food.. glorious food..

have you ever think of all the food that you've eaten for the year. well, i dont. hahaha! until i bought a digicam, i started taking pictures of almost anything under the sun (provided my battery dont die on me first!).

first and foremost.. i've got to admit that i have put on some weight this year. shall not say how much extra have i gain but enough for some of my friends to see the difference since i left college till now. with all the food that i've been brought to try out, its no suprise. hahaha..

lets see.. i've not been to chili's so often in a year before. well, in the previous project that i was assigned to, i have been to chili's easily more than 5 times! not calculating the other times i've been there on weekends with friends. but the bottomless tostada chips and drinks managed to attract many of us.. *grin* well, there's also other 'first-time' places that i've been this year..
> first time attending a vegetarian wedding
> first time eatting buffet at mandarin oriental hotel
> first time eating suckling pig
> first time eating austrian style escargot (or snails!)
> first time eating in victoria station
> first time eating a RM10 prawn noodle (gosh!)
> first time eating bario rice (the best!)

so, yes.. i have been well taken care by my friends around me. haha..

but i guess the best experience i've had concerning food this year is the choice to fast coffee for a mission trip i was going to attend. james and i decided to go on the coffee fast for about.. 43 days, i think. man.. it is seriously tough but it was worth it. to persevere on with the coffee fasting and to continue to encourage one another was really an experience. and i believe the outcome from the fasting in the mission trip was just over-whelming.. to me, personally. but of cuz, when we got back from the trip, we are back to drinking coffee.. hehe

but i guess the best food of all is the food that can never make us hungry anymore. the bread of life. ultimately, without the bread of life, i could be spiritually starving while my physical body is feeding on all the best food the world could offer.

well, i'm still feeding on it..
