Bread

(Entry 64 - 24. 09. 2019 )

‘Bread and butter ’

‘Bread-winning ’

Popular expressions about bread

Really is about survival

As for me, for an entire year

I lived on bread daily

What’s so special about that?

But, I’m of Chinese ethnic origin

For a Chinese

A whole year without rice

It’s like cave living

Abnormal, unthinkable, foreign

As for me, I found bread

It started off as basic necessity

Then turned into a social experiment

Culminating as a success story

A story of ‘This Time Last Year ’

Basic necessity - not only bread

But also everything else

My life has reduced to a simple formula

I lived off a small suitcase

I wear the same outfit everyday

I paint the same view from my balcony

I live in a small studio apartment unit

All this for an entire year

And it’s been a success

This minimalist life style

Might just well be feasible anywhere in the world
