    Strawberry craze

    Strawberry has always been kind of expensive of which I seldom buy. But one day on a hot Oct 2009 day I decided to walk over to the organic and expensive food session to grab one. Guess what I found???

    A shocking discovery!! Take a closer look. Something grey on the strawberry right??? Look again at the others too.

    OMG OMG!! Every single box also have them!! Fungus!!! This is a very bad example for supermarkets. I reported this to the nearest shop keeper around. He look alarmed and start to panic. He told me never mind he will settle it. I thought ok then walk off. Since I don't have any hard feelings against the supermarket. I have no intention to do anything as long as they take more care in the future. But to my surprise after 5 mins I came back again to the same session to grab some vegetables. I noticed the strawberries are still on the shelves!!!! They have no intention to take it down at all. I hang around for 10 mins still there.... But due to coming exams, i really don't have much time to hang around and talk to the manager. Hope the supermarket will be more careful next time. If I saw this again, maybe I will report to authorities. Scary and health and life threatening.

    So people beware of what you buy. I am thankful my home economic teacher taught us well. Like choosing can food, checking dates , tin can condition, how to choose fresh food.

    That's the thing about living in Malaysia. Nobody's out there watching over us. No "gah-ment" to regularise everything. You leave ur brain at home for a while, you buy a box of fungus-infested strawberries, you're gonna have a bad time.

    Which is why Malaysians are well-trained to be more independent, street-smart, and be less particular about mundane stuff like whether using packets of tissue papers to reserve seats in a food court is valid.
