was eating tako pachi today. for those who don’t know about them, that’s the japanese octopus balls. i bought some bacon and cheese flavoured ones and happily walked towards my busstop in orchard road… opened the box and put one in my mouth…

started feeling. warmth. heat. it was piping hot. too piping hot. i wanted to spit it back on the box there and then, but hey, NO ONE spits food out in the middle of orchard road! so i swallowed it.

then, i had the distinctly unpleasant feeling of something warm travelling down my throat, gullet, and disappearing somewhere where i think my stomach is. it was like, something burning it’s way down me.
