[[My Diet Program]]

It's 21/09/2009 and the first day of my diet regime.

But I'm doing it only because I know I need to lose weight, and not because I enjoy losing weight. I need to lose weight because if I don't, I am faced with the prospect of contracting the many illnesses linked to obesity. On the other hand, I do not enjoy losing weight because it means I have to pass up on my favourite food.

Which is why life can be so screwed up sometimes. Like why must all the tasty food be bad for health, and why must all the healthy food be bland and shitty?

See, there aren't many things an average Singaporean like me can afford to enjoy. One of the things that I can afford to enjoy is good food, and I consider it a great way to de-stress after a hard day's work. Besides, I'm not the kind that likes to go out to party. I'd very much prefer to take life slow, chill out with some friends, or rent a couple of DVDs to watch along with some good food. So why must this one enjoyment come attached with so many complications and problems?

It irritates me when there's something nice that I know I really should have for dinner, but can't have because of its high calories, or high fat content. Sometimes I wish I could escape into an alternate reality where things like calories and cholestrol didn't exist.

Well, maybe that's why they call reality a bitch.

[[The Cooking Spree Continues]]

Received my exam results today, and am rather happy with it. A couple of As, B+s and Bs. Not too bad I guess.

So I celebrated by... whipping up fried rice, honey glazed chicken and corn soup for dinner for the fourth time this month. Told ya I was on a cooking spree!

[[More Foooood]]

Here's another two dishes for the receipe book. Whipped up some fruit and prawn salad as well as minced meat cabbage wrap for dinner today, and they were great! The fruit salad sounded simple enough, but I won't be the last person to say that "cubing" the mangoes and honeydew was a hell lot of work. Well whatever. I'm on a cooking spree, baby!

[[Pork And Apple Chops]]

Okay so since it's the holidays, I've been doing some cooking at home. Here's some photos of the pork and apple chops (as inspired by the Restaurant City application on FB, hahahahaha) that I prepared in my first attempts at being a chef. The smell/taste of the combination of apple sauce and cinnamon was fantastic so I'll definitely be making this more often in future. :p

Besides that, I also made some fried rice with sausages and pork floss as you will see from the pictures below. But... I still prefer the apple chops! Yummy!

[[Letters To A Hypocrite]]

Several times, I have been told, "Come back. Let bygones be bygones. Just forgive and forget."

But does an obstinate man who refuse to correct his erroneous ways really deserve our pity? Does a judge refrain from passing a sentence on a repeat offender out of pity for his old age in the courts of law?

What's the point of acting like an angel on Sundays, and then behaving like the devil in the office? Does good behaviour on Sundays make one less accountable for their poor behaviour on other days?

I don't care if a person has a fanciful title such as pastor, because a fanciful title does not equate to a great personality. I also don't care if a person has an attractive status such as millionaire. Please note that throwing filthy money around will not buy one the world, because there are people like me who are not in need of it, and who wouldn't sacrifice his principles and dignity in exchange for it either.

You see, I consider someone who have his employees and his office building's security guard work till 9 or 10pm on most days selfish and inconsiderate. Do his employees and the security guard not have families to attend to? So much for his so-called christian testimony. I guess the christian testimony he used to talk about was only applicable to others, not himself.

I also do not think highly of someone who criticises ex-members for leaving his congregation to join another, and yet welcomes members of other congregations with open arms. If it's wrong for ex-members to leave his congregation in the absence of a higher calling, how would it be right for members of other churches to leave their congregations for his under similar circumstances?

Last but not least, I must admit I have little respect for someone who blames the whole world but himself whenever something goes wrong. To me, he is like a spoilt child in a room full of toys, complaining to his mother how he hadn't received anything new from her all week. And if anything, I think things go wrong solely because of his incompetence.

You know, maybe it's time for those who have a backbone to stand up for what's right and be counted.
