The limes of life
Ever since Bryan asked me why there was a lime in his duck rice, I couldn't help but wonder what makes the world go round? Is it really money or love? Or the gravitational pull of the sun?
I'd reckon its money.
Now what exactly is the relation between life and limes? Well its like the relationship between Idiots and Indians.
They both start with the same letter.
Why? What were you thinking?
Anyways theres an obvious obsession among us humans and limes. Everything oso must have lime. For a weird reason, limes in our food makes us look more cheem and high class and more worth it.
Subject A:
"Oooh! Look got lime in my nasi lemak. Wah, the 3 dollars definitely worth it man."
Subject B:
"Waseh... My sharks fin soup don't have le.. Wasted."
A squeeze of lime in our food provides us zest and flavour in our food. Limes are also used for decorative purposes and art.
Voila masterpiece.
Oh. There are a few quotes about limes too.
When life throws you a lemon, make lemonade.
But there are different versions.
Male's perspective
When life throws you a lemon, throw it back. Harder.
Businessman's perspective
When life throws you a lemon, sell it and buy apples.
Blogger's perspective
When life throws you a lemon, blog about it.
What? Limes? Not lemons? Aiya.. limes. Lemons. Whats the big difference? Its like telling two Indians apart.
Goodbye.
