Today marks the end of Chinese New Year. It’s called Chap Goh Mei (Chap Goh means 15 but I’m not sure what Mei means). As you know CNY is not a 2 day affair although it is technically celebrated for 2 days and that’s it. Time flies and after 350.25 days, we will celebrate another CNY again before we know it.
There are 15 days in Chinese New Year celebration, maybe the ancient people extend it to 15 days for children to collect as many ang pows (red packets) as they could in bare hands muahahaha. Ironically, the 15th day of Chinese New Year is also the Chinese version of Valentine’s day. But you can just ignore Valentine because I think he’s an overrated man and I would rather replace him with Lover’s day anytime.
Instead of pressuring Cupid, the Chinese do it by throwing oranges in the river. Being an Ang Mo cupid is tough because they have too many clients to serve. They should consider forming an agency. Next time don’t be too surprise if you see Stupid Cupid Pte Ltd in the market. So it’s vital for oranges to play their role to ease the burden of overworked Cupids. Cupids are not ready to go international, so it’s hard to cater every one’s fantasy at the same time.
It probably explains why the divorce rate is so freaking high. Maybe oranges can stop the rot? In my not so honest opinion, oranges have their own share of protest because the divorce rate among modern couples are still higher than average. Oranges must be treated with respect, with dignity and pampered with love. You can’t just throw them in the river so you can obtain your true love. You wouldn’t know these oranges might start to curse you the moment you throw their asses into the river. It would be bad news if Encik Oren decided to come back in order to take revenge for his fellow brethren.
There’s already a non existence law against animal abuse in Malaysia, you don’t want to see orange activists demanding equal rights for oranges and you don’t want to see oranges start suing people for public humiliation. Never allow the oranges to revolt by starting a revolution. Don’t let oranges rule the world instead of robots.
It’s very very wrong for oranges to form their own political party such as BO (not Body Odour but Barisan Oren). It’s even ridiculous to see oranges and cupid to form their own union. Such formation would be disastrous to the agriculture order. It’s okay if you think I’m writing crap because I can agree very much with you that I’m writing bullocks too!
Do I sound like an orange activist? Not really, I just want to eat my orange in peace, that is all that matters the most.
Oh before I forget, I would like to wish all of you Happy Chap Goh Mei and thank you so much for wasting 4 minutes of your life by reading this crap. Thank you! Arigatou! Terima Kasih! Kamsiah! Xie Xie! Toh Cheh! Yamateh! Kisama!
