Food Taboo

Was watching this program "Taboo" on Arts Central earlier on and i mus say i'm completely grossed out by the real facts and events that are happening in the world now...

It started with an italian man's relentless search for cheese for his house party. Ain't no ordinary cheese of course.. it's WORM CHEESE...!!! *feeling faint* In the process of making cheese from goat's milk, e cheese would crack.. n if it so happens a housefly gets into the crack and lay eggs in them, e maggots would feed on the rich protein that's surrounding them. As they eat and excrete within the cheese, it becomes slimy n creamy. Tat according to some italians, is rare delicacy...

So this bunch of italians were scoping up clumps n clumps of maggots infested cheese and pairs them with crackers and bread. While they have fun with their exotic cheese, i was gagging right in front of the TV.. oh look wat culture can do to us...

Before i can even recover, the second segment was about guinea pigs. In US, more than 2.7 million of guinea pigs were house pets. Seen as a loving pet, lovely companion, even part of the family.. this rodent, in Peru, is being roasted to perfection and served on the table of every special ocassion. ARGH!!! The entire process of housing them, killing them, skinning and roasting them... i dont have to go on abt my digust...

It suddenly became so apparent to me there is always something ahead the road awaiting for each n every one in life..

While i've been really busy juggling my freelance work and studies, n still catching up with my friends family and loved ones.. Gosh i feel a little insignificance to this world. There's so much to do and so much to see, so much awaiting for me to discover and look into. I've been planning my next backpacking trip to UK, partly to meet my dearie june.. partly i guess its time for me to crawl outta my life and begin afresh. My first step is to improve my overall wellbeing. I'm gonna hit the gym once again...

I'm not sure what stopped me from my training earlier on.. I was jogging religiously 3-4 times a week and goes ECP every saturday. Not sure what changed my active life. Somehow the lazy bug bit me in the butt and then i found myself wasting my weekends away... Its time to get rid of this pest n Get Alive! *spray spray.. bug mus die!!*

Being away from books for so many years.. I'd say since my first yr in TP. Ever since my days in lasalle, muggin was like so uncool. *Haha...* There jus ain't that much of reading and tutorials to do. Everything was very hands on.. every assessment was a madness of rushing to print and present ur work flawlessly.. blah blah blah.. The only books i've been in touched with were arty farty Design books, expensive magazines completely filled with psychedelic prints.. computer arts and IDN were my best friends. Tat was all..

Now i feel i'm made to give my slowed down, relaxed brain a hard squeeze in my hands! Apart from the overwhelming amt of readings, i mus admit growing older jus makes it a little harder to understand the words tat seems to run all over the page.. Or is it things r jus getting harder??

Whatever it is.. the first week is kinda like a culture shock for me n i'm still recovering from it. The physical changes are i've been pretty edgy and screaming alot more.. *hmmm...* (n if u've noticed more chatty!)

Alright tat's all folks.. i'm gonna load up on pics from our steadboat gathering really soon.

The first BA meeting was great. I met very inspiring people.. people from all walks of life. I'm sure the next 15 months will be great. :)

For now, the amount of readings to do is killing me. I Jus 2 modules this sem. Yet to prepare for the first seminar, if i dont faithfully do 1 reading a day, i'd be behind time. N 1 single reading is abt 30 pages of theories... So i figured i gotta wake up early everyday to do my readings n jot my own notes else i'm gonna fall backwards! How scary can uni be?

Women i meet these days simply amaze me. There are ladies in their 50s, pursueing their 3rd degree or already holding Masters n they're still thirsty for knowledge! Then there are office executives who are married with kids.. SUPERWOMEN!!!!

On the contrary the men i've been meeting are falling way back below standard. No its nt that my standards are high.. I'm serious! Or jus blame it on my bad luck i've been meeting all the wrong guys.. *sianzzz*

N now? ITs back to mugging n mugging!!

Good. Very Good.

I haven lost my temper to the extence of raising my voice for a long time. He who ingites me, good for you. You did it.

I'm darn sick n tired of being caged up by my own life. 1 wrong decision comes with a whole bagful of load. Life is not fair and never will be. I can only blame my wrong choice and u can only blame ur bad luck to mess with the wrong girl.

Fucked up attitude? Maybe. But i'm not saying sorry for i dont think i'm in the wrong and saying sorry when i dont mean it jus ain't my style.

My day was great until u messed it up n i'm darn upset. Maybe u're right. I'm in control of the game at this point of time. But u chose to enter into my life by choice nt by force. Im not afraid to call it game over. In fact it'll save u n me time and energy. I guess things are pretty apparent its nt working out. Let the end come to us...
