Giving Up For Lent

Does Siaopo has the willpower to give something up for Lent?

Lent is the period of 40 days leading up to Easter.

During Lent , believers will give up their favorite food for self-reflection.

Starts Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, Siaopo has decided to give up chocolate for Lent.

So, 40 days and nights without chocolate !

Like most people, Siaopo, too, is having as hard a time.

Is Day 4 today, and the days of abstinence from chocolate has been absolutely demanding. Days without chocolate worn her out.

Not that Siaopo is completely a chocoholic, but, at times, she could guzzles chocolate like there's no tomorrow.

Kit Kat, hot chocolate drink, chocolate cake yada yada yada....

Everytime chocolate catches her eyes, there will be a horrible lurch in the tummy. It's definitely a period of sheer will power and determination.

Hubby's response surprised Siaopo, when she asked " What are you giving up Lent this year"?

" I am giving up eating offal", he answered enthusiastically.

No more pig tripes, pig tongue, pig liver, pig stomach......

Hubby's favorite dish at Chinatown Express Cafe every Friday night is plate of offal Rice/Noodles.

Well, don't be put off by this photo. It may look like a plate of autopsy, but it does taste delicious. Ha ha..

Siaopo was surprised and went " wow wow wow", even though she was hoping for something like giving up watching Miss TV or Golf.

Hubby is giving up his favorite food for 40 days.

Can he actually do it ? Siaopo wonders.
