Who ate all the pie?

IT’S a known fact that Malaysians love to eat. When it comes to food, shoes and malls, we’re spoilt for choice. I remember from a young age being introduced to the “all you can eat” buffet. Everything looks so good and I must have it all – especially the desserts. So I’d pile on my plate not just with one but a few mini cakes, the little tartlets and kuih-muih – all to be wasted later after a taste test. That’s when I learnt the idiom “waste not, want not” and realised that my eyes were always much, much bigger than my stomach. My greed overtook my hunger and I ended up wasting so much food. Of course as a child I was told, think of all the children around the world with no food and I’d always wonder if my half eaten curry puff would survive the travel and if a hungry person would still find it appetising.

Sometimes people think because they can get away with lots more, the deeds become bigger, like cooking the books or other criminal activities.

Bringing up dogs

I ONCE thought small children are lovely and fun to be with particularly during festive seasons. They enhance the joyful ambience of family togetherness. But now after a few days I get bored playing “aging uncle”. I keep asking myself, what if they grow up to be serial killers or decide to migrate to Kathmandu.

WORLD Peace. Freedom. Brotherhood. If there was a moment when the world felt united by belief in these ideals, it was when pictures of the Berlin Wall being torn down were beamed around the world.
