becoming a nanny + god-ma
Job description:
1. feed zai-zai when his mum has not enough breast milk
2. change diaper for zai-zai when he's uncomfortable
3. give zai-zai ang-bao at chinese new year
4. be present at zai-zai's future birthday parties
...
...
...

and many more...the list goes on. i had unconsciously agreed to the above job descriptions when i became bridesmaid at my bestfriend's wedding 2 years ago. accepting the big ang-bao from the wedded couple then meant that i have silently agreed to become zai-zai's maid and god-ma today! the terms came with the silent agreement?! :)

time flies. i remembered how my best friend broke the good news to me in the car months ago. i visited her yesterday at the hospital. could feel the warmth of a happy family. the air is filled with happiness and joy at the arrival of the little one. zai-zai hasn't got a name yet. he's got the mummy's eyes, ears and lips. most of all, he's got a pair of adorable dimples.

pretty soon, i, nanny of zai-zai, would have to assume the above duties :) and soon, zai-zai will grow up too. once i told joyce: if one day, zai-zai comes to us and say: "aunty gracie and joyce, im getting married next month. please be present at my wedding." oh!! that means we have grown old!!
