Shark Fins Soup?
Abalone slices?
If you mentioned these things are given free, I believe many will run to get them. Even if they are not offered free, many would go all out to pay the price just to have a taste of them. Personally I have the opportunity to try them all before, and actually to me, they dont seem to be any thing that special.
I doubt anyone whould reject an offer of a bottle of bird nest, a bowl of shark fins soup or some abalone slices. Maybe there are those who might not like the taste of some of these delicacy or some might just be allergic to it, hence they cant help but not take them. Then again for those who can and see these people not eating, they might feel that it is really a waste they cant appreciate such good food, if not a pity they cant eat them.
Well sad to say, I fall in one of those catagories! Haha.. I have confirmed after the recent incident, and would not like to dare try my luck again, that I am allergic to bird nest! Yeh I know, what a waste right? Thats most of the reaction that my friends would give me when I first tell them. I also do not know why, as I used to be able to eat it and nothing really happens when I was younger. However just a few years back, there was once when I took, then I started to have very bad flu, and my whole throat was itchy and as if I had sore throat, cant swollow properly. This was the first time it happened. I did not suspect it was an allergic reaction then. But the same thing happened again when I accidently took bird nest again.
However what happened just the monday that passed, I was offered the bottle bird nest by my sister. By then I already knew I should not take it, since from the past two cases of how my body reacted to it. But the naughty and greedy me, thought maybe this time round it is bottled one, it would not have such an effect as the self cooked one. Hence I just took a little small mouth full. True to say, I had to face the music just 1h after that. It was really bad this time round, I felt I could not really breadth properly and my whole body was feeling hot. I kept sneezing and I cant swollow properly, like my throat was inflamed and swelling! The feeling was really bad! I had to take some flu medicine to bring it down at the end.
It is really strange how just a small portion of the bird nest can cause my entire body to go hay wire, and how just that small wildfulness of me, can almost cause the danger of my life. I believe many a times in this journey, we never really learn form out mistake until we really hit the conquences hard and big time. But many a times, we actually have a choice in the first place, not to go that route or to do that thing, but we still decide the other. Furthermore, at time the things that draw you away tend to be so much more attractive and you just thought a small part wont harm much. It can be the serious cases such as pre marital sex to playing with drugs, or even the smaller things like cheating and stealing. Just like how I reacted to the bird nest, I mean hay it is bird nest and something really good, how can I miss even if I know I might not be able to take it, I still want to go ahead and try. However it took me 3 times, and now finally I have learnt.
Is there something that is drawing you, yet you know you should not go that direction? You have a choice today, choose wisely!
