Spit with love..
I blogged about my mil sending me loads of bird’s nest my way much earlier. I haven’t even touched them yet till today because seriously, ever since I was a kid.. I never like the bird’s spit.
I know. I know. It’s sweet, tasteless, and damn good for complexion/skin whatever.. but I would never opt to take it and I used to run far far away when my mum forces me to drink as a kid. And when she succeeds in her deed.. The spit usually ends up in the toilet bowl moments later because I would vomit everything out. I think it’s psychological because I used to see my mum prepare the bird nest (and even help her with it), picking out the bird’s feathers (i remember the black bits!) and washing it clean.. So it was something that I never can quite accept. The other thing that has this effect on me is chicken’s essence so please.. Do not ever ever give that to me under ANY circumstances.
So.. I feel bad because I haven’t been taking the spit and my mil has been asking how it is. I wouldn’t have an answer because there isn’t a benchmark for me to compare in order to reply her but still leaving the bird’s best there and not drinking is a big waste. Besides, I didn’t really dare to take them because I’m still puking on random days.. Like yesterday morning after I brushed my teeth and today during lunch (but I managed to keep it down eventually).
So I told my mum that i think i would attempt to drink it and she says I should take the bird’s nest on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning..just like that! I went.. Huh?! Shouldn’t it at least be chilled so it’s nicer/easier to drink and she went.. No no. It’s fine. Besides, you are not allowed any cold drinks!
And yes, I stopped drinking cold water at home because my mum doesn’t let me and my husband is not allowed to give me cold drinks as well so the only time I drink cold stuff is when I’m out/working. Hee!
Nonetheless, this morning when I woke.. My mum said she has left a bottle a bird’s nest in the fridge(!!!!!) and reminded me to drink it before I leave for work! How sweet! She actually let me drink it cold when I told her that I think it’s damn gross to drink it as it is.. I was rushing for time so I grabbed the bottle on my way out..
Much loved!! Sure made my day and my morning a pleasant one! hee!
Still I cringed when I finally down the spit.. And almost wanted to give up after half a bottle.. It’s just so not me!
Many more bottles to go. Wish me luck!
It’s silly, I know. The bird’s spit is such heavenly goodness right?! I should know better, but err.. Give me plain water anytime!

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.

Not too good to take too much of the bottled ones cos they are too sweet.
Might cause phelgm.. Best is to take the home cooked ones ( err the feather plucking sort) with less or no sugar..

Yeah, I know! But I’m just trying to finish these because my mil gave them to me. Given a choice, I rather have plain water! Anyway, my mum knows I hate bird’s spit.. Haha.
