FOOD, OH GLORIOUS FOOD.


The only times I totally pig out and indulge myself fully and wholeheartedly in gastronomical delights are when 1) I'm super-stressed with school work --- which is an extremely common phenomenon especially in the face of final-year examinations, or 2) my aunt is visiting soon.


For this week, surprisingly, I have been taking my lunch meals faithfully and religiously and compulsively. Supper, of late, is my best friend. The craving for food; just to eat something, anything, is simply irresistable.
And this is coming from someone who skips her
daily breakfast in favour of getting more beauty sleep, usually drinks a packet of Soy Bean or Milo or have a doughnut or a stick of spring roll for lunch in school; and her typical only proper meal for the entire day is only home-cooked dinner at 10pm plus --- the usual time she gets home from school or CGM or BS.


For these past few days, The Frontier canteen has suddenly become my favourite hangout; and Western Food, Chicken Chop, Chicken Cutlet, Char Siew Rice, and Dumplings Noodles are my constant companions.

I'm on "Rubbish Bin mode". Full gear.













Indeed,
after ending a Physical Chemistry tutorial at 11am yesterday morning, The Rubbish Bin dropped by the canteen and eagerly and ravenously devoured had her lunch --- the ever so tender and succulent Char Siew Rice. Her next lesson, which is a 2hours-long Inorganic Chemistry tutorial, will only start at 2pm. This left The Rubbish Bin with 3 hours of break; which she spent fruitfully by trying to complete the Inorg tutorial worksheet with Meng Yong.

It was a mind-blowing, scream-worthy, and brain-numbing 2hours-plus session of trying to tackle the out-of-the-world tutorial questions. Our brain juices nearly evapourated to nothingness. But heck, I --- The Rubbish Bin --- gotta admit: throughout the horrible 2 hours of sheer torture, occasional thoughts of having a 2nd lunch before heading for Inorganic Chemistry tutorial kept flirting with me. Hmmm... ... ... The Chicken Cutlet tastes absolutely divine as I remember it. I just had it last Friday. Crispy. Crunchy. Tasty. And the portion, I recall, is perniciously gargantuan. So evil. So tempting. Speechless.


Considering all the food that I've been gorging and stuffing my stomach with for these past few days, this is sinful. Really. TOTALLY SINFUL.



And in case you're wondering, no, I didn't give in to my craving and did not have a 2nd meal for lunch yesterday.
Thank goodness.


But I did purchase 2 packets of prawn crackers on my way home, though.
