nora became the first of my frends to get engaged. congrats to her! she's still in line to be the first of my frends to kena shotgun. work hard!

so we went to her place on sunday to congratulate her, give her a nice card and a nice angbao, and also to enjoy some of her mum's famous delicious food. i can't remember the last time i ate with my hand(s) but i probably learnt somewhere or was melayu in my past life (somebody asked me today whether im melayu) coz i was a NATURAL at eating with my hand.

Eating with a Hand 1101E : Mash and mix the Food with ur fingers. Giap the Food with your fingers. Push the Food into a Mouth with ur thumb. Enjoy!

I learned a couple of benefits to eating with ur hand:
1. its quite impossible to put too much food in your mouth coz your fingers can only hold so much. this means that u eat less per time that food enters your mouth. if u always spend the same time eating, this ultimately means u eat LESS = SLIMMER! woot!

2. u can play around with ur food. u can pick meat off a piece of chicken. u can separate the long beans fr the lettuce. WITHOUT LOOKING. this might sound trivial but i distinctly remembered toking to and looking at someone for like half a min while my fingers were busy at work picking meat, vege + rice into a ball and pop it all into my mouth WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE FOOD. try doing that with fork+ spoon.
