Senior vs Hor Fun

The teacher started class by calling everyone to take out their pencil and paper and to write an essay comparing a person, apart from your relatives, that they knew to an object. little johnny john jon shabadoo was sure of what he was going to write all about.

My senior

My senior is like my favourite food, Ipoh Hor Fun. the dish reminds me of her character, she can be smooth and slick like the noodle, yet the chilli packs enough punch to make me want to eat more, just like the way she intrigues me. even though the food is supposed to be savoury, she defies convention, and like the chunks of char siew, is sweet in the multiple layers. Overall, she makes me happy, and is the perfect comfort food for me in the morning.

But like all food, if i were to eat it everyday, i would not like it as much as before. i might even dislike the taste and complain on how its faults instead of complimenting the good things that never change. I would find that the rich taste of the same food everyday overbearing, and sometimes i wish to eat something blander and less complex.

yet when i go cold turkey, i miss the taste of having it for breakfast, and i would crave Hor Fun above all else, but i can only eat the dull whole bran cereal that i have every other day.

i didnt know how to appreciate the things that were in front of me. instead of relishing the fact that i have that comfort food, instead i get cocky and think that i can go without it at all. I started to realise this, so i told myself to be happy and learn to appreciate it more, but then my grandpa started buying from a different stall and it was not the same.

Until i can convince my grandfather to change back to the previous stall, i have to be content with what i have got, i think the flavour is slowly reverting though, the stall uncle must be getting better?

but i have learnt one thing if anything at all, it would be that since i enjoy it, yet i do not want to take it for granted, i can have it once a while, and on special occasions. it would seem that i seem to meet her when something special is organised, then i appreciate her more, and i know what it is like to enjoy good food.

to my senior, you are my Ipoh Hor Fun, and you will always be =D


Senior? what do you think of my essay? do i get my A++?
