the porridge

i remember blogging about the steaming bowl of noodles before this. sometimes, we stumble upon other things in life. today, i had a sudden urge to blog about a bowl of porridge. hope you enjoy it ;)

as you know, a bowl of porridge comes with an assortment of ingredients. you have a choice of chicken, groundnuts, preserved eggs, dried oysters and many more. it all really depends on the person actually. some may comment, that certain ingredients don’t taste so good and so forth. the most important ingredient i feel, is the labour of love and care involved in preparing the dish. of course too much of anything, is a bad thing.

how do you value a well prepared bowl of porridge? how do you place a price on it? i guess no one has the absolute answer. some may not be interested at all. some may find it priceless. i guess it’s as the saying goes, “beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder”. if a person likes it, they may patiently wait in a long line and pay whatever is due, to have it.

having gone through some ups and downs in life, my advice would be, don’t focus so much about the ingredients, price or anything. the most important thing is enjoying it. after all, you have already been offered the bowl of porridge. it is up to you on how to value it. life can be as simple as we want it, or as complicated as we choose it. hope you understand my blog today.
