Dinner talk

This was one of our occasional get-together dinners - this time at East Coast.

We had a guy who is a great prawn eater. He bit off the prawn's head, crushed it and sucked out the ‘nectar’ inside. Then he deposited the residue on the plate and picked up the prawn’s body with chopsticks and began peeling the shell off with his teeth. All the while his fingers never touched the prawn.

“Hei, SL, prawns high in cholesterol you know,” said HW.

“Don’t worry lah; healthy people, don’t eat this and that also die suddenly.”

“These are very rare cases, form an insignificant percentage but those who eat anyhow – the probability of getting diseases very high,” : HW.

HW is a maths man, always talks about percentage and probability.

“Ya, can eat the unhealthy food but eat less and less often,” said the health expert from F&N. I think she ate only one prawn.

Later came a plate of chicken. One lady picked up a piece and examined it carefully. When others looked at her, she said, “See cooked properly or not, if not got bacteria.”

Haha...this lady is in the biology discipline.

There was no one in the arts or humanities, so no one to wax lyrical about the food.

...more talk on food…then some gossips...

Then someone said he intended to organize a trip to Genting in the last week of November, before the end of the O-level exams. I indicated my interest as I have not been there for quite some time and I like the cool weather. Cameron Highlands also has cool weather and is a relaxing place but no one seemed interested. Perhaps it is too quiet. But if you like a few days in solitude, CH is a good place.
