The exam epidemic's broken out in this part of the world, and people suffer from miscellanous symptoms that don't quite match up. Try this for an example. Yours truly, in between devouring strawberries+cream and daydreaming about the homecoming trip, is not doing too good. Nevertheless, trying hard to be optimistic. haa.
I’m pacing; small steps. I’m running, I’m raring to go. I stumble; I fall. I pause, reflecting. I rise. I’m catching up. I’m anxious, common sense quashed. I’m dashing to the end; I can see the light. I may not win. But I will be there. At the finish line.
About to break down, more like. Haha. This is where I stop, to leave room for some serious reflecting. And studying.
Oh yeah, besides mangoes being exotic and costing a small fortune, it really threw everything into perspective after hearing my roomie’s story regarding her therapy practical teacher, a gastroenterologist. The class were talking about weird stuff that people in different places ate, coming across examples like snakes, rats, etc. Then the teacher spoke about a television program he saw, showcasing a weird ‘cuisine’ people made. What did these people do, you ask? They fried bananas.
It took a while to have me stop laughing so hard my stomach hurt.

And to think that pisang goreng is being ate by many malaysians every evening!
i watched this on the astro travel channel. a chef travelled the world to sample the most weird food.
so this guy travelled all over asia; swallowing live octopus in korea, eating raw beating frog heart in japan, savoring fried bats in laos, devouring python in hong kong and snacking on fried grasshopper/crickets in thailand. he ate them all.
his last destination was penang, to try the balik pulau durian. he said, quote, "after travelling asian, i am beaten by a fruit". he could not swallow the sweet tangy durian flesh.
d'uh!

I was around eight or nine years old when I read this sentence in one of those Childcraft books. "Has it ever occured to you that some people find maggots and fish eyes to be absolutely delightful dishes but cheese is something that's really horrible?"
To say I was surprised was the understatement of the year.
My childhood friends have very different palates as well, they spoke affectionately of fried snakes, porcupines and biawaks. I asked them how did they taste, much better than fried chicken! they told me. I'll take their word for it.
Then again, I absolutely can't stand durian, but I love petai and jering.
