每次搞完健身,回到家就会觉得有点饿,吃了最后一个从马来带来的芝麻香饼,还是觉得不够饱,于是决定再弄个泡面吃,在煮泡面的时候,想了些东西. 首先,我觉得这泡面的分量好像一包不是很够,也不知道是我的问题,还是很多人也面对着相同的问题;而如果放两包面去煮,就面对着吃不完的困扰,毕竟我又不喜欢浪费食物,两包面会让你吃得很腻.如果放一包半呢,我觉得面条再少一点点就恰到好处,因为有时会吃不完,另外半包面,放久了也不好.
我在想,为何生产商为什么不把一包泡面弄稍微大包一点,就增加20-25%就好了,因为增加50%就会太多,是不是增加了20-25%以后,价格会失去优势?或者太多的话会造成很多女顾客吃不完?又或者是因为每个装泡面的箱子设计是为现有泡面的大小而设计,要改又很麻烦?为什么不弄一个XXX Noodles Plus!?多弄一点面和调味粉(面增加了当时调味料没增加也是会变成一个问题),就在那几分钟煮面的时间里,想了许多问题...
我把煮好的面端到寝室去,享受着那"泡面的幸福", 我只是煮了一包,咖喱味的妈咪面,连蛋也不放的.吃完以后没什么感觉,觉得还想在要,广东话说,"到心不到肺". 不禁让我联想起,是不是他们刻意搞这种分量,让你吃得不是很饱,然后又想再要,那你就觉得泡面可口了. 两包韩国泡面再好吃,吃饱后就会有那种恶心的感觉.现在我还没吃饱,这样,才会觉得刚才的咖喱面挺好吃的.就想一些高级餐厅,TMD放两根笋和一些点缀,贵格不饱,很好看,但没什么东西可以吃的.那么在你很饿而不饱的情况下,你就会觉得很好吃了.
待会儿还要喝多一杯牛奶才睡,刚才那阵幸福还真短暂呀!

Pics from Kandy, Sri Lanka
We stay in this so called "most luxury" hotel in Kandy, only USD55 per night for three person, quite reasonable.

Road to Sigiriya
On Saturday morning at six o'clock, the PM assistant (PMA)called me while I was still sleeping, he asked me if we should sneak out for some road trip since he got a car available.
I told him it was too early and why not we make at at 7:30am... at the end, I woke up at 8:45am, and I decided to give him a call, see if the whole thing is still on. Luckily it is. I propose them to visit one of the 77th Wonders of the World, UNESCO certified World Heritage Site in Sri Lanka - The Sigiriya!
The whole trip was interesting because we have no idea how to get there and we didn't even buy any road map due to we can't find any map in all the petrol station that we have been. Thus, I have no choice but spend 15 minutes on the internet and try to look out a appropriate map and draw it in a pcs of paper. We plan to ask the locals along the way.
The trip consist of my house mate and the PMA who proposed the trip. We left out apartment at 11am. It was really a long way, it took almost 7 hours to reach our destination include the time of asking direction, rest, toilet and lunch break. It is so hard to find a toilet along the way that we have to pee in the wild. :)
When we were almost 1 hour close to our destination, my house mate propose to return to Colombo, I was like, "What the hell?" We have driven 6 hours on the road trip and you want to head back?! I have know choice but to persuade these not-so-adventurous ppl that we are almost there. I took the key over from the PMA and said I will drive. Most of the time he was driving because he is the only one who hold the Sri Lanka driving license.
After some time, we finally got to our destination about six o'clock. It was getting dark, we saw the rock stood high up surrounded by the plains. We have to walk 1km to the site, I think it is a very beautiful place that worth revisiting. Due to it is getting dark, there is no way we can climb to the summit. I felt so disappointing when my housemate said we just hit back the road and go home. For me, I would prefer to spend a night at the inn and conquer it the next morning. But all others just want to go back to Colombo, they said we just take some pictures and go home, may be they don't want to spend 20USD for the entrance ticket and another 20USD for staying inside the hotel, also they have problem adapting the local food. I felt my whole day of driving and risking my live on the road is really wasted.
I don't bother to persuade them anymore, told them just hit the road and go home, because it will be getting darker. We spend about 4 hours to drive home. To me, the trip to Sigiriya is fruitless. I only manage to see it from a distance and didn't get to climb up to the summit. Moral of the story, make sure your travel mate is as adventurous as yourself and have the same interest like you, such as know how to appreciate the historical site and value of the place, the art, the culture, etc.. Or else, when you think it is something impressive, they will only see it as some regular rock pieces, and tell you he is not an archaelogist, etc..
