I'll be out of this country soon. Finally a well deserved vacation... Channel 5 shows cooking shows round late morning every weekday. I can't help but wonder what would happen if I chose to be a chef. Cooking has always been one of my favorite pastimes, not that I'm a fantastic chef or what. If chance permits, I would not train to be a Chinese cook. Rather, a Western one. Stews, steaks, wines, salads, barbecues, fried chicken New Orleans style, Cajun chicken, scallops, lobsters... The list goes on..Delicious What I really want is to live in a house somewhere in New Zealand, away from chit-chatty Aunties and bengs/lians, away from civilization. My house would have a backyard of sorts, it doesn't need to be big though. Then I'll invite my friends over for barbecues, buffet dinners or simple potluck dinners. New Zealand is certainly one of the few places on Earth where you can live poor with the richness of your environment. Your life should not be dictated by the media, your friends, and most importantly your parents. This is precisely why many Singaporeans are unhappy with life in Singapore or life in general. They are too afraid to break traditions, to disagree with their parents, to ignore what their heart tells them. Traditions are invented by man, and they may never always be correct. Heck I'll choose to eat with forks over chopsticks anytime. Its easier.It makes eating satisfactory. After all, you want to enjoy eating something, not prove to people you can use chopsticks. I can, but i choose not to, because i can think. If you disagree with me on all these, I can safely say that you are just another one of the many normal "obedient" Singaporeans. And yes, you can go screw yourself... Savant at 12/15/2003 12:45:00 pm ;
