Lokam (芦柑)


I went to supermarket (yesterday evening, after work) to shop for groceries, and guess what I see... Lokam (芦柑) or CNY Mandarin oranges :) Guess while everyone is busy preparing for the coming Christmas, CNY lokam (芦柑) or mandarin oranges are seen in the market already. Yeah, yeah.. Chinese New Year coming soon as well.. CNY falls on 29th and 30th January 2006. In 40 days time....

I bought one carton of 永春芦柑 back home. Something special this year ~Besides red wine and turkey etc. , we can have lokam as well during Christmas Eve Dinner :)
My doggy stared at the oranges yesterday night when I opened up the carton. Guess he must be thinking of ~ So many oranges... Can I have one? If I give him one, I will expect him playing with the orange and rolling it around. That is what he did to the Ya Pear I gave him previously. Playing with it first before eating it :) Let's see whether he steals any of the oranges or not, since I left the carton of oranges on the floor. He is free to take one. But most of the time, he is very good boy and he seldom steals.

mandarin oranges always steal the limelight during cny.

so unfair. m sure grape , pear , apple & watermelon will get jealous n feel outcast. they never get the limelight.coz they are fruit of all seasons.

sob sob, they dun feel special.

Poor fruits :(
