That Fast Food Craving

Hmmm... you know how as a kid you definitely had to eat Macs? Well, my parents aren't big fast food fans (which parent is), so I didn't get my weekly dosage as a kid. Now, as a teenager... I think I had fast food at least twice a week, when I was hanging out with my mates at... where else, Toa Payoh Central! :)

Now most people grow out of that need to eat fast food... but... I confess I haven't! Since starting work (so very long ago), I've been looking for colleagues who would relent and accompany me for a fast food fix every once in a while. This was not an issue at my last job, where there have been certain other individuals that needed a "happy meal" to brighten up their day. And to think that access to Macs back then always required some form of transport of other! These days, there is a Macs right next to my office building... but... no one is willing to indulge! Think I have received many a look of disdain everytime I suggested Macs for lunch. Apparently, that word is taboo, and is only acceptable when one is in a rush (aka when there is lunch time shopping to be done, e.g. Mango sale).

So the very deprived me ended up at KFC last night for dinner... and looking at the way I dug into my mash and coleslaw... the comment given was "are you very hungry?"... Well, not hungry, but very deprived. :) Am feeling happier now that I've had my junk food (whoever said that I was an 'atas' eater!), and am all set to tackle my long day ahead. But well, sitting next to me at KFC was a whole bunch of JC students... for those who are too old to remember, it's orientation week, and all the different OGs are having their hangout session... and I was hit by this thought: these "kids" are a whole 10 years my juniors in school! How's that for making you feel ancient.
