The library book I borrowed.

I would like to bore the hell out of you telling the story of our holiday in Singapore, but wait..

These 2 days, I did something which I had not done for N years. Reading a novel! Can I imagine that?

I thought this time taktau how many days need to complete the book, but ding! ding! ding!, surprisingly, I finished the book in less than 24 hours, sleeping time, mealtimes, washing time, bathing time, tuition time, cooking time, all included. Chehwah! I'm so proud of myself.

Then again, I think this book is pretty cool, it has such interesting plots which weaved together at the end. I was so excited to geto to know the ending of the story. The most captivating part of the book is that it really encompass the feelings of a mother, how much is considered enough to care for her child.

Apart from that, I watched a DVD with hub last nite. It was called "Dim Sum Funeral", kinda expected ending since the beginning, but nonetheless, held my attention till the end, even though I was rather sleepy and tired. I always judged a movie watchable or not by this criteria only. So, go watch it! tee hee!

Meanwhile, it's a Saturday, and I have nowhere to go with the family. How pathetic is that! I am thinking of a hiking trail in the evening, but wonder if it will pour later, as it always does these days.

And you know what? I am still on a vegetarian diet. Oh, you don't know about that, hoh? I only put that remark on FB and those people (frens, kononnya) look down upon me and says I won't last till 3 days the max. In fact, it's over 7 days now! Maybe, or sometimes, it's the challenge that drives you at times. The you-don't-think-I-will-make-it?-I-will-show-you-I-will, kinda thing.

But seriously, it's not that which drives me. At first, it was some sort like a protest, you know, like Mahatma Gandhi, but I can't do fasting, I have gastric problems, so I decided to cut out meat only.

After some soul-searching and self-analysis, I decided not to blame anyone for their behavior and embrace the blame on myself, as action causes reaction, no? Thus, the meat avoidance is to remind myself how incompetent I am and I should improve!

It's hard, really hard. When I was making the meals for the kids, deboning the chicken thigh, I almost wanted to sink my teeth into that juicy delicious part I crave for. It was really like calling me to eat it! And also last night when I was deboning the small fried fishes for them. I was really salivating! How I wanted to taste the crunchy and tasty part of those sides! But I didn't succumb to the temptation! I was so proud of myself! Jeez! I shouldn't be cooking so nice food for them anymore, should I? Then again, it would be contradicting the purpose of this idea. And so I persist.

Quite amazingly, I am now more aware of the different food to eat, to replace the protein my body is in need of. It's so far working, but it's pissing the hell out of my hub, as he can't agree with the rationale behind my motive. But the no-meat just keeps me reminding me, I shall be a better person, I shall be....Wonder where this will lead to.. and how long it lasts. I have no idea too.
