Went out for Korean lunch with W, SK and of course my dear Mei Ing. Our food came pretty quickly all at the same time. I was about to tuck in when W intercepted. He wanted to pray. So, we all closed our eyes as he led us in thanking God for the food on our table. 

To be honest, I was ashamed of myself of forgetting many an important thing.

Because for the past few years I have mostly eaten my meals alone. I have forgotten to thank God for my meals. I have forgotten that food is merely for sustenance, and that we must be grateful to all living beings that make our food. I have forgotten to first asking the elders to eat their dinners, before I dip a spoon into mine.
