here's your menu.

regarding my previous post about change, i think there are certain things that don't ever change. regardless of time, place, the people around you, or how you yourself has changed, some things remain the same for your entire life. tonight, for example, when presented with a menu offering a wide variety of attractive choices, my eyes subconsciously shifted to the photo of the eel rice. i thought to myself, ''no apple, you've ordered eel rice whenever there's eel rice on the menu, for your whole life. try something new.'' And so i ordered fish & chips. It's like if eel rice wasn't there, i would not have thought of it, and i would have happily ordered something else. but eel rice was there, and i know what it tastes like, and it tastes the same old plain EEL + RICE, every single time i order it. so why do i still want it after so many times?! isn't something like, oh i dont know, sashimi or lobster or grilled beef or something like that, better? anyways, fish&chips did not disappoint me, it was good. but as i munched on the crispy skin of the fish, i kept thinking of the taste of eel rice. and i thought, next time i'll order eel rice. wtf.

sometimes, you end up reverting to the old even though you've tried the new(s).
even if the new is equally as good, or better than the old. but it's that particular, one of a kind, irreplaceable taste of the old that you really want. so what to do?
don't look in the menu and ask the waiter to recommend something? so that you don't see eel rice, if it's there?




but what if the waiter recommends you eel rice?

O_o............then what.
