Inside Matters ! Nasi Lemak Matters!
It's been a long and exhausting week running around especially with the terrible weather conditions. Makes me wonder how people can still walk around in the heart of KL and not feel affected in any way. Gosh, I really hope this weather turns around.
I love to pamper myself and I feel i must reward myself after those intense seven days at the gym (it's not as easy as it looks! I swear it's difficult running on the thread mill for 15mins. Wonder how those "uncles" can run for so much more".) So today I got up of bed extra early to catch the nasi lemak store at the nearby market before they close. Luckily, there was still a lot more left. phew.
Sitting down looking at my nasi lemak packet all clean to the last rice grain, i felt so contented. Then I thought to myself, "hey, this is a pretty small ugly looking thing but it is satisfying.". Haven't you ever wondered how or why simple things like nasi lemak makes us so happy?
Okay, picture it this way. You wake up one morning. It's a beautiful morning. The sun is up high and the gentle sun rays penetrate through your window blinds. You comfortably walk down to stairs only to find a packet of nasi lemak on the table for breakfast. From the looks of it, you don't want to even go close to it, but that's the only thing you have to eat.
That's what you see for breakfast. Doesn't look nice does it?You lift the packet up, it's bottom is oily from the sambal within. Hesitantly, you open the small packet and....
you are greeted with an intense aroma of steamed coconut rice, sambal, ikan bilis and egg.Hey, who expected to see all this in a small tiny little brown packet?
Immediately your perception of the food changes. You are eager to feel how it tastes like. Slowly putting a little of everything on the small plastic food, your mouth is filled with saliva and you can't wait to taste it.
I know your mouth is watering now :p Mine isPlacing the spoon into your mouth, the intense taste reaches your taste buds and you crave for more. Now you know what heaven tastes like! It is literally indescribable and you slowly indulge in the little packet.
As the famous saying goes, don't judge a book by it's cover and like many people say, the presentation is just the bonus but it doesn't matter at the end of it all. Yes, indeed inside matters. Who knew that a small packet of nasi lemak could taste so good? Though the packet was oily, sluggish and looked as though it had very little content, unexpectedly you tasted heaven in that one small packet. It’s not what is on the outside, but what is inside that matters most!”
PS, I'm pretty evil. look at these pictures :p
go out and get one now!Oh yes before I end this post, I attended an Intel Insiders party. It's a pretty cool event, met a lot of new people there and have access to secrets :p. Also learnt that Intel has their very own blog. Check it out at http://www.myintelblog.com/. If you ever have the chance to attend their parties, DO IT. It's worth the time, seriously.
