Love- Hate Relationship with water






Clover's "black face" when given water


Water-the essence of life,yet I hardly bring myself to drink plain water,given a choice,I pass it for juices,tea,coffee and my weakness,season ice lemon tea...It must be seasons,no other brand will do,that is how picky I am with my drink...haha...Sigh,all the diuretic drinks make me lose even more water straining my kidneys,that is certainly not a wise idea...Hence,home-brewed soup to the rescue,haha...Without seasoning,I enjoy slurping my soup,this soup contains all the natural goodness from organic raw peanuts,first time I ever try it,the leaves tasted like spinach,and with the sweetness from green papaya,I drank the whole lot without much urging...haha...

Like me,clover dislike plain water too,no matter how much I try to coax her,her lips will automatically pressed together when a drop pass her lips,no wonder my lao gong joked that like mother,like daughter,we both have a common dislike,haha....Suggestions from friends to add in ribena,delrosa syrup were to no avail,just as determined I am to made her drink,she is equally headstrong in resisting...haha...Screaming till her face turn red,pushing the bottle away,the naughty baby wins...Working around the problem,I now turn to home made juices,soup which she happily gulp down...Oops,not a good solution..What if she turns out to be like me?Better be a good role model and drink my plain water too...haha...In time to come,clover will also follow,monkey see,monkey do...haha...
