The girl with the US$1200 per month powder habit

Didn't your mother warn you to stay away? Any girl that goes through that much white powder in a month must be a bad influence! Her yearnings get so hard that she'll wake you in the night craving more.

Of course the powder in question is baby formula and the lady in question is Tong Suk, so profits of Wyeth and Co from Singapore (discount please) aside, we are happy to oblige with various tricks up our sleeves - we have introduced her to Poon Larb and Lynchee, which apart from being chaotic, has been interesting.

For the first few days Suk tried to suckle but Poon Larb would throw grass whenever the smallest ele got near, then Larb got better but Lynchee intervened with subtle naval interception maneuvres and by the time we got Lynchee distracted Suk wasn't too keen to keep trying.

So, for now, we have the gold standard baby formula that she has been living on for months (well, she was on white but we upped it) and I'm anxious not to change that too much as she has good digestion under it for now and tonnes of energy.

Though after her first day with Lynchee and the other girls and boys she got home and fairly collapsed from exhaustion from all that ele playing and no napping.
