The PAU Principle

Pau? Eating pau? What principles can you derive from eating a pau?

Haha you will be surprised. Here goes.

A friend gave me a char siew pau yesterday, saying she bought it from a stall famous for its pau in Tiong Bahru. Oh, good things must try, right. So I gladly accepted the pau and started peeling off the skin. On the first bite, oh, the feeling of dejavu overwhelmed me. Oh my! I've never eaten such delicious pau! Felt so 'xin fu'.... and for the rest of the bites, I fully savour the sweetness, the juiciness and the taste of the delicious pau, bite after bite.

In between the bites, this sudden thought crossed my mind.

The pau,
if left on the table,
is just like any other pau.
Nothing gained.
But once you savour it,
the taste makes you feel on top of the world.
The feeling of 'xin fu' ness...
The expression on your face,
is enough to tempt anyone to also have a bite.
Just like in our life,
when we come across any opportunity,
If left untouched,
Is just a wasted chance,
No matter how good it is.
But once you grab hold of it,
Really appreciate it,
It can be the best thing you can ever find.

Of course, spare the thought of what happens after the pau go through your digestive system... :P
