Every week, my colleagues will order many different kinds of fruits in boxes and share buying among one another. In this way, we not only get to eat many different kinds of fruits but it was pretty budgeted to purchase it like this as well. Last Thursday, my officer, Sai Hoon, asked me to accompany her to go and collect the fruits as the order was quite a lot. My main officer, Lisa, used to go with her but that day did not as Lisa's daughter was ill. Therefore, she has to apply half day morning urgent leave to bring her daughter to the clinic. To my surprise, there were quite a few people from other departments too at the fruit collection place which is at level one near to a car waiting area. I still thought my office was the only one buying fruits. oops.. heee.... Everyone there seems like representing their departments to buy fruits and the atmosphere looks like a mini market but it is an office one... hehe... Buyers all wear formal clothings & pushing one small trollies which is actually more for carrying boxes of papers, files, etc ba... Unlike those real markets where all the aunties wear normal home clothings. The trollies they brought along were those like small basket one with wheels. hehe.. Well, I felt very interesting to see such an "office" market. heee.... Today I bought 1 Vietnam Red Dragon Fruits and 2 USA Donut Peaches. I have never eaten those peaches before but last week tried one and found it very sweet. Hence, I ordered 2 this morning.... hee... However, I used to buy other fruits too such as apples, grapes, pears, etc but tomorrow I'm going to Taiwan le [Yeah ~ heee....]so can't buy too many.
Below is the mail I recieved from Sai Hoon & I find it cute..oops.... "15) USA Red Cherry (new Arrival) $14.70/kg" Fruits still got new arrival like clothes hor...oops.... heeee.......
