My friends called me up earlier today to tell me that they were around my neighborhood and wondered if they could stop over. I said sure, why not.
“Hey, we also bought some foods so we could watch a movie or something.”
“Okay.”
The moment I opened the door for them, I KNEW they brought this too:
Hey.. they kinda looked like kidneys..
Durian.. OMG!! 
While some of you might jump in joy seeing it, I almost puked on my favorite shirt! I’ve always tried to avoid Durian in supermarkets, now I have it right in front of me. I don’t eat those.. because I couldn’t stand the smell.. Well, I used to love Durian but I’ve no idea why I couldn’t stand their smell anymore. Anyway, they end up eating Durian at the balcony. 
PS: I took the Durian photo with a towel tied on my face. Pretty smart, eh?

It’s a kind of fruit, Erin.
Also known as “Fruit King” in Malaysia, because they have a hard skin, and very thorny too.
They’re VERY yummy, but they also have this very strong smell..

I know, Lucifer ..
Even my family think it’s weird for that sudden change. I’ve never fell sick from eating them, the change just happen!
I seriously believe the alien abducted me some night and changed everything in my brain – that includes my appetite for Durian and Rambutan. Can you believe that.. I can’t take Rambutan as well now..

I wonder if maybe it’s just one of those things where you ate it so much as a kid that now you can’t stand it. There are some foods that my mom made so much that now I can’t eat them! (Not a big fruit fan anyway though…)

Lucifer: Wow, Fukouka, I wanna visit there someday! I heard it’s beautiful over there. Oh man, you even know it’s a D24 Durian?!! You have a very good er.. Durian sense!!
I hope you’re right. I hope those aliens will give me back my love for Durian.
Erin: I hope you’re right too… maybe I had too much of Durian before and now I’m sick of it. *fingers crossed* I hope I’d be able to eat it again someday.
