Six
months ago, I made a promise to GuanYin Ma. I felt so admire to myself
when I made this promise, because I HATE VEGETABLES. The taste, the
texture, ugh! My parents spoiled me and allow me eat whatever I like.
Of course I never choose vegetables, because they were gross. The only
time I really eat vegetables was on Chinese New Year; I had to eat a
type of vegetable, which symbolizes money, or else my parents won't
give me ang pow. Geez. Vegetables just don't taste good at all to me
and I don't understand when some of my friends must have vegetables on
every meal. Once Chi Jiun told me, "I don't understand how can you describe
vegetables as geli."
Some vegetables really make me gag. I
hate cucumber, balsam pear, bean sprouts, and many many veggie names I
don't know. I will take out all the cucumbers from sushi roll, tomatoes
from burger, and used to take out the green bean piece by piece from
fried rice before I tuck them into my mouth.
I eat corn,
potato, ketchup, mushroom, lotus root, tofu, sweet potato, etc, and I
don't really count them as vegetables. When I'm getting older, I'm
working hard to increase the vegetables I eat. I used to only eat five
to six types of vegetables: "dou miao", cabbage, seaweed (only in
soup), "xi yang cai", Chinese water spinach, cauliflower + tomato and
carrot when it is liquidize or soften in soup. Now added up kangkong,
"kim jiam ko", broccoli, spinach, and radish. But I really hate them, I
just want to be healthier because I eat too much junk, especially when
I found healthy food is always much more expensive than junk food in
the USA. I really get jealous when Carmen eat salads while I had my chicken finger in school.
This is me when trying to "swallow" a carrot.
I always show this kind of face while eating vegetables. Sigh! Sometimes I hate myself.
So
after six months, I kept my promise, at last! (cause I suddenly
remember that there are vegetarian meat *snigger*) I think my mom was
more excited than me, she kept tracking on me to make sure I didn't eat
any meat and nagged me to brush my teeth before after 12 a.m., because
I just had a lo mai kai
before that and she thought the meat would stick on my teeth -_-"' I
never thought of that. She told me that I can't keep complaining and
moody if I really want to eat vegetarian with sincere heart and sincere mind. Okay, I didn't
imagine any meat on my head then.
