Breaking your limits...Ever tried pulling off a gargantuan stunt, one that will probably put a feather to your cap, or if not, at least you know, that you achieved something?? I just pulled it off earlier.
As most of my friends would know, and Mother condones it everytime I tell her, I usually have at least a meal from McDonalds' every two days. I do not know why. Perhaps its my dysfunctional body clock, or their wonderful 24hr delivery service that has to be, their greatest gift to mankind at the moment.
Being a member means you earn points, and with countless deliveries, the points kept on piling up. Till today, I told myself, time to use them up. Now, do note, that I had my first dinner (or lunch) at 5.30pm, and it was roastec chicken rice.
At 9.35pm, I make my way to Canteen A, all set to use my points up. Having gotten there, I was thinking, why not try the 20 piece McNuggets. Gargantuous, it sure was, but hey, at least my roomie's back in hall. Should not be a prob la.
Having gotten it, I return back. Then, horror of horrors, my roomie's disappeared. Again. I call him, he tells me, its okie, he has eaten. Left with 20 pieces, I decide, Okie, ITADIKIMASU (lets eat in japanese). As I was about to dip my first nugget, Yanling calls. We chat for awhile, before hanging up. Again, the same nugget, and this time, Gomathi. I was like, its a sign eh? Now, Gom and Yanz, I find them really similar, in that whenever I chat with them, I just cannot stop but laugh at their antics and yet, be ever so practical about stuff.
Then, it begins. One nugget, two nuggets. All whilst watching Munich on my laptop. Then, I see two blinking messages. Grrr, Sailaja and Usha telling me how they hated me for whacking 20 nuggets, and yet remain ever so lean. Sheesh. Haha. 45 minutes later, I was done, albeit struggling to finish up the last four.
Life, is all about testing your limits. You get a kick by achieving outta the ordinary. I ain't saying this is a huge achievement, but if we kept pushing on and never give up, ultimately, we will reach the end, and it will feel, like a huge achievement. No pain, no gain. =)
As for me, well, I just have a bottomless pit for a stomach. And yet, can't seem to pile on the pounds. Arghh!!!!
