i didn't know that the government is monitoring our ingestion patterns!!! now that sounds an awfully lot like Orwell's Nineteen Eighty Four. they have set down strict regulations for the canteen vendors of public schools NOT to sell anything that is fried, anything that contains more than 70% sugar. (uh ok, so i made that up... but they don't allow the selling of desserts and sweets) In short, anything that is vaguely sumptuous to the students in schools.

I know that they have in mind establishing healthy lifestyles, BUT (and that is one big BUT.. no puns intended thank you very much) look at the rest of the food that the poor deprived canteen vendors are serving us now! With no avenue to express their fantastic creativity for the manufacturing of fat-free food (fat for free, that is), they are now faced with an irresistable urge to just grab hold of that bottle of oil and dump the entire content into the pot. And of course, the urge being irresistable, lucky us, we get oil-drenched vegetables and suffocated noodles. very appetizing i assure you.

and so anyways, the canteen vendors get driven to a point of dementia where the most basic Asian instinct comes in. SAVE WHATEVER YOU CAN! WANT NOT WASTE NOT! =) people in my school have actually seen a cackling old woman enthusiastically taking out the weeners from the hotdog buns and delicately wiping the mayo off it. And what does she do next, you wonder. SHE PLACES IT IN A HUGE PLASTIC BAG!!!!!!!!!! how bizarre is that?

i'll bet any of you good money that she REUSES those pathetic weeners for some unsuspecting soul the next day!

please do not come to our school canteen if you treasure your life. its good advice i tell you.

and you'd better listen.
