I am not surprised that Kuala Lumpur Fruit Wholesalers Association has decided o import 20% less mandarin oranges into the country for Chinese New Year. Did you notice that we already have mandarin oranges before Christmas? Boy, are they early.

Frankly, how many mandarin oranges could one eat? Even before this economic downturn, my family does not buy too much. The most was two boxes and most were given away to friends and relatives as buah tangan.

I see that many Malays and Indians also buy mandarin oranges. They are, after all, just fruits. This should help boost sales of the fruits. What make me geli is all the rotten oranges that are still sold after Chinese New Year. Eeewwww throw them away already, yo!

Anyway, there is still some weeks to Chinese New Year and of course we haven’t bought our oranges yet. Buy so early, finish eating also not yet CNY. Hahaha!
