I know my ambition
Well, I’m 20+ days away from my FYP deadline and each nite I’m like workin’ till late at nite, ’bout 3-4 in the midnite.Yesterday as usual, worked till 3am then online chat with friends to relax, right until 5 o’clock, listen some mp3 then slept at 6am. Dun be surprised, this is my normal routine when I have a project on hand. ok…I slept at 6am, and now it’s 9 something, so WHAT THE HECK AM I DOING HERE while i should be sleepin’? well, i wake up is just for the sake of eatin’ durian. It’s a long story.
2 days back (Sunday), my neighbour auntie gave my mum a durian and told that it’s called "ice-cream durian". Initially I thought that it’s ice-cream with durian flavour (hahahaha…), but it turned up to be a "real" durian, not ice-cream. Actually it’s nothing special but it’s type of clone durian, either D2 or 101. Well it’s not unusual at all, as it’s durian season now. That day I was supposed to help my friend to format pc (hey, sorry tat i put you aeroplane, but i thk i’ve made a rite move, i chose durian..hahahahaha). Ok, my neighbour auntie told my mum that it’s ripe and can be eaten immediately, so my whole family squat around the durian and startin’ to investigate on it. We smell it, shake it…but all the signs show that it’s still unripe. But since my neighbour auntie said so, we’ve decided to open it.
YUUUUCKS!!! It’s totally RAW!!!
It’s completely unripe and it’s so hard, eatin’ it would be like mashin’ potato (烩番薯). what a waste. Disappointed, we told my neighbour auntie ’bout it, she was surprised too. But then perhaps she felt embarrassed and give us another durian of the same breed. We juz had a very good lesson and this time we’re not gonna too anxious for it. we WAIT. Sunday nite, Monday mornin’, Monday nite…yet there’s no sign of riping. I wonder what durian izzit. Is the durian gene aberrated durin’ the clonin’ process…?
This morning (juz now), my mum rushed into my room and shouted with joy, "The durian is ripe, wake up, wake up open it!!!". ARGHH…I was thinkin’, "Ma, I can’t even open my eyes, how cud i open a durian?". What to do? It’s Hobson’s choice. I’m the one at home who know how to open a durian (besides my dad, but he’s workin’ now), errr, not even my brother (shhh…dun let him know tat i talkin’ bad ’bout him, in fact he’s learnin’ now, from me…hahahaha….). Ha, no more surprise this time, juz as what i anticipated, it’s very nice, at least for a clone durian, it should be nice.
When I was eatin’, out of a sudden i turned to my mum and told her, "Ma, I know what I’m gonna do after graduate. I…", before I could really finish my word, she juz casually said, "Ya, sell durian ma…". OMG!!! how cud she read my mind? Hahaha…As mentioned in my previous post, I’m not sure whether I should be a technologist or coolie, but now I know.
I want to be a DURIAN RETAILER. ROFL!!!
Dun laugh ok? I got a friend has a durian plantation, so he knows the durian price very well. There’s a clone (I’m not sure of the name), the dealer price is ’bout RM8 per durian, and most of ‘em are sellin’ at ’bout RM12 - RM15 per kg. For a clone durian, it’s easily 1kg plus to 2 kg, so each durian would be sellin’ at RM20+. See, the profit margin is so high, ’bout 200%. Where can you get this kind of business with the profit of 200%? Muahahahahahhaha…..
So ppl you see, that’s why a ppl standin’ at a roadside stall sellin’ fruits is much richer than a general manager…hahahhaha…
