a foodie entry

i have a class and it's called The Craft of Writing.

i wrote a poem today and was supposed to write about my favourtie activity - eating. hah. but be warned that it's defnitely not of any academic worth haha.. it's plainly for amusement (: it's meant to be monosyllabic.. but er.. hahaha i feel handicapped without using words that's more than a syallable long!!!!

here goes:

stuff, chew and chomp,
the joy of food that makes me glad.
eat snack and gorge,
the pig-outs, they com-plete my day.

if one goes with-out food,
their guts are sure to stomp!
why give food a miss?
it's sure to give you bliss!

when one asks what's the best,
make sure they get fried bread.
spread thick cream in excess,
you're sure to hear O-LEH!

so tell me now, why not eat?
to eat to live or live to eat?
the latter - i am sure to be! (:




and now, for another free writing exercise.
an expressive piece about canteen B in NTU. (we were made to sit in there for 30mins to come up with adjectives to describe the canteen. by far, the most fun activity. coz we snacked. haha)

*disclaimer: people from ntu may not necessarily agree with this post. coz canteen b is supposed to be one of the most.. chui canteens. oops..

walking down the flight of stairs, a cacophony of voices and movements raided my senses. sitting down at the row of tables, the glaring sunlight flooding through the tinted glass panels blinded me momentarily. settling in, seated comfortably, one's senses are bombarded with an array of smells and sights. the steady hum of the electric fans and the clanking of pots andpans blended in chromatic harmony. the boisterous company of sprightful friends made eating a far greater delight. steaming hot; piping food satisfied our bellowing stomaches and like the rushing flow of charlie's chocolate river, the iced-mile's refreshing coolness invigorated my spirit. there is nothing like food and good company that brings a smile to my face.

notice that i never said that the food there is good...
