Can you cook it the same way ?

I cooked breakfast this morning. Eggs sunny side up. Some ketchup at the side. Sugar on the ketchup and pepper on the eggs. And bread at the side.

This is the breakfast that i am often fond of when i was young. My mum usually cooks it for me. Even though simple but the taste of it just taste like my mum has cooked it for me.

can you cook other dishes that taste like what you mum can cook ? for me i think it is really hard as she is a good cook and her stuffs are complicated. her chinese cooking is hard to imitate.. if i have 3-4 dishes that can match her cooking i will be glad.

so give it another 20-30 years when they have gone old and heavens.. can you cook that one dish that you can taste a piece of your mum ? i think this will be the closest i can come to my mum. Food is probably the way for many of us asians.

Sometimes when mum tend to cook too much. i think we have to appreciate the effort first before we complain that it is too much. I tried cooking for people and i love to cook more just in case there are too little to go around. And that is exactly why mums can cook a lot. we have only one mum and only one taste .. the tongue that u have now grew up with the taste and grew used to the taste of her cooking.

so what are the dishes you want to bring with you into your later ages.. when u finally become a parent. and will you pass on this taste you had from your mother ?

before that can happen .. we have to start learning and appreciate from our mothers when they are still around because memories can remember taste that well.

On Jobs

A quick look at jobsdb.com it is not hard to discover that the job market is boiling now. I think to the extend that any tom dick and harry can get a job.

Some job agent called that day and asked me whether i have so and so experience. I said yeah i have heard about it and learnt it over a course i have taken recently. And he immediately put me down as someone capable in doing that job and sent my profile in for a selection. I guess there is really lack of suitable talents now so much that they are giving everything anything a chance. Like pick 4D number like that.

The job pages look as if jobs comes free. As if the market is gonna be able to pay them the huge price tag forever. And this is a very worrying sign.

i suddenly recalled something adam khoo said.. " if you do what everone is doing you will get what everyone is getting" So .. if everyone just go into the sector that is seen to be hot.. in the end you will not be better off joining them. Right ? Gosh .. i feel not right saying this.. because i know i will jump into that hot sector wagon as it is something that i guess i am best at doing at the present moment.

so everyone will somehow get a job in some banks or some engineering firm . in the end only the best will stay longer n get paid better. the rest are just the pawns on a chess board... to be killed or sacrificed when needed. Sometimes even a Queen can be sacrificed. Only King matters.

So it is nearing new year.. chinese new year.. scary.. so many jobs. very scary.
