vegetarian pains

I'm following the fasting and praying that is going on in DUMC although it would have to be my own version. Working at this late hour (1:16 am), I doubt I can wake up at 5:30 anymore.

So I've decided to fast meat (it's a Danielic fast! Check out the book of Daniel).

It's not easy because I am 100% omnivorous. I like meat and vege equally and also prefer to have them in equal portions in my meals.

I've also discovered it's quite a pain being vegetarian because I keep having to ask the food sellers if some dish has meat or not. Today I asked the teppanyaki chef to remove this and that from my rice. He must have thought me a pain. I am beginning to think it is harder than not eating at all. But I get depressed if I don't eat.

Let's see how well I do until Sept 2 in view that I would be (1) moving to our new apartment and (2) traveling almost non-stop in the next two weeks and (3) will be working late nights.

(1) - Yay!!! We found a three bedroom HDB maisonette (two floors) that is very spacious and breezy and clean and settled on it immediately. Aileen is taking the master bedroom and I the second room. The common toilet has GREEN floor tiles!!! I would need to find ingenious ways to cover that up. We need a third person to take up the third room which is much better furnished than mine cos it is more expensive. It has a double bed, vanity, shelves, wardrobe, TV and airconditioned. Know anyone who might be interested?

(2) Ironic that, just when I decided I have enough of traveling...

back to work...
