HEINZ baked beans
Just had my lunch and my mind wandered off. Was looking at the baked beans on my plate. Reminiscing of the days in Australia when i had left with only a few tens in my bank account. All i ate was baked beans, eggs and plain rice! Pitiful it may sound, i was happiest then. Being alone while munching my beggar-like food... i was keeping in touch with my inner self.
I remember one day when i was eating, mum called and asked me what was i doing. I told her, "MUM, I'm eating HEINZ baked beans! I prefer the other brand that you always buy." Then she went silent for a while... she cried. Hehehe... she thought the money they sent me every month is too little. I'm in such state, all coz of my obsession in Burswood casino. So when she cried, i felt so bad, "i'm sorry mum." I hung up and thats all. Just a simple apology, no further explanation for fear of being reprimanded. I'm guilty of making my mum worried, sad and misleaded!
As i hung up, tears were filling up my eyes. I was alone, penniless and unfilial! I hate myself for that. A drop of tear dripped into my plate and i looked at it blend into my rice. I let go a huge sigh.... and continued wif my meal.
That plate of rice with baked beans and a drop of tear changed my life.
Moneyless days are over.
