美國人愛形容法國浪子為「那條法國麵包」，在英語的世界裡，女人是「密桃」，情人是「密糖」，「牛奶」、「葡萄」或者「巧克力」，食物用來比擬人，總是美好的，但中國人的世界卻不一樣，和食物有關的，都不是好東西。

妓女是「雞」，男妓是「鴨」。
老女人是「老藕」，男人愛上年紀比自己大的女人就是「煲老藕」。
沒反應的人叫「死魚」，雙眼無神睛叫「死魚眼」。
蠢人是「一舊飯」，容易受騙的人是「水魚」。
倚靠妓女維生的叫「龜婆」或「龜公」。
死屍叫「鹹魚」。
臉孔胖的叫「發水麵包」，眼睛小的叫「豆豉眼」，瘦人叫「排骨」，胖人叫「豬」，又矮又胖的叫「大冬瓜」或「大番薯」，大腿粗壯的叫「金華火腿」，穿得臃腫的就是「裹蒸稷」，女人的乳房太小就叫「荷包蛋」或「生煎包」，手指又肥又短的叫「皇帝蕉」，小腿太胖就說是「蘿蔔腿」，哨牙就叫「西瓜刨」。

你看我們把自己和食物醜化到甚麼樣子？

食物該是美好的，應該用來比擬愛情，比擬美麗的身段，比擬情人身上的特點。

為什麼西方人可以，而中國人不可以？會不會是我們的食物不夠優雅？是的，你總不能形容一個中國男人說「那條中國臘腸」，好難聽，還是「法國麵包」含蓄得多。

For those who are into eating organic fruits, a little guide to the stickers you always see on them. The numbers found on these labels tell you whether they are conventional, organic or genetically modified fruit. Remember, a store is not obligated to tell you whether the fruits they sell are GMO.

Conventional Fruit
Grown with herbicides and harmful fertilizers.
Four digits.
Mostly begin with the digit 4.
Do not begin with the digit 9!
E.g. 4922

Organic Fruit
Five digits.
Begin with the digit 9.
E.g. 99222

Genetically Modified Fruit
Begin with the digit 8.
E.g. 89222

Shop safe! =)

Been neglecting this blog for a while already...so I think I'll make this little update on what's been happening in my life lately. Mainly, it has been a simulation of hell if I'm totally honest with myself =(

The reason for this is my dad's new job: owner of a foodcourt shop in Box Hill selling Japanese food. By the title of this post, I'm sure you would have guessed it's name already: Sushiman. However, I am NOT working there. Honestly, as a medical student, I rarely have enough time to do my own work, let alone take a part-time job at my dad's shop. My contribution to the shop is much more practical than that =P

During the mid-year holidays (and even now, I'm still in the process of editting these):




And so much more...all drawn and composed in photoshop T_T Whilst I do enjoy photoshopping, I can't say that I really enjoyed making these. They were so 麻烦 to make and my dad was also so 麻烦. Ah well, at least now I can use my studies as an excuse to procrastinate =D
Anyway, I am currently at CBP (yeah, you can tell how much work they're giving us ^^) but our academic advisor is on the way so I think I'll finish this post now.

Today we made cookies!! =D Big thanks to Cheng Khoon for providing the recipe ^^ We ended up making about half a dozen trays and we still only had one box left over...so full at the moment T_T but also so satisfied =P
