so it turns out that the egg is a pagan symbol of the rebirth of the earth in celebrations of spring and was adopted by early christians as a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus (taken from wiki).
i still remember how happy i was when i could find some of the hidden eggs. it's fun, the eggs were beautiful (because it was painted), and after that, i could eat those eggs :D
right now i think the eggs have been changed from chicken eggs to chocolate eggs or plastic eggs filled with candies. but i am sure that it would still bring happiness and joy to the children who play along with find the hidden eggs :D
and back to the fasting period that is still three days left. i managed to eat only vegetables during weekday lunch (yay for me!) and still can restrain myself from coffee (another yay!) but.. after more than a month, i fail to fasting every wednesday and friday. by fasting here, i only eat once a day and only drink water for a whole day.. my dropping condition made me have to eat something at dinner time (though it's only fruits or small portions of food).
i had a bad headache and felt chilled every time i did fasting. at first i thought that it's only because it's been a year since the last time i did fasting, but my office environment was also making my condition drop :(
i think i need to revise the conditions for the fasting period next year..
and also to think what is the new 40 days fasting. i've been fasting coffee for two years. so maybe next year will be fancy food or fast food, or something similar and challenging.
happy easter everyone! :D
PS : now i know what fleo has been fasting these 40 days. he didn't invite his friends out to dinner/lunch/meeting. i think it's because he was the one who invites everyone almost every single time :P
