New Accomplishment
I’ve had my first “solo” lunch today at the foodcourt…..Why should this be an accomplishment? I’ve never really had my meal in the “open” before. At times when I have no company for any meals, I will either make sure I find someone or that I will simply pack lunch home to eat.
In this case, since I had no one to lunch with this week yet, I thought I try eating on my own. And yes…I did it! Haa…
I guess in my whole life, I have been blessed to always have someone to eat lunch with. With this new culture, I guess my “blessings” sorta ran out and I just had to be independent. At first I didn’t like the idea, simply because I really wasn’t quite used to this. At times when I really had no one to have a meal with previously, I would always pack home. And in this case, I had packed sandwiches and ate them whilst reading newspapers in the pantry.
Today, I actually had lunch on my own at the foodcourt.
Revelations: It ain’t as bad as I thought it would be. I get to choose where to go, what to eat and of course, can eat as slowly as I want to. And after lunch, if I still have some time on my own, I can walk around to wherever I feel like it. Hee…I can choose to skip lunch and go shopping too!!! Chinatown’s not too far from here…and if I have any errands I need to run…I can choose to do it anytime and anywhere I deem fit. Hee…
I think I’m starting to take a more positive side to this whole new job, new environment, and new culture feat. Feels good to be able to do whatever u want…
Let’s see what happens few months down the road huh? =)
