And the day is none other than the 15th of April 2010!!!!!
I've always considered meself quite westernised. So it may be a bit of a surprise to you (and even to meself!!!) that i would choose to follow some old chinese beliefs rather than take the advice of medical doctors of the 'Western' medicine.
You see, the chinese have this belief that after a major surgery like the one i went thru in January, i will have to refrain from eating certain kinds of food for 3 months to 100 days! What are those things tt i'm to refrain from? Well, to put it simply, it all happens to be my fav foods!!!! (see here) Except pork. Thank God pork was not on the list!
Failure to compy with such requirements could result in serious consequences - like the wound getting infected.
The doctors of 'western' medicine of course scoff at such practices. Go eat watever you want. Altho i must add that my doctor chose his words carefully when asked if i should refrain from any kinds of food. He replied that 'western' medicine believes i can eat anything i want. Note, he did not say it was his personal view!!!!
Well, having a wound on my head and near my brain made me think twice about neglecting the old ancient chinese beliefs. I dowan the wound to get infected!!! And if you think about it, no one can really disprove the alternative chinese medicine. There certainly has to be some truths in it.
Well, better be safe than sorry, i concluded. To err on the side of caution. After all, it is only for 3 months. And it is only food!!!
I surprised meself at how self-controlled i have been. :-)
Anyways, with my poor maths, i have counted that the 100th day (yeah, i took the longer period - if i can refrain from 3 months, might as well go for the 100 days!) is on 13th April 2010!!!!
Freedom on the 14th!!!! I've oredi made plans of wat to eat! ;-P On the morning of the 14th, i will start off with nasi lemak!!!!! With the prawn based sambal, boiled eggs and peanuts, all things which i have not had for more than 3 months!!!!
Then there is satay, fried kuey teow with prawns, mayonaise in my sandwiches, duck, beef burgers.... April the 14th could not come any faster!!!!
*His 3rd single from his Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1 album. I loved this very acoustic song. And it has a sample of 'You can't always get what you want' at the end of the song.
