Feeding Time !!!

As "Chicken Burgers" were being distributed by the Catechists, Uncle Ben grabbed the microphone with the very first instruction for the day ... "DO NOT EAT yet !!!" Why ? ... cos the reminder of the day has to be announced ... "Thou shall not litter !!!". Any pieces of McDonald wrapper or chilly sauce found in the church's vicinity would be traced back to the class for they are the only ones that are having "Burgers" for lunch. (Certainly, the wedding reception at the canteen will not have "burgers" on their menu). Make do bins were setup at strategic location to ensure that this rule is religiously complied with.

As the burgers were eagerly distributed by "newly recruited" McDonald mobile distributors, all were ready to "dig-in". The hungry look of some faces, tells it all. "Give me my Burger ... Now !!!" Yum !! Yum !!


Complete with ketchup, chilli sauce & toilet paper (yes !! toilet papers ... budget-cut lah !!!), came the second announcement. "Thou shall not start eating before saying grace". ( "Alamak !!!, so difficult to start eating one !!! )

"Grace" it is. Whilst some closed their eyes, deep in thoughts ... others had their eyes wide opened guarding their "precious Burger" from taking a quick walk away from them. Others, even held it tightly or kept it in their bags.
(Not taking any chances !!! ... not gonna close my eyes.)

(" Chow times" ... are always "Happy Times". Dig-in !!! )
The next 30 minutes after grace was the quietest moment for the afternoon. No talking when the mouth is full.
As the entire lot of Burgers were all dished out, the hungry looking (part-time McDonald distributors) simply watched the meal being consumed. Fortunately, a generous, forward looking catechist envisaged this scene and wiped out the remaining "nasi lemak" stock from the canteen to feed the "feeders". One of them even took TWO packets of "nasi lemak" (No names mentioned... to protect that really hungry one !!!) ..... and HE is not taking it sitting down either !!!
