Going Vegetarian

Boo. Adeline came back to work this morning - She did not go on MC as planned as she had important stuff to settle. Well well well..can understand what's going because it always happens to me as well. Just as I am happily going on leave the next day, important stuff like interviews or candidates' offer stages, which can determine whether I cross the minimum target for the month, usually made me either cancel the leave altogether or just come back for half a day, usually in the morning.Boo. How sickening. Anyway, good to see the beady-eyed girl again - She can be my Prozac at times : )

Went for early lunch at 11:30am because Ellen Lee had to go to her client's place at 1:30pm. Boo again. Hate early lunches because time usually crawls after that. No doubt it's a mentality thing, but...argh. Just hate it. Walked briskly to China Square Foodcourt and boy, I did not know what to eat because I had no appetite. Just wanted some
thing light and decided on vegetarian food. Always thought that vegetarian food is inexpensive because it mainly consists of gluten and I was wrong; my lunch for today cost 6 bucks. $1.50 for a can of Pokka Green Tea and you've guessed it right: $4.50 for the damn thing! I felt like I had been electrocuted when the auntie said $4.50. Who is in the right mind to pay that kind of moolah for that! Anyway, that would be the first and the last time. Hello experience and byebye chance!


Tada! $4.50 worth of gluten, bee hoon and veggie

As an avid meat-lover, I cannot fathom why people go vegetarian. What is so interesting about gluten, greens and beans? I rather go for a juicy bloody steak anytime! Perhaps, some people go vegetarian due to religious purpose, this, I can comprehend. But other than that, no. I had an ex-classmate who was a vegetarian and at that point of time, we happened to organise an orientation exercise which meals were involved. Because he was a vegetarian, there were some inconvenience, but eventually it was resolved. Realised that it is not easy to go vegetarian in Singapore. Perhaps, our culture doesn't really include vegetarian. Don't believe? Just look around and you will know what I mean.

Gosh, the time now is 1:23am. Time to sleep...and repeat the whole vicious cycle...Damn. Waiting for Saturday to arrive.
