Less Is More
Roughly a week before the Spring Festival Eve, I had already started laying out plans for what I was going to cook that nigh. A big feast, I told myself, with the same enthusiasm a little boy has for a trip to the Disney Land. So, I started designing the menu: dumplings, ribs, chicken, fish… The menu went on forever, even though it was just for one person.
Keeping it simple
Afterwards, I went on shopping sprees. Note: not A shopping spree; but shopping SPREES!!! There is an old saying that goes, ‘shop till you drop’. Well, I dropped, every single time. Right up till the morning of the Spring Festival Eve, I was still quite keen on making a big meal. Then, out of the blue, I had the sudden urge to weigh myself. So I stepped on the scale.
“62 kg”, the number on the display pad blinked and twinkled like a little star, brightening up my day. I remembered a day before, when my roommate left to celebrate the new year with his parents, I told him, “as long as I am under 63k after the new year, I will be happy. So, eat away!” I was sooo ready, to feast on some delicious food the same way I did during all the eating shows.
