Fried Noodles





I was on my way to school in dad's taxi, eating the breakfast that mum woke up extra early to help me prepare. I am a very troublesome person, unlike friends who can conveniently settle their breakfast with some bread, a bun or cereal, I prefer porridge or noodles, something special and preferably Chinese, that is easy for swallowing. (who swallows well in the morning, haha well at least i can't.. sobbles)

Mum made this fried noodles with the maggi noodles. But getting the noodles to be of the right texture and springy-ness is pretty important too. :) Mum definitely got it right, needless to say!!
Mum fried it with sweet sauce and added eggs, crabmeat.. and broccoli! Yum yum! But I didn't do justice to the food because I didn't have much of an appetite then.. Still tired I think. But just looking at the picture of it now makes me salivate. It's late at night now and I am going to bed soon, recounting this and staring at that photo, makes me wanna eat that noodles. I think it is the time of the day and my mood that also affects my appetite and eventually how much I eat. (like before class, or if there is a very narrow time slot for having my meals, I can't eat well. >< ) Sigh. I really love eating, you know.

I don't know why, but since school started, and when I stay over in the hall (because my house is quite far from uni...), food don't really excite me anymore. Except mum's homecooked food, it makes me smile, like from deep within my heart. Everything outside seem so *normal*? Like it doesn't suit my palate anymore. They just feel odd.. And MSG. Meh. Probably the stress from school as well, I guess? I don't know. I feel that everything is still the same? Just have not idea why I am so tired.. Even my other peers feel that way too. >< Is age catching up with me???? :O It's already week 4, in a blink of an eye, and I probably should have adapted? What's there to adapt anyway... Urgh well. Time flies uh.

This post still didn't do justice to the fine-looking plate of noodles mum made. I am so sorry, it's like a rant from a sad uni student.

Anyway, the food is just screaming "DELICIOUS" at you, so need I say much right! :D

就是一种想吃的冲动,而现在的我有那个想法耶, 可是没有。

What breakfast will I have tomorrow? I am already anticipating what mum have in store for me!

Always plenty of food surprises man. :D Looking forward. :)

Morning breakfasts in dad's taxi are no choice because the journey is too time-consuming and I cannot eat well under rushed conditions in school. But the car ride to school is a wonderful bonding session with dad too. We talk about everything, dad shares about his experiences with his passengers (amazed by how he can usually rmb where he travels!! dad is cool.) and I will talk about school, and occasionally about boyfriends hahah and gossip about people like relatives hurhur.

Thanks mum and dad, for being my pillar of support, always.

Sweet dreams.
