Durian Runtuh
In the Malay language, ‘durian runtuh’ literally means the falling of durians, though it’s actually more commonly used as an analogy for ‘windfall’ (ie. hitting the lotto jackpot?).
Well of course I didn’t actually have a windfall, I only attended a durian orgy gathering. It was an RM10 all-you-can-eat durian ‘buffet’ (*burps*… Ahh…). To the uninitiated, ’tis the durian season! All hail the king of fruits!
We were in SS2 for this durian fever and boy I tell you, jiak beh liao*!!! The stall was set up near the basketball court in SS2, and once you sit down and eat, you’ll have to pay RM10, nett.
Other facilities prepared at the venue were huge rubbish bins, and several pails of water for visitors to wash their hands after eating the durians. Basically you just need to sit down at the table and the stall owner will be constantly providing you durians so you don’t stop eating. Hahah.
By the way, I’m sure you’ve heard that drinking water from the empty durian shell will help to lower your body’s level of ‘heatiness’ (like my 1st pic above), and washing your hands with the same water will help prevent unwanted durian smell on your fingers. How far do you think these are true?
Shorttalk: My two tickets to catch the coming Singapore F1 Grand Prix arrived yesterday! The tickets are in the form of a card, with a barcode on one side. Pretty cool! They also throw in a strap for convenience.
I really look forward to this race. Hopefully nothing will stop me from attending the event! Touchwood!
P/s: I just returned from my first-lesson of Level 2 Japanese. Only 5 students! What the #@$! :( But the sensei’s quite pretty and interesting mwahahaha. And she’s from Yokohama! Earlier today I went for quad-biking near the zoo (on all-terrain-vehicles or ATVs) - actually got up at 6:40am for it. Damn interesting experience wei. That entry, of course with pictures, will be coming up next! Sorry for the prolonged inactivity… heheh. You’ll still love me right…? Right??
*Jiak beh liao: It’s Hokkien for ‘eat-cannot-finish’ (that’s the direct translation haha)
