shark fin gwa

Mom has been growing this "shark fin gwa" in a bucket outside my apartment. Even with only 4-5 inch of soil, the plant has been growing pretty well and even have flower buds all over. My mom has been wishing the flowers to bloom and eventually have "gwa" to eat. But the flower buds just get bigger and bigger and haven't opened up yet. A couple of flower buds, instead of opening up, at the base of it... have started to swell up, looking like a "gwa." But I kept telling my mom that it is not possible to have "gwa" without the flower in bloom first. And my mom kept saying, it has skipped flowering and gone right to the "gwa-ing" stage. So this morning, I used an analogy to explain that a woman won't get pregnant without having sex, which is why you don't have gwa without the flower. Then she replied, "of course you can! Mary was like that!" I was like... arrrgh...

Anyway, my allergy has been pretty bad this week. I think it's a combination of cold and allergy.

I really need to study for the PE exam which will be on Oct 26. I'll be taking a review class up in Schaumburg starting Sept 10. There are a lot of topics I don't know and not familiar with, like structural and transportation. I am a little worried now. I don't have all the reference books I need yet... you know, those codes and stuff. Anyway, I'll try my best and see what happen.

your mom's answer about Mary is correct. Have you read the latest Time magazine about Mother Teresa's faith?
PE exam? Good luck, and then you can be a professional engineer, right? i took that fundamental exam back in 1998 and to me, now, is not useful coz i am not going into a EE engineering field, or as a licensed engineer. it's a long exam (8 hours i guess for the fundamental - 2 sections).

I know... my mom is actually making sense. And you know what, I am started to believe that some of the buds have become gwa without flowering.

Maybe I did break out from rock. Who knows. My parents told me it was the case when I was little.

I thought most moms said "I wished I had given birth to a roast BBQ pork than having a bad kid!!!"

Just kidding.
