i will not be blogging much now cos its just 20 days to my next paper. Sighz. Anyway got something funny to share.

Haa Do u tink durian have eyes? Well, b4 i went out to cut my hair this morning, i saw this funny chinese local variety show. Dunno what it is. It explores the topic on durians and on one part of the show, participants have to open try to open the fresh durian with the equipment given. Sounds easy? Might be. I dunno. They provide hammer and a stake ... hmmm looks like those equipment vampire hyunters used to hunt the bat-looking monsters. And a medium size knife. Haa there was one part a caucasian was asked to open the durian. haa .. then this little funny young boy tried to open the durain using a hammer by smashing it repeatedly. haha very funny.

Then come this part when the guest of the show was asked some question. If i am not wrong the qn asked was whether durians have eyes. Then most contestants replied no except for this little lady who said durians have eyes and if you plunge your knife accidentally to the eyes of the durian, the durain spirit will haunt you. O_o [apa ini?] haha. Well the very very funny part came when my grand ma suddenly said to me in a very serious tone. yea! Durians have eyes you know. That's why when there is people below the durian tree, it will not fall of the tree. Haa i cant take it at that point. She said it such a serious tone ... and i was like "Ah Ma!! WRONG CONCEPT!!" She used to tell me snakes have legs .... and the example she gave is the Komodo Dragon. And i keep telling her it belongs to the lizard family. Nothing to do with Snakes at all. She really amazes me some times. No matter how i tried to explain, she wun believe. Stubborness is in our family blood. I wonder if she also believe pigs can fly :P .. [ haa in case you think i am trying to make fun of her ... i am seriously not. Just find the arguments i had over this issues pretty funny]

Eventually the answer reviewed and DURIANS HAVE NO EYES. I became the triumphant winner and my granny [ahaha] just smiled and i am still unsure whether she is trying to joke with me or really really believe snakes have legs and durians have eyes.
