This was what was given out at the Singapore Day. Durians, Singaporeans' favourite fruit. It is famous for its really super pungent smell. Its loyal fans will love it to bits but its detractors will flee miles before coming near it. Hahaha, it is a love-very-much or hate-to-the-core kind of relationship with it. Anthony Bourdain, celebrity chef was able to eat it but Andrew Zimmerman, bizarre food traveller could not swallow it. Well, at least he put it into his mouth.
During the Singapore Day, it was a free for all. It was not limited to one per entry or two per family…I believed we were not the only family who didn't get it. It was a big scramble for it but it was not our way of doing things. In the end, we didn't get any of it but the group in front of us got more than they needed. Well, the reality of life, if you don't fight, you don't get. But for us, some things are not worth fighting for.
Yesterday, we were at this nice little restaurant having our lunch and we weren't expecting it (life's little surprises is God's way of saying "I love you")….
Were they good? Of course! Were they "smelly"? Of course not! To us, it is sweet aroma. Hmmm…ahhh…
Life's little enjoyment. Savouring a home delight with your soulmate in the comfort of your house The kids? They went into hidding cos' they couldn't take the smell. Bwahahaha. With summer vacation coming, perhaps storing some durians at home may be a fantastic idea to retain my sanity!
