Yeah,that's me during the spicy ramen challengea few weeks back. |
It's been quite a long time since my last post as my health has not been good plus I am quite busy studying for my finals which is in 4 weeks.But it is World Food Day today and I got to spare some time for to write this as blogging is one of my ways to improve my writing skills as I prepare myself for MUET next year.So,here's one post dedicated to all.
Food is a basic need of life which sometimes people take for granted. Being in Malaysia which is akin to food paradise,we are just spoilt for choice at times.Due to the easy access to obtain food,people tend to waste it.
Ask yourself,when was the last time you finished every bit of food on your plate?If your answer is yes,hats off to you but if your answer is no,try thinking of the people out there who can't even afford a meal each day compared to some of us who can have breakfast, brunch, lunch, tea , dinner,supper,etc.. in just a single day.You can never go foodless as you can find food everywhere.Hungry?Just go to the nearest mamak and there you have some roti canai, nasi kandar,nasi lemak or you just go to Starbucks for a cup of coffee which almost equals to my allowance on food for a week.

One of my first outdoor cooking experiences during my school's camping day last year.Most of the 'cokodok' were oddly shaped and this particular one was in the shape of a heart. |
There had been numerous views on the soup kitchens out there but personally,I feel that this noble effort can continue. When a beggar asks you money so that he can eat,try buying him a meal instead of giving him money as you will not only fill his empty stomach but you will also add on your blessings.My dad once told me that if someone approaches me and asks for food,never ever turn down their request at it maybe be a reincarnation of someone who was close to us and had died coming to meet us again.It may sound illogical but I still hold on to it.
Now,that I'm in college,I do try to cut cost but it will never be on food as Dad always said if you spend your money on food,I won't mind unless you waste it.There are times,when the kind pak cik bakery in college distributes the unsold food when it is nearing closing time but he ensures they are safe to eat and tastes them first to ensure they are not spoilt.I used to get them a lot and I would just distribute it to my friends.

Well,the bottle of Nutella in this picture was given to me by a friend and I only ate it a few times because yeah-it is fattening plus I am not a big fan of bread.Therefore,I chose to just pass it to Si Jie and Zulaikha,fellow food lovers on my floor who was were elated when they received it.The gift of food is something very noble and you should practise it too.Happy World Food Day everyone! |
