Yesterday was May's birthday and my family together with my sister and brother had a buffet lunch at Sirkes, E&O Hotel. I think it is the best buffet spread now in Penang. There was huge varieties of food. Sushi, Peking Duck, grilled salmon fish head, Char keow teow and all type of seafood. You name it and they got it. You can eat , eat and continue to eat until they close at 3pm. Wonderful food and quantity is generous. It was a guilty trip but just for May.
I Left with my wife at 2pm , heavily sedated with food. The food is ready to come out of our nose, ears and eyes , just to exaggerate a bit. It was full of temptation and we just let go. It was fill to the brink for the whole day and we have to reduce our dinner for a bowl of simple congee.
May is a social animal and she has so much offer for dinners and lunch during these two days and I have to constantly remind her of the extra weight from these sumptuous food. To reduce a kg, it took us a few days and hardship but putting on a kg , it comes with pleasure. Well, the lesson is that we have to avoid the temptations and avoid the sight of good food.
Just now, I was blogging and I came across a youtube video and this young girl speak about the earth that is changing so fast that there is a real threat on nature including clean water and food. She said that while some countries are throwing tons of food down the drain , in those poor countries , the children is dying of famine, under nourished and hunger. If human being is kind and compassionate, such wastage could be put to good use.
May is a kind hearted and compassionate girl. She do cares for the poor but her priority now is to enjoy life and I think she is doing the right thing. I think a lot of youngsters her age is taking a too serious stand in life. There is an advice to the/ youngsters " Only fools will do nothing wrong through their eyes but wise man listen to advise" .
Namaste.
