My face

Sometime ago, I wrote about one of my good friends getting married next month (September 2005).

Back then, I wrote that starting from that time until my good friend's wedding day is completed, I shall not touch spicy food nor foods containing chilli, alongside of exercising. This is to help prevent any possibility of pimple outbreaks.

Guess what? I broke that cardinal self-imposed rule. Last Friday, during my lunch hour, I had a sudden craving for Sichuan hotpot. Since I couldn't fly to Sichuan to eat that, I decided on the next best alternative, which was TOM YUM SOUP NOODLES.

There is always a long queue at this food stall that I patronized during Friday's lunch. A perpetual long long queue. This time, I waited for about 20 minutes before it was my turn to receive the food. Man, if you could smell what I smelt then, you would know why there is a LONG QUEUE for this food.

As I ate, persiration poured down my face. The tom yum was really HOT!! Not as in spicy hot but HOT hot HOT!! Still, I lapped up the tom yum soup in its entirety.

Today being Saturday, one day AFTER I ate the sinfully delicious tom yum soup noodles, my face is still relatively free from pimples. Which I think goes to show that: it is your overall diet (whether you do eat your greenies, exercise ...) that kinda determines if one gets pimples or not. It does not seem to be reflected whether the dish has tom yum in it or not.
