Poco A Poco. Fantasy Vs Reality

!Hoh~

Finally a time to rest my soul.

Friday was a killer - EFMA ica was that much. Mentally straining. What more, i was so tired to have forgotten there's actually a camp going on. So paiseh yea, having forgotten the most important event of the year. But being this way is also a lifestyle yea? gotta enjoy it =) ooo

Gone to LTA's campus that afternoon at hamshire road to collect my winnings! Not cash but a limited adition ez-link card! pictures printed on it is 'the great transport challenge 2020!' after redeemed it, i board a bus two stops down the avenue and alighted opposite simlimsquare. At tekka mall, i had my fill of hokkien mee (one of the best hokkien mee in singapore) and then gone into shengsiong supermarket for a stroll to past time, carrying a big box of donuts bought from wk.

Best Hokkien MEE!

My new ez-link card

Classic: an antique real car found at LTA's campus. (Above) And it's by FORD! (Below)

ALRIGHT, i was disgusted with simpathy not in a good way by the way they handle live food animals. Live frogs are displayed in a large steel container with so many of them together. one of it, probably have felt the danger of being beheaded, tried with its two arms to escape off the container (you can imagine a hamster doing incline pull up). The killed-frog corpes were displayed just so near to their live-counterparts! (Like you and some human meats being left together). Unfortunately the container's been sealed with a large piece of net. When the head got stucked in the tightly enclosed net after several atempts, it had given up. It's eyelids were shut when in contact with the net, imagine how irritated it was. By this time, four days already, I know, it'd have been beheaded and skinned alive or maybe already down right into someone's stomach. I've got videos to support yea. Just wait, i'll add subtitles and post it to youtube and probably stomp to share them around. SAY NO TO FROGS, FELLOW FRIENDS.

After saying so much, I have, HOWEVER, not at all an intention to beg for a start to switch to vegeterian, not even to say partial-vegeterian. All these are part of nature, undoubtly ya? But I beg to urge everybody to at the very least appreciate what's on your plate. Be it plant sources or from animal, each of them somehow or somewhat come at a cost definitely. The cost to you may be the money you exchange it for. That's PEANUT. Compare it with the years of cultivating the crops and rearing of quality animals at the farmers' ends; sacrificing the years and days alive, as if dead, in cramped cages and bars as though being put in prison with no say at all when they've actually innocently done NOTHING wrong, and playing of the game of chance to see who's day would it be to be slaughtered before the next sunrise; the painful moment when they're shot, culled, slaughtered, slashed, skinned, beheaded, or heated alive till death brings their warmth apart from their beloved family of cubs awaiting for be breasts-fed; the contributions to the el nino state the world is now facing, given the large amount of plants needed to feed the animals which require land spaces let out by deforestation; and of course the methane gases released from the livestocks systems. In the next centuries to come your grandchildren might be there struggling for oxygen because there's only one tree on earth left. Or even worse there's no basic criteria for living, and there'll not be any new generations. What causes it? Guess no more but partly the pieces of meat you ate yesterday. Though we can't really see or control what's going to happen after 200 years, what we can do now is to be both morally and socially responsible for what we're doing because for every little course of actions we perform does greatly affect the shape of the future.

Care to even appreciate your food and not to waste?

AIYO BACK TO POINT:

Actually it's not really the frogs that matter. It's the way they manage their storefront.

Mutton section: the butcher culling the already-dead sheep rib-cage. With the pungent smell stucked in the aircon.

Seafood section: live fishes swiming their way only to end up with heads chopped off while alive, or the stomach turned over in the cloudy water while they're alive. cat fishes struggling in water half the height of their body. Big fishes put to suffocate on an old cardboard probably because their dying while in water. low frequency sound could be heard ya, and i'm certain it was from them.

Pork and beef section: similar to mutton section, but only without the mutton smell.

There's still more, I'll eleborate more in the next posts. Shengsiong is only ONE STEP away from the NEXT: culling chickens, slaughtering cows and pigs in-store. only with moaning in great pain would be heard. Perhaps further next: rearing them in aircon room, next to the cashier.

Tekka Mall is a true ghost town. Even though sitting on a prime location, the mall's layout made it a total failure. None of the shops at B1 is open, despite the crowd puller (supermart) is just direcctly below. Some shops are open on level two and ground level, but from level 3 onwards through 8, there's none. HOPELESS.

Those who designed it ought to be hanged; those who approved it ought to be shot.

Relax, calm a 'lil, OK, back to point. There's not much thingy happened over the weekend either. =x
