doodles . soup, anyone?

soup, anyone?

12.23am coded 140411, Thursday and it’s breezy. If there is a bowl of nice and warm soup in front of me now, I will not be typing this because I will be enjoying the warmth and bud-tantalizing liquid. I started learning the skill in cooking a pot of great soup when I was in my primary years because I’m a soup-lover. Anywhere which sells great soup will catch my taste-bud’s attention and it’s a must to order. In my family tradition, our dinner includes a fish, a dish of green vegetables, eggs whether it’s a sunny side-up or omelet, or bean-curds. The most important dish to be on the table is a bowl of soup. Without the soup is like McDonalds without the fries to me. One of my best-time favorite soups is ABC as how we named it. Some named it ‘Lo-Sung-Tong’ and some even call it the Chinese minestrones. Carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, onions and pork-loaf or chicken are the main ingredients. Adding in with a few pinches of salt and pepper will do well. Cutting the tomatoes and onions into wedges are fun. Cutting the carrots and potatoes into small cubes are more funs. And the other thing I love about this soup is that I can mesh the stocks of the soup into my rice and creates a porridge-like dish and I always get scold by mom on this. It happens to be the same thing that I will do to my whipped potato when I mix the brown sauce with the potatoes or how I mix the black pepper with my chili sauce when I consume my French fries. Sounds weird but it makes my meal better. You’re lucky enough if you did taste my cooking before because I seldom cook but I love cooking very much. I just can’t master the skill of fish frying… T.T

1.28am coded 020411, Saturday and it’s going to the second day since I pronounced as a part-timer in the company I worked for 8 years long. Survive is what we need to fight for everyday in our daily life. A baby will cry for milk, a kid will create chaos to get attention, she will dress up to keep his heart, he will work hard enough to get her hands and celebrities around the world might create stories to give a chance to be exposed through the paparazzi lens.  

Yesterday it was a night out with a group of my great friends cum colleagues cum ex-colleagues cum partner cum other half cum students cum ex- students and my god son’s parents. It was a farewell dinner for someone I dearly love in heart (though I don’t say it but I do love you and care for you... T.T)  

Before the dinner ends, an old man approached and he was selling tissues and repays his gratitude to us by playing with his musical instruments including a harmonica. As he makes his way, he looked back to us and says… “Ah-pak is already 80 years of age, I’m old and don’t have a job but I rather earn money through selling tissues and playing music than begging for money.” A sudden applause was given to him as he moves to the other tables.

Today, 2 young ladies made their way to my boutique and they ask for a favor to reside a donation coin-box at our counter. In the end, me and jess found out that they were working as volunteers for a NGO centre and they provides FOC tuition classes for those below affordable lines in daily routines. Though they are young but I felt that what I’m already doing to help the community is incomparable to them. If this is facebook, I’m going to give them thousands and millions of ‘Like’ to support and praise them.

Survive is a must but it depends on what we need at different levels of life and what we demand for. I hope I can survive in the future with the power to approach, demand, create and change. No waves are too high and no seas are too deep for someone with heart. Even a kitty will have her ways to seek attention and get what she wants. If you lose hope, you’ll really lose it. Hope is a good thing as Andy says in Shawshank Redemption.
