OMG! Aunty Uncle, you damn embarassing-lor!

I had to run into Giant at Kelana Jaya to buy a long bread for dinner tonight. Being the Chinese New Year season, I passed tall stacks of boxed oranges (Chinese calls it; kam, like gold) as I went to the bakery section.

On my way out, I heard an uncle in his 50-60s asking the other uncle about the oranges. Little that I know, the next scene was sight for sore eyes.

The uncle happily opened the box and passed an orange to the other uncle to try?! OMG! -____-!!!!!

As much as they may have bought the box, there was NO PROMOTER AROUND as they happily opened the box! Hence, this is why it was such an embarrassment seeing the uncle and aunty doing it.

Come on-la, aren’t our elders suppose to be role models?! *slaps forehead*

This was seriously a problem, because as I passed another stack of boxed oranges, without uncles and aunties freely eating the oranges, I practically saw a HALF-EATEN orange in an opened box?! Gosh!

As much as I want sweet oranges this Chinese New Year, this is such an embarrassing act I’ve witnessed before the festivity.

Dear God, I pray my parents won’t do this in Giant. Even just because, some other embarrassing uncle and aunty are doing it.

Uncle, Please Stop Sneezing On My Oranges

Me and Ariel were at Giant Kelana Jaya shopping for tonight’s BBQ. It was packed as usual being a weekend, plus Chinese New Year is nearing. Families were stocking up on the booze, instant coffee, mandarin oranges, diapers (yes, we saw some with like 4-5 bags) and other necessities.

One of the items on our shopping list was to buy fruits for a special dessert I’ve ordered from one of Simpleet’s website design clients. It’s going to be a surprise for the attendees and a lost for the absentees. 😛 Because this dessert isn’t officially being sold in Malaysia yet.

While I was selecting some of the smaller sized oranges, I noticed other shoppers picking them too. Then, this uncle on the other side let out sneezes (wife beside him).

My God, he didn’t even bother covering his nose! By the way, just because you don’t sneeze with a loud “ah choo” mouth wide doesn’t mean it’s okay to sneeze openly. Ew.

I was really pissed off to find this mature uncle pausing his picking to sneeze like that! TWICE! In my mind, I straight away thought “goodness, it’s going all over the oranges! f*ck!” He was contaminating the fruits right beneath him and God knows where else the sneeze flew.

And to make it even more disgusting, his nose had a long streak which leaked out and fell on his shirt. Eeeeeewwwwww.

Seriously, if you go grocery shopping with anyone who does this, they make us look like we still live in trees!
