that only when mum makes it that it is effective. I tried making once for Rachel, and it also works.
Today, I have to make it myself because my best friend is very destructive. She upsets me so much that I cried – Where is God when it hurts?
This mum’s secret recipe is really not a secret, I guess. Many of my foochow friends know about it. You can even order it in restaurants here cooking foochow food. It’s just ginger, egg and home-made rice wine (red). It’s gentle to the stomach, and usually cramps gone, and you will have a good sleep.
Yes, I do need a good sleep for I shall be on a three-day business trip tomorrow….
