It is the season for durians now.
Last night, we drove past lots of street stalls selling durians. Prices have come down. Last month, my mum bought a small durian for $18. It didn't even taste good! The whole thing ended up in the bin. Now, we see bargains everywhere. 3 for $10, 1 for $1...
Last Friday, my colleague came to my seat and whispered softly for me to go downstairs. Curious, I followed her instructions. Once i got downstairs, another colleague called out quietly from behind the building, waving for me to go over at the same time. Hmm.. What are they up to? I wondered.
There, behind the concrete poles surrounded by bushes, another colleague was squatting on the floor, with a knife in her hand and a durian in the other. Ahaha.. We are having durians half way through our work? COOL!
It was hilarious that all of us squatted on the floor (Imagine us looking like one of those mainland chinese ppl squatting on the floor in jackets that we often see in streets of China ;p), eating durians with our fingers and in our professinal work attire as if we were in the wet market! And we were doing it in a secret. The durians tasted amazingly good. I think the fear of being caught and us fighting for more had added extra tastiness to the durians...
