This is finally over. This takes up almost the whole of yesterday from morning til midnight, including the using the air pressure cooker to speed up the dumplings' cooking process. Cannot imagine i have the strength to wrap around 300 dumplings. This year as usual, we have Nonya dumplings, Meat dumplings and of course, vegetarian dumplings. My mum does all the ingredients really for me to start wrapping. It takes a lot of effort and she has been so busy whole morning. Then it's my turn, just like playing passing baton. My turn comes. The first few dumpling look alright but a pity, too small for a nonya dumpling. I have been given some pointers on how it should be like. Subsequently, I find myself mastered the skills. Perhaps, I have done this before except that I have forgotten. Poor memory! I have several breaks in between, mainly to rest my fingers and body. My back spines are aching again! I have to tolerate the pain and I don't wish to have this on the next day. I consider to rest and surf internet the following day. That's my motivation. Here's comes my dad. He is humorous towards the whole of my wrapping dumpling thingy. He talks a lot. I think I have drained off all the energy if not I can be in comparison to him. He helped in giving the dumpling some trimming to give it a better finishing look... hehe.....Night falls, I have wrapped all and can take a bath. After a proper clean up and washing done for the kitchen, it becomes our tv time. We watch tv and drink the lipton tea made by my mum. Then I have a flavour of each dumpling to taste. I especially love the nonya dumpling. My taste buds tell me. haha...
