Alone,vegetarian and his perceptions

Been away for quite awhile cos my AS is up.Had maths on Monday.Quite confident of scoring a hundred.Thinking skills is up next week.Will get myself ready by Monday.

In between this short holiday of mine (that's what I call it,since it's too long),I was back in Ipoh once again as I was left alone in this country by my beloved family.Mum and Dad were in New York and Dubai,while bro is still in Bharat(India).
didn't do much,was just sitting around,playing the fool,CM4,futsal and stuff like that.

Got back on Thursday, went vegetarian for nine days straight for Naurata (Navarthri in Hindi). Felt a little proud as was the only guy in the hostel observing it. Was glad managed to endure the nine days,without meat,though I regret not being able to contain myself from chicken last Saturday.My fault, I know...

Flashback
That lady in Yuyi..was smiling at me as she hadn't seen me for quite a while,perhaps she wanted business, the place looked empty =)
Btw,this guys at Yuyi do something quite unhygienic,and that is mixing up the ladles and spoons between dishes.
And so, I was served some kangkung,with a ladle previously serving chicken to some carnivorous being...I had that strand of kangkung,with a perfectly-diced chicken( roasted, I assume). Since my stomach was still growling due to the vitamin-laden vegetables which didn't carry much protein in them had just fuelled my hunger, I decided...Hey,let's get some pau.

Kaya pau it was..cost me one buck..and as my teeth were about to munch into the tender bread, kaya pau has egg in it la!!!! Haiyo....so what did I do?

A. Give it to my mate..who's been eyeing at the pau ever since I bought it

B. Return it to the guy who sold it to me and get some unwanted stares

C. Just eat it (what the heck, you just had chicken!!)




Yup, I just swallowed it, and explained to myself that it was never there.........(~sigh)

Speaking about vegetarianism, had this interesting conversation with my uncle.
He too was veg,but he had different principles.
He put it in a simple way, YOU CHOOSE WHAT YOU WANNA EAT.

For instance, being vegetarian simply means that you eat anything but meat,right?
So, he takes chicken curry and not the chicken.
Eggs and fish are fine by him as his reading thought him that seafood doesn't qualify as meat.

Get the idea?

Will keep you updated as and when I'm free...chao
