i made it thru LENT.....

i abstain from all meat...fish...seafood... i lived like a vegan for 47 days!!!

WHAT AN ACHIEVEMENT!! for me at least.

it was not easy at all to fast like that.... i love chicken rice...imagine what its like to pass so many hawker centers selling chicken rice and i cannot eat them.

i live on vegetables.... mushrooms...rice and more vegetables and more mushrooms.....

i have NEVER eaten more mushrooms that i ever had in my lifetime..... i am totally sick of it now....

so this was my interesting menu for the 47 days of LENT

for breakfast
coffee.... with plain bread..... or cheese with bread..... or just coffee......

for lunch
mushroom with vegetables.... sunny side up eggs..... tomato soup with eggs.......

for dinner.... i had something a little different.....
vegetables with mushrooms..... scrambles eggs.... and eggs with tomato soup....

so many variates and combinations..... i was totally spoiled for choice!!!

i remember there was one day during Lent period, my uncle invited us to his big birthday bash..... it was in a super expensive restaurant at pan pacific.....

i did not tell them that i am doing my penance... as i don't really want to trouble anyone to make any special arrangement... and than everyone fuse over me asking me why.....

it was a 8 course dinner... it was all meat.... duck... shark fins.... fish..... pork...... CHICKEN!!!! and at dish number 6....my dish finally came....

*DRUM ROLL*...it was vegetables with mushroom!!!! finally my first course of the 8 course dinner..... oh...of course i had the birthday cake......

and so...lent is over.....

on Easter Sunday..... after 47 days..... all hell broke lose!!!

i had my first taste of chicken rice - the best in town...... double yummy.... and double slurp!!!! what a reward....

another useless thought
