sometimes, i feel that there are many things i do that i dont particularly like to do. perhaps most people will say that one has a choice in life. but upon serious pondering, i really doubt so. whether for pragmatic reasons or whatsover, find it so hard to believe that things can really be taking a toil on me. but there will be certain aspects of my life i wud nvr regret about, like the pple i chose to love, friends that i embrace, and most importantly, the close to immaculate family that i have. these are the things that get me going. n till the day i have the power to decide totally on what kind of life i wanna lead... i wud be god. so its definitely not gonna happen! but i wish it cud.

anyways, im glad singapore s govt or hpb or both is doing something about hawker food! from the papers, majority of the people eat at hawker centres six times a week. dont wanna think about the effects of consuming lard six times a week. assumption: many hawker food contains lard. trust me on that. ate wanton mee once at bedok, innocently thinking that it was relatively healthy. to my horror, i was mortified to find lard HIDDEN at the bottom of the noodles AFTER i finished eating almost everything. yeh whatever. scold me for not stirring my noodles.

really detest hawker food. i see no quality in consuming msg, lard. lard=pig fat. many pple are so afraid of putting on weight and accumulating fats can be majorly responsible for it. so..imagine eating fats. very ironic and contradictory. well...i have my own say on hawker food. to each he/her own. but i cant deny the fact that taste plays a HUGE factor on the kinda food a normal human eat. but the awareness/ full knowledge of the possibility that harmful ingredients are used to prepare tasty food? i opt for none.

still think there will be a LONG way more before sph or the govt can get what they want. but looking at the food in my sch s canteen, situation is dimal. small portions. unappealing. looks oily. heh. but then... im sure that there are those hawkers standing firm on their grounds and providing the best for their customers. if u happen to be around serangoon garden's hawker centre, do try out the bread store. that will be what i call quality. ate like six of the bread today! my gosh. and im not done with it. ha. ]
