a tribute to my fave fruit.. *not*

when we first got here.. we wanted to go around.. the nice 'tourist' spots were quite far from where we are.. next option.. the malls! hehe.. =p

upon entering the mall.. what's that foul smell? *throw up* huwaaat?! durian? be it outside or inside the mall, there's durian!

i dont know.. i just dont like it.. the smell makes me wanna throw up.. even the candies made from durian.. me no likey.. =D they say it tastes good.. perhaps for some people.. but definitely not for me..

even some of the people here.. shhhh.. smells like durian na din! waaaaah!

lam nyo ba.. in the mrt, you'll see signs, pictures.. that says 'no food allowed'.. there's a separate sign.. hehe.. gues what.. 'no durians allowed'.. =D

it's like it's their national fruit or something.. they put very high regard on the fruit.. i've read that it tastes like baked custard.. with a texture of an avocado..(magugustuhan yata ni allan to netnet.. mwehehe..) while the smell is in-describable, it's delicious.. *daw* =p one guy even commented that it's like eating custard in a sewer.. hahaha!

hmmm.. *type type type* after a few seconds with my all time friend mr. google.. hehe.. well, didnt find anything that would confirm that it is indeed SGs national fruit.. o well.. here's it's nutritional facts..

may funny experience pa nga ko.. one weekday, we went to the grocery after lunch.. i saw the gelato stand.. yummy.. ice cream!!! mmmmmm.. i think the lady on the counter was eager to make some sales so she gave us samples through these colorful little spoons.. syempre kuha naman ako.. =D smile sya sa kin sabay sabi.. that one's durian flavor *yuck* no need to say it.. i can tell po.. huhuhu.. hehehe.. i bought pa din naman.. pero yung mango flavor =) got to buy some pa din.. =D

here's more proof that people here are into the fruit.. we had attended a 'training' two weeks ago at the Raffle's Convention Center.. i saw a logo or emblem.. basta it was on the center, high, near the ceiling, by the lobby where everyone can see it.. twas durian..

they also have a durian building.. if im not mistaken.. it's called, the Esplanade.. which by the way, we see everyday on our way to the office..

check this out.. weird by kewl! =D
