In Greek mythology, Prometheus is the son of Iapetos and Klymene (Clymene). His name means Forethought. He was the god who, despite warning, stole fire from Zeus and gave it to the primitive mortals on earth. That, to me, is compassion. But for his crime, he was shackled to Mount Caucasus, where Zeus' eagle would rip his flesh and eat his liver every day. His wound healed quickly and so the torment would continue daily with the eagle returning for a feast. This image of sacrificial love continues to fuel the things I do, or at least, reminds me of the things I aspire towards - for the betterment of society and the good of mankind.

Food, Glorious Food!

According to history, the I.House was conceived from the informal dinners that founder Harry Edmonds shared with grad students in the early 1920s. So dining and socialising at the Dining Hall is what they call the "breaking bread" experience, which I agree is the best time to make new friends.










The Dining Hall at the I.House serves delicious meals on most days, although they can be a little expensive. The cleanliness of the Dining Hall, the friendliness of the staff and the overall ambience are really impressive.




My favourite meal thus far includes stir fried rice, baked salmon (hidden under the cream sauce), and veggies (carrots, broccoli, lemons, cucumbers):












Cost: US$8.19 (includes tax)


So, when I am frugal on most days, I'd stay in my room to eat my rice cakes with peanut butter, OR buy from a nearby Deli a 1-foot long Philly Steak sandwich with a free can of soda for only US$3.99
