Life...and other afflictions

The rantings and uninteresting events of my life

I think I have a really bad habit of making things out to be a lot worse than they really are...like going out, which is why I hardly go out these days, whether it be for kickboxing class or German class or whatever...but when I do get out eventually, I find that I enjoy it. SO, why, when it comes to going out the next time, do I feel this immense sense of dread? I'm really confused now.

Oh anyway, yesterday's German class wasn't all that bad. My friend in the class, Ayline, has gotten into the semis of the Charlie's Angels thing...cool man! Anyway, it's a real pity that I cannot go watch, cos of the stuff on tomorrow. Party, collecting A Level cert, maybe dinner? Oh yeah, and my mum's dragging me to her beautician. I screamed when I heard there was something to do with a steamer! oh well, too late to back out now. Maybe I'll get addicted, like Ryan Seacrest or something.

Germany
Germany -
Despite a controversial recent history, it has had
a tough and powerful history. A modern-day
technological and cultural beacon, it is still
target to stereotypes and antiquited thoughts.


Positives:

Technologically Advanced.

Culturally Admired.

Global Power.


Negatives:

Target of Historical Fervor.

Constant Struggle.

Funny-Looking Ethnic Clothing.

Hey Eric, haven't heard from you in ages...how're you? Anyway, doesn't matter that you didn't know. Like when have we ever had lunch together anyway? Anyway, just to tell you, I think Sherry's feeling better nowadays, no more complaints of mid-life crisis (which is crazy!).

Guojun, what on earth do you mean by "we're animals too", cos it's supposedly beneficial to eat the animal proteins, rather than plant proteins, which are not complete proteins. Ethics and beliefs aside, it would thus be the most "nutritious" if we were cannibals...but I don't wanna go there! Why am I telling you this? You're the Bio student, not me! So please get to the point, dear!

Jiat Ling, yup, haven't seen you in ages. Are you going for erm S****'s surprise birthday party this Sat? I cannot spell out the name, but I hope you know who it is. Hope you're going. Ruth and Ranj are going too!

As for the "To be or not to be" Question, I suppose I don't really mind trying out the non-veg option, cos it makes life a lot easier for me and those who go out with me. I mean still, my first love are veggies and actually, I have to admit, I was a thorough carnivore for my whole life before I turned veggie. I refused to eat veggies till my mum said she'd buy me a reward. But then I discovered REAL veggies and now I'm totally in love with them...now if only my maid could cook them better. I like my veggies nice and DEAD!

I guess the only real thing that bothers me now is trying to answer the questions. I used to have to keep explaining why I was vegetarian and now I will have to explain why I changed my mind. I'm not fond of such things. It's not an impulsive decision...I always carefully ponder every side of the issue before I make any decision and announce it to the whole world, like getting my nose and navel pierced...they weren't the result of snap decisions, but month-long careful consideration! Han says I like to surprise the world by not telling the world what I'm up to when I have something planned...just announce it when it's done. But my take on this is, that once you've "announced" something, it sure ain't gonna be easy to take it all back. *sigh*

Oh my goodness, today has passed so quickly!! I just remember getting up and going to church...then being whisked off for lunch with my family...it's a totally rare occasion, cos for once in like EONS, every single member of the family was there! We ate at Burger King's for lunch...well, I ate fries and an apple pie. This kinda made me think. It's really difficult to be vegetarian nowadays...esp when hardly any of my friends are...okay, NONE of the people I know well are...only ying han's best friend, whom I have only met once, but who's really cooL! But the point is, I am beginning to wonder if I made the right choice to go vegetarian some 2 years or so ago. The thing is, I'm not doing it cos I particularly love animals...in fact, I don't. The real real reason is that I kinda feel weird eating something that used to be walking around a while ago and the fact that I haven't eaten meat for 2 years, just adds to my not being used to it. But my mum says animals don't have souls and God made animals to be eaten...erm not ALL but well, you know what I mean. Plus, you only live once...and life would be a lot easier for me. So what should I do? I'm still thinking hard. Being vegetarian hasn't made me healthier...it's made me only worse, cos I end up eating more carbs and fat to make up for the lack of protein. so, what to do, what to do?
