Chor Bee Hoon
Anyone ever ate the Dong Dong Fish Soup at arts canteen?
The one with the thick beehoon? The white kind?
Ever tried to eat that thick slimery beehoon with chopsticks? Or chopsticks and spoon?
Just when u gather the few strands of beehoon, and you look at it deliciously, moving it slightly towards your mouth to take it all in...
ONE strand starts slipping off your spoon, and in no time, it all slips off, and u got NOTHING left on the spoon!!
So you start all over again, gathering strands of beehoon and trying to put them together so u can enjoy it..
Someone once said, life is like a bowl of fish soup beehoon; u never know how much u'll eventually get on your spoon.
And then there are times when u see that ONE strand starting to slip off, and u try to rush the beehoon into your mouth.. sometimes u manage to catch those few strands left.. other times u don't..
So much like life. So many times we gather all that we have on our spoon, thinking that in 2 seconds time we can enjoy it.. but at that very same moment, it slips off, and we start all over again gathering the beehoon.. other times we try to salvage whatever is remaining of the beehoon into our mouths.. but we are not always successful.. many things we try hard to gather, but they slip out of our hands.. and many things we have absolutely no control over.. so we pick up the pieces and move on.. somehow i feel my life is always like that.. it's always slipping out of my spoon.. and i'm always picking up pieces.. starting all over again.. it's been a long time since i had real joy.. u noe like e spring in ur step kinda thing... hmmm...
where can i find joy again?
