Just ate Chicken Rice that my family normally frequent every weekend.
I guess this is part of quality time spent with my family.
But, will we still have such quality time or even have meal together when we grow up, when we have our own career and even our own family?
My ans is I will definitely come home for a meal whenever I can, even just to drink a bowl of homemade soup that taste superb or have a chat with my fellow family members. All these little activities may seem unimportant to many, but to me, these are what that strengthen relationships and bondings amongst people.

Mummy said something so common but her words have much value behind it.
She said "One more piece of chicken left, someone take it. Think of those who are starving!"
Yes indeed, poverty still lingers in the world today despite aids given by different countries and organizations. In a society like Singapore today, most people can get whatever they want, changing their handphones like trying clothes, people comparing their styles with one another. As food is no longer a basic neccessity to Singaporeans, they can choose from the large variety of food in this food paradise of ours. Sometimes they may even have headache on what to eat and complaining that its such a trouble on deciding what to eat. However, this is not the case for those who are starving in the third world country. They are extremely contented if they have food to eat, even if they are leftovers. I suddenly thought, when you have no money, you have no food to eat, but when you have money, you do not want to eat. Isnt't it paradoxical?
When people have money, their concern is no longer food but those materialistic needs to keep up with other people, to have a better standard of living. People just take things for granted in life and do not cherish things around them.

I have a friend who is such a person.
She always buy a big plate of food, example: chicken cutlet, drumsticks, french fries all in a plate. However, she can just eat a spoonful of everything and claimed that she is full. isn't that absurd? What's worse is that she just threw away all the food that she just bought.She just literally threw the food she bought into the trash. Yes, I know you are rich, but you shouldnt just throw your money into the drain or rather, your parents hard-earned money. I have no rights to stop you from throwing your money, but the food. Those food may have spared another child or even a family from dying due to starvation. People of our world today should learn to treasure things around them and not to take them for granted.

What a good piece of chicken!
