When your resolve is tested....
My resolve got tested today. And sadly.. I failed to restrain myself! I gave into temptation... I have no self discipline and will power, I caved into my weakness... sigh.... But it has been too long. Way too long..... And I needed it.... I finally started...... snacking on Cheetos!
Ok, quite drama... ha ha.. but when it comes to snacks, my favourite has always been Cheetos. Sadly, for some unknown reason, Cheetos got taken off the shelves all over SG, never to return again. I used to get my personal stash from the now defunct Liberty Market over at Plaza Singapura. Count how long ago Liberty Market has closed and you can imagine how long the cold spell has been (now u understand my desperation?). In between i had donations from kind friends who went overseas. Black Adder and I had even contemplated buying the stuff from ebay. No kidding. Our addiction runs deep.
So today, I met Black Adder for lunch. As we passed by the supermarket, Black Adder just disappeared! Before I could say WTH, I could only see her back view as she ran towards the supermarket. Yes! BLACK ADDER RAN! I chased up to a very speechless cousin, who could only start pointing to some snacks in excitement... Yup.. Black Adder the Cheetos detector... eagle-eyed her had already seen Chester Cheetah a mile away. Apparently the supermarket was having a USA imports promotion and they brought in 2 types of Cheetos: the puff and the twister.
Needless to say, we had an extremely quick lunch so that we can start shopping for the Cheetos... we bought enough to fill 2 baskets. I was pretty sure onlookers must be thinking we are either crazy.. or really desperate. But we had to buy more to ration throughout the months!!! And how desperate were we? Immediately after purchase, Black Adder opened the packet and started savouring it. She fed me one... and it tasted so good...... *bliss*
Unfortunately, the taste lingered on. Just from that one Cheetos. It affected me so badly that I couldn't function at work (seriously). My mind kept thinking about the Cheetos. And I kept looking at my purchases. And finally i caved in and opened one packet to snack on,orange fingers and all.
And now.. stock is running low... need to go get more... need to satisfy my craving...........
