STONE PENDANT

Sent my "work-in-progress" to family members to peruse-- some of you girls got it too!
It's only 6 chapters of something big i hope to do in the future....

Here's what my uncle said:

Aiyoh Michelle, now our appetite is whet, you cannot delay the satiation - not much longer anyway! It should be good; perhaps you'll have a blockbuster coming in your future.

Talking of Chinese tradition of handing down alchemy secrets, your auntie Janette and I were at the Chinese sinseh on Saturday. We were waiting our turn when an old lady came in. She asked to buy some common herbs. We got to chit chat and she said she was 80 years old. She had the most silky smooth skin I've ever seen - wah so fair!

Anyway, long story short - she had some family alchemy secrets passed down to her. Also, we learned from her that the "gei chi" we use in Chinese soup (red bead like ingredient) comes from the "kow kee" vegetable plant. This vegetable you can buy at Shop & Save or NTUC.
We didn't ask her about the stone pendant.

Cheers! Love,
Uncle Richard.
